 Lost another good woman today. Wish I had known noshole was being bullied. I’d’ve used shipyard to schedule minute by minute notes with awful shit mentioning the offending account.

Probably wouldn’t have done anything but I would have tried.

Maybe a Hashflag? Like a hashtag that’s a call for help by bullied accounts?

We lost Roya. Now Noshole’s gone. nostr:note1uas9rf0eu4h0wcg6ffc5dwm2lcu2e8qvt5ztn3yjhrj24236922ssc8jlv

 So, here’s the thing.
Take screen shots, mute the person, then ask for help. 
 Good protocol. 
 Nah, that's called "dogpiling" and it's the most toxic shit you could do to kill a community. 
Don't be a noob.  
 Fuck 👀 
 Whoa what? Wtfh 
 @golang-news tell them... your gender doesn't matter we are a hive mind, not a market for attention 
 wtf nostrudel

@Laeserin  
 Why are you responding to GolangNews?  Or is that what you pinged me about? 
 nostrudel somehow picked up that one when i meant yours :) sorry to confuse

people want to make this about gender and it obviously isn't 
 The worst I've experienced was someone female-presenting just going completely apeshit, it's true.

It's more about how women respond differently to it, are less willing to suffer it for long, and about how we're much more tempting targets. 
 it's also a common cloak for actually males with predatory intent as well

there is some disturbed units out there and some of them are professionals at being disturbed, i encountered one yesterday trying to push my buttons 
 i have an eye for subtext that i doubt anyone can decieve... i can read AI text when i see it and i can read pretense when i see it, in just a few words, in a sequence of exchanges

most people just aren't very good at reading and/or are deluded by models of the world that don't involve vicious soul eaters prowling among us 
 Go read the interaction. She left over someone being mean about seed oils. Not gender related. 
 and this…

 You can check my profile, I’m no troll. I’m not trying to be negative or insensitive, but look at the context of this conversation. It was hardly one sided or gender targeted from what I’ve read. https://i.nostr.build/Enlxx.png  
 Everyone is trying to be a simp and white knight. Nostr is full of simps and coomers

 It’s called sticking up for yourself and your friends 
 The bitch was toxic too in this case  
 Was toxic too when he abused me? 
 Abused? Did he physically touch you or hurt you? If not, get a life lol  
 Go educate yourself kid. 
 You proved that womens rights was a mistake 

Repeal the 19th now  
 Oh look another 
#anotherfucktard 
 I love the mute button😎

With that said though Marie, I know you’ve hosted girls only spaces, and I think that’s great.

I’m not so sure about the hashtag though 🤣 if you start using that hashtag whenever someone is being trolled, it’s going to make it very easy for more trolls to find the content. It’s a bit like “troll centralization”. 
 I didn’t make up the hashtag it was suggested to use so others know to try and help the person in need, safety in numbers for females. And I don’t play the victim card, I can handle myself here, for others it’s not as easy and we should support each other after all isn’t that another reason Nostr is different from other platforms? 
 I know you can! And more power to you.

We do have a great community here, which we need to maintain and a big part of that includes making this a positive environment for others. 

But with that said, I don’t support everyone here (including a few in this thread) and what really makes Nostr different is the ability for users to control their own experiences. 

We do need better tools to curate who we interact with, but it’s ultimately up to us as individuals to choose who we interact with, jn what manner we interact with them, and how we react to the interaction. 
 I find it convenient to see who the trolls are.  🖕 
 I agree with you about the trolling aspect. These are impossible situations to navigate. All we can do is offer help and try and figure out someway to be alerted to the distress of another person.

I like the idea of “hashflag”. I keep thinking of something like a hashtag but somehow invisible to all but those who have been sent the Hashflag or something like that. I’d have to be smarter to have a really good solution. 
 The power of mute and ignore is still very strong. My first month here included a few nasty interactions, but I built a nice mute list and that helped.

Trolls are like leeches, they feed on the energy you give them. To kill a troll, you must ignore it and not let it affect you at all costs. Unfortunately, when big accounts leave and we have discussions like this, it energizes the trolls. 
 🤣🤣🤣  looks at this ! I can't stop laughing right now bro tell That to your mother !  
 Tell her what? 
 Oh no, your army of simps is going to call me names

 Just pointing out what a childish idiot you really are. 
 Have you ever once considered that there is a stain on your soul?

