 that's nasty

fwiw, it seems that bluesky looks at the browser language, then by default it shows posts in that language in the discovery view
which was really confusing to me because i interact with the internet pretty much in English only, but i imagine for most people that's a good choice

 Most of the Germans on here write in English.

 Yeah, it got ugly. Nobody ever apologized, either.

I guess you got here after they tried to chase me off with dickpics and scat-eating pics in my replies, rape threats or threats to come to my house, bot armies aimed at me, etc. Had to constantly report, report, report, which is why I usually only read from relays I control, now.

Theforest is the result of me trying to figure out how to use Nostr without just being harrassed, the whole time. That's why I know so much about how all this works.

 i'm so sorry to hear that 🫂 

honestly that was kind of my worst fear when coming here
i haven't actually seen that much really ugly stuff here
which gives me some confidence that this can work
but we'll see i guess...

 It took us a while to get rid of them all.
