The temptation to reply in harassing fashion is strong now... That's cool though, actually. NOSTR women, for now, are way cooler than the rest.
Even if they try to slide into your DMs, it's all polite and formulated like something out of a Victorian novel. So genteel and kind, that you are almost tempted to respond... until you realize that they probably want to tell you all about crypto. image
A curious anecdote: once a Brazilian pervert created a fake female profile here in order to harass her. :nauseated:
Many years ago I spent some time on regular social media pretending to be a very very weird girl. I should say the level of weirdness that can keep away some idiots is way higher than I can create and I am sure I am quite good at it.
No I am from the Arab Emirates. As you know we women are not supposed to use internet. So I pretended to be a dude to be able to use it and then I pretended to be a German girl to make the infidels sin.
The world is. Anyway as you know we booked this specific experience so now it is late to complain.
The power of free association💜 In a self-regulating environment, bith parties are more apt to adjust their behavior or abandon a situation, depending on the details & social consequences. Even the scammers get bored trying & move on to greener pastures.
I get harassed, but not for being a woman I've been mistaken for a man many times and called a faggot lol
I suspect the increased administration of relays and image servers has also had a big impact. I don't use the really gross relays. Just paid, curated, and WoT ones. Anyone can still reach me, but it now costs them something to misbehave.