That can really do damage to your future self. Perhaps you should rethink the road you travel. 
 You literally worship bitcoin

Your soul is tainted too

 Hows your trade going crypto boi?

 Hum, is it a gif? It's just blank here, do you have a link? 
 Gif yeah.

Let me do screenshot. https://image.nostr.build/bb28da9d62e275e85aaf79b13e882a4da53aca24ff486705fc7d6b99f93c7718.jpg 
 Hum very strange what note kind are you using? 
 This one’s not loading for me either. 
 Just Amethyst  
 This is all I see even if I copy the url

Are you sure your not doing something different? https://i.nostr.build/WGAWL.jpg  
 Wow this is weird. Let me try different.  Not doing anything special. Regular amethyst post

 Pretty sure you're not connected to a photo host, what setting do you have on?

So nostr build is having issues I guess.

Cant wait for ditto to be finished.  
 Very strange. you seem to think you know enough to quote the US Constitution to an Aussie but can't “post an image” to save your life.

That's my W for tonight thanks for your time, effort, and mind space. 
 Not my fault the nostr clients and centralized media severs are shit you retard

 Rekt. Classic shitcoiner L🤣 
 Ah so it was a you problem  
 ✌️💜 hope you fornicate yourself with the same hatred you have for a fellow human. Just think I took a good 10-20 minutes from you hopefully one day you can be decent. 
 You started it lol
We could have been bros
 
  https://i.nostr.build/LeO89.jpg  
 He he thats my fediverse instance 
That rule is to be taken lightly  
 And what does that have to do with nostr ?  
 No one can make out what you’re saying with that giant dick in your mouth. 
 I muted him, after seeing him talk Roya down. 
 Wait was it this jerk that caused Roya to leave? 
 He was one of the last ones I saw her arguing with and he was really vicious and creepy.

I think she argued with someone else about her family, though, and that was the end. 
 I'm going to go report him. Sick of him. He clearly has no self control.

I made the error of umuting him, last week, and he immediately popped up in my feed and started talking his thirsty bullshit.

Remember that @node ?  
 Yes. I have him muted too. That npub is always involved in some BS. It’s tiresome 😮‍💨 
 I wasted as much of his time as possible. They have no clue about anything. Muted as well 
 Report who to whom? Nostr is not designed like Twitter and Mastodon lol 
 Roya abused me once, she had it coming.  
 Thanks for reminding me to mute you. Keep forgetting. 
 Made that an easy choice for me 
 Please share this story lol Now everyone thinks I am the reason She left it seems. We were frens on here. 
 The same thing that Marie tried to do on Nemesis and failed, Roya did on me and was successful, I had to pretend she was right so everybody could cool off. 
My experience with social networks is that women are always the ones that start bad shit, sooner or later they try to abuse their accumulated power.  
 The era of the Modern Male. Built to simp and put women on pedestals regardless of their toxicity level. 
 😂 
 Workie for me 
 Some people feel differently, you cannot tell anyone how they should feel. 
And for the record I never implied that you were a troll. 
 I just wanted to express my good faith from the start 🫂😅

It’s true, you cannot tell anyone how they should feel. 

I’m pushing back on the gender aspect because this (can be) a very adversarial and blunt place on the internet - and it doesn’t do anyone justice when someone leaves and it gets boiled down to boys are mean to girls. 

Two people had a nasty, rude disagreement and unfortunately one of them left. I respect you standing up for your friend. 
 She was trying to dogpile on him and failed. If you read in context, you will notice that actually she was harassing him, not the other way around. 
 
 Get yourself educated on exactly what happened. 
 You hijacked his thread and tried to dogpile on him.  
 Can't people just block others who bully them? 
 Some people get sucked into shit and don’t think about it. Others have issues with it altogether.

I mute regularly. 
 This. There's no point in trying to reason with an unreasonable person. Just send them into the muterverse. 
 Ladies might benefit from the homie method.

-yappity yap mean stuff!!!
- @frens anybody know this clown?
- frens - nah. lets clown him then block him.
-all - hurray for homies!!! 
 I had a fucked up day and came on here to get some positive vibes.  This is not the update I was hoping to see 😢

Can anyone provide details on what was happening?  Not able to understand from the quoted note and thread.

