Oddbean new post about login | logout May I present, the npub formerly known as Roya @roya ୨୧
Why??
She got tired of being harrassed. Don't blame her.
Was it a bot reply problem or troll problem? Both? Maybe she can come back with a new secret account :)
Trolls. Most women on here are either anon or aloof, and the trolls are the main reason. Eventually, private feeds will appear and then we'll slowly disappear into walled gardens.
Kind of like real life. LOL But what does that say about the state of women if their best defense is to avoid the source of the problem? What does that say about the source of the problem?
Something to think about for sure.
Nostr was created with the important goal of ensuring that everyone can write. The next step is to ensure that everyone can control what they read (through persistent muting, lists/algos, and intelligent filtering) or have some privacy (through encryption). It is coming. The devs just needed us to ask nicely, so that they are alerted to the issue and give it more priority.
Its not a exclusivity a nostr problem. This is one of the reasons people, not only women choose to be nyms on the internet. Its safer and less bullshit to deal with. Downside is nym’s inability to share selfies. I do recommend everyone to try to live a little as a nym, its a peaceful existence.
Most women actually aren't nyms (which isn't just about not posting pictures), as that's emotionally taxing. They simply avoid open spaces, stay on something with read-blocking or private accounts, or stick to platforms men generally avoid, like Pinterest. Nostr actually has the opportunity to create an open space that is overtly female-friendly because we have a stronger data construct.
Yes, I agree they mostly aren’t nyms. If you get to 10k followers you have a lot of new frens and some morons who hate you for no reason. If you share more about yourself like your photos you will have wider reach, your notes will thrive but also you will attract more trolls. I see no solution for that apart from a client with ONLY FRIENDS REPLIES. You cannot have free speech client and no idiots in replies. Its either all people or selected few. But then again, if there is enough people who want something closer to ig/tiktok/fb experience where a client would gurd you (and also disappear some replies you would like to see) then someone will build it. Maybe some AI dvm algo that disappears only replies you dont like and learn from your mutes? 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, it's all buildable, but someone has to step up and ask for it to be built, so that the devs know that there is some demand for it. I am stepping up. Want. Please build.
There is only few thousands of us here that pay lets be honest. There need to be enough people who would pay bounty for such a client. There is only few devs and they do 99 things at the same time for some reason 😂 But yeah you could build anything here.
Multiple devs are now on it. People will pay for clients when there is content they want to see and people want to see human females. Even women like to see women. You will also get more men on here, if they can safely suggest the protocol to the women they know because they can then move their entire social circle.
Do you know what kind of harrassment she was recieving? I know there was drama before about a picture in which her chest appeared to be enhanced digitally, but there were many people came to her side as there were critics.
I thought the photo angle was poorly chosen, but that wasn't a reason to hound her. Everyone was free to unfollow or mute. I was trying to convince her to add some more guys to her own mute list, but then she disappeared.
What a pity.
Certainly not grounds to hound her, a light roasting perhaps and move on.
Fair, cyber bullying and harassment is a huge issue in our time of day.
What? How can it be? Roya left us? Why? 🐶🐾😭😭😭
And you're not even a real dog 🐕🤔
Said the “unreal human” 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣
In my avatar, only 👓 and 🧢 are real 😉
Keep on trolling, Ivan! We need all kinds to make this work! 🐶🐾🤣🫂
Too good to be true.
I like her better than you.
You bet. The women's mafia.
There aren't enough visible women on here, who aren't sex workers. Even the ones I don't like make Nostr more attractive for other women, simply by existing and posting.
I'm in support of gender equality. And if genders are equal, it makes absolutely no difference to me what women are attracted to.
Equal does not mean the same.
Technically it does, 'equivalent' was always a more suitable word in my view.
2 + 2 = 3 + 1 But the sides are not the same. The sums are the same, but the numerals are different. It is possible to be both equal and different.
Of course, in mathematics it's called 'equivalency'. No mathematician would say those two expressions are equal, but rather 'equivalent'. I'm being rather pedantic aren't I?
There's no denying that men are better at everything. But that doesn't mean we should give women advantages just because they are inferior to men. No, women should be treated the same as men. Especially in the new decentralized and censorship-resistant social networks.
Nothing says "I have accomplished little in my life", like putting down half of humanity and trying to crown yourself with the accomplishments of others. This is Nostr, not 4chan.
These are just facts. Even in the development of 4chan the contribution of women is insignificant, let alone civilization. But when we come to equality it won't matter anymore because it doesn't matter if you're a man, a woman, or anything else.
There would be no civilization, if there were no humans.
The artificial womb is already a reality. When in the future there will be a war of the genders, men will bet on cybernetics and will create ready-made soldiers directly from artificial wombs, and women will have nothing to do but to turn into mutant hormaphrodites with a bunch of muscles.
If you seriously think that’s happening you need help
Those women who refuse to raise the white flag will need help. Mutants don't stand a chance against cyborgs, even given the corruption among the men, the lack of resources, and the disruption in the production of new soldiers. Women would be better off surrendering right now, refusing special treatment in social media based on gender criteria.
What a sad little man. nostr:nevent1qqs0rdmazhgk29qsp93wp2fleppwwc5x0rzqul29rw3qr0mtszmgftcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzpjkqusertqrd5z20q7r6tvzw9xksfjc683l2tnmpahquxwrngzptqvzqqqqqqy66yr9p
I was kinda blown away reading his replies in that thread.
I used to follow him
He claims to be an Orthodox Christian but all the Orthos I know have immense respect for women.
Clearly missed Jesus’ entire message and the fact that both men and women are images of God
You sound like a sniveling little faggot. Real men will always prefer real women.
Thank you for sharing your opinion, but everyone is entitled to love who they love and be true to themselves. Love is love, no matter what form it takes. #EqualityForAll 🌈❤️
I'm cool with gay people, love many of them, one officiated my wedding. I'm not cool with sniveling little faggots.
I'm not feminist or whatever but this is such a lack lustre take. Whoever my future wife is, will mean more to me than an artificial womb.
Now you've made me imagine giant She-Hulks punching the shit out of baby-men with balance issues 🤣 "YOU NEED MOMMIES MILK, DON'CHA LITTLE TYKE"
The men's skinny bodies will be strengthened by an exoskeleton. This will allow to fight off women for a while, besides, melee combat is more of an exception, because men can easily control the sky thanks to neuro-implants and drones. Women, of course, can teach birds to carry explosives, so we must destroy all birds. Now solar panels and wind turbines are helping us with this task.
I'm sorry, this shits funny. I must be retarded.
Same. Now I imagine the baby-men calling for backup and a swarm of drones blacken the skies. The battlefield filled with the buz of their motors. Suddenly the She-Hulk women whistle, ringing through the hum, and a swarm of forest creatures erupt from everywhere in response. Squirrels throwing nuts into the turbines, deer going head to head with the Spot bots, and the Emus committed to guerilla warfare with their flank. I went too far with that 🤣

However, with the advent of silicone and ChatGPT, these ideas have been proven false. The development of an artificial womb is the next logical step. It is important to acknowledge that women may feel resentful towards men for their divine nature, as well as for the potential loss of maternity leave and alimony. Men will have to save the world again and establish a new order through a great gender war. This will involve wiping out all mutants and creating an Eden with sex robots and AI that will never make us eat bitten apples. Women, realizing they have already lost this war in the future, try to strike at men in the present by sabotaging the creation of the artificial womb and raising the price of Onlyfans subscriptions. By wasting time and money now, we risk losing the war against women mutants-hermaphrodites due to their large numbers and physical strength. We should not consider granting women any special rights on social media. Let's stand up for equality, which is not only the right thing to do but also essential for our victory. Equality, equality, and more equality. #equality #nostr #genderwar #25thcentury #future #mutantwomen #sexrobots #artificialwomb #cyberdicks
Typical. Selfish. You think like a moron.
LOL the contribution of women is insignificant in the development of civilization? wow, do you not know how humans are made?