If you’re out there lurking on another account #Noshole, we are with you 🤙 
 Woman harassed man. 
Man got pissed off and told her to fuck off. 
She didn't, instead she doubled down by trying to dogpile on him. 
Dogpiling failed. 
Woman played the victim card. 
Everyone believed her because "#BelieveAllWomen"
🤷‍♂️ 
Now it's blockfest, welcome to the fediverse. 
 One of the thing I really appreciate about SSB is that block events are publicaly posted by all clients (at least all the ones I've tested). It makes blocking a communal act: see someone you trust block an account, give the account a look, and perhaps block it as well.

More important to block there since each account takes up storage on your device, but would be nice if clients did that here for blocks and mutes. The trolls can go play with the people that can stand them, and micro communities can form free from trolls and spammers.

I haven't checked, but does #nos do this @rabble? 
 IDK about nos, but Amethyst does. 
 I know Amethyst has the thing were if a certain number of accounts you follow block an account the account is hidden for you. The thing I'm talking about is if I block someone, it gets posted to my timeline that I blocked x. Does Amethyst do that as well? Don't think I've ever seen a post like that. 
 All clients do that! NIP-56 :) 
 Sweet! How do I get the block and mute events to show up in my feed on Amethyst? Guessing there's a setting I'm overlooking. 
 Amethyst sends them out, but AFAIK doesn't show them in the client.

We could always ask Vitor to add this functionality :)  
 Luckily the worst of the worst I think is blocked at the relay level once found out, however I feel once you see all these block events in your timeline you may find yourself seeing much content you rather had not seen in the first place. Once WOT is more available in clients you won't need to block accounts your follows blocked. 
 Yeah Scuttlebutt does the block announcement and oddly it does work.  
 Maybe not a kind 1 post but I know when you report something Amethyst not only reports it but sends a reaction with alarm sign. I don't like it though cus if I report something I don't want to help advertise it in any way.

Ability to see a list of accounts your followers blocked could be nice though for those wanting to seek them out. 
 Only recently started following her, sad, she seemed like a cool cat, 

People finding the freedom part, but not ready for the responsibility to be decent sigh! 

We'll see a lot of this as the user base expands, and clients and relays will need to have tools that anyone can use to ding certain npubs, like be a douche, then on your own relay and shout into the void where you have no friends

slide #1  for this communist struggle session. WHAT HAPPENED TO GFY <3 ?? 
 Regarding this conversation I stopped seed oils completely almost 3 years ago and feel no different about it. I am curious of people that say cutting seed oils improves how they feel. That's not the reason you cut them, but rather to avoid further damaging your body and hopefully avoiding a bunch of disease. 
 IDK about ONLY seed oils, but I drastically reduced plants when my mom convinced me to try carnivore. Used to take antihistamines for allergies every day, heard burn relief chews every day, nasal inhalant every night to breath for sleep, pain meds almost everyday for back pain. All that disappeared and my life honestly changed. Either way, not a religion and not worth judging over. 
 Yeah seed oils are poison 

Most people eat poison every day

Some people are immune to some poison

Eat less poison 
 Why don't the more sensitive just mute those who bully them? Isn't it being to sensitive on internet? It will never be a polite promised land..life ain't like that at all. 
 It’s both, but I think the general consensus here is that in a world of mostly good people, with the power of full freedom of speech, many of us feel the responsibility to use that freedom to call out assholes when they’re being malignantly antisocial.

Part of how organic free society forms is that when someone behaves in a way that is unacceptable to the other individuals, the one who acted out is shamed or ostracized, and learns that the rest of the society will not voluntarily associate with him if he doesn’t modify his behavior. 
 Yeah but the bad actors should be cut out when possible. To heck with that toxic crap. Doesn’t mean I don’t pull a weed from my stoop when I see one. 
 Just a random thought I had: design nostr to have a yin and yang element to it. Create spaces for the two polarities and you choose where you want to spend your time. I think we haven't explored hidden/private groups enough either.  
 👀 
 can't you just block assholes?  
 The way out of hate spirals is just to feel sorry for the haters and bullies. That releases you psychologically, and they lose any power to trigger your defenses. They are genuinely hurting in themselves and it must be horrible to be them. But they have to live their life, you don't have to live it for them. Let it go with a compassionate glance. Get on with being you. 
 I noticed Primal showing the notes of people I've muted earlier 
 Read her latest post, she wasn't bullied off, she left for her own reasons

@Noshole 
 based on the seed oils discussion and her latest post it seems to me that she left not because of gender based harassment but for personal reasons? She had a disagreement about seed oils, and I don’t see gender based hate ? is this another example of projecting our own bias on to a situation and totally misinterpreting the reality ?