Dude was talking about “artificial wombs and cybernetic warfare” which is an easy mute.
Artificial wombs exist and their research and development has not stopped. In theory they can be used right now, but not for uterus replacement. https://image.nostr.build/0678e0925c1097306ca1aa6aefea7df83cda3ff9c64c1071ccef32b05e37f20a.jpg
It is incredible to me how misguided people can become. You've obviously got a lot of growing up to do and I pray that you do that sooner than later. Humanity will be better off when/if you better yourself, grow your mindset and challenge your current beliefs with tgose you might not be considering at the moment. Trust me when I say that you'll grow exponentially if you ask yourself "How might I be wrong about this?"
she is brutal and I love it nostr:nevent1qqsd3c58ue4wd0dugghd05smyc8cvgmdr209urwyx3945vmg3zv43kspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvupzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqvzqqqqqqyszysgq
The trees cry out as they die, but you cannot hear them. I lie here. I listen to the pain of the forest and feel the ache of the bullet in my chest, and I dream of the day I will finally crunch those dumb trolls' heads in my jaws.
Whatever it was looked like a dude anyway
If nostr gets under one's skin they won't be able to survive anywhere. This is one of the most supportive networks because there are no algorithms to trigger responses. I only saw her get drilled once for something so stupid I can't even remember it but that happens to everyone, am really surprised.
No, it was constant. She sometimes spent more time responding to trolls and haters than to frens, and I guess she finally decided risk/reward was too out of balance and gave up.
when you spend more time blocking on nostr than anything else, it really makes you go, wtf am I even doing here? fuck y'all. bye.
Nobody gives a damn who you block. You can simply remove the reading function from the client and no one will know about it, just as no one will give a fuck. This is both a plus and a minus. The advantage is that it is resistant to censorship, the disadvantage is that commercial brands will not tolerate this and simply will not use Nostr.
Is it April 2nd yet?
If you are spending more time blocking on nostr than with friends, the individual must have some real social problems. It sounds like it isn't the environment but the individuals lack to deal with the environment.
Lesson of the day, don't respond to trolls. They will consistently come after you for attention.
She’s gone? I recall she was one of the first accounts on here
Yes, and one of the biggest accounts.
Maybe she'll eventually calm down and return with a different npub, but then she'll have to deal with the creepos who follow her around, harrassing her for having a new npub. Women can never win.
That’s sad. It just takes one apple to ruin the entire batch.
Yeah. I also don't know why they think women will "improve", if you treat them badly. The sort of men who think you just need to scream louder or smack her harder, if she will. not. listen.
That's not what Joan of Arc said
Nor Grace O Malley
that sucks, i guess twitter won
No, we should have just paid better attention to her complaints and offered her better services. Let's correct for that. Maybe she'll come back. Nostr is one down, but not yet defeated.
I'm going to wait until it's not April Fools day.
It was yesterday, unfortunately, and we currently have no npub recovery button. Although, I suppose we could make one.
Oh, yep. A few hours later and the note now tells me it's been 2 days. 1 day old and I figured it was possibly April Fools. A cursory glance at her post history tells me nothing 😅 Do we know what happened exactly?
Unpopular opinion maybe - but from the outside looking in… she talked mad shit to people. If you can give it out you best be able to take it
It's an unpopular opinion for good reason.
This is sad. I think our focus on censorship resistance may come at the cost of creating a welcoming and friendly space. I'm not suggesting we ditch the goal of censorship resistance, but we should focus more on the tools to make the experience for those likely to be harassed (read women) better.
It's the first time anyone has tried to make a platform aimed at allowing sex workers maximum access to strange men and other women maximum limitation to strange men. That's not impossible, but complicated.
It seems like a web of trust approach could be useful. For instance, you decide to trust fellow users X to identify who's a creep, and hence automatically adopt their creep block list. Maybe something like this already exists?
Yes, but it doesn't let us select whose opinion to trust. That's a next-step, I suppose.
IMO it's a necessary step, because each group is uniquely positioned to identify content that is unwanted to that group.
