Nostr has become the only place on social media where women don't get harrassed.

Define”harassed?”
You’re not getting inundated by perverted jeets?
I'm not getting unundated with anything. Not even spam. 🤷🏻♀️
I have great relays, tho. That's probably the main thing.
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.
Don't jinx it 😒
It was really terrible, when I first arrived, two years ago. A lot has improved, since then.
Glad to hear it.
I had to swat a bunch off as well, my prickly personality keeps them at bay.
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.
So your a dude pretending to be a chick?
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.
Or I've aged out of the target group and entered the age where men just want to help carry your groceries.
Either way, I'm relieved.
me when im lying
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.
Yeah right.
A curious anecdote: once a Brazilian pervert created a fake female profile here in order to harass her. :nauseated:
Wtf... What's wrong with Nostr?
I’ve always been quietly curious, but also don’t want to know what goes on inside a pretty lady’s inbox. 🫣
Not much. Basically nothing.
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.
Quite interesting and true.
I get harassed, but not for being a woman
I've been mistaken for a man many times and called a faggot lol
They assume I'm a fed bot 🤷♀️😅
Well, yeah, but nobody is sending me violent porn or making rape threats, anymore.
Ah you dont know Nostr BR 😢😢😢😢 But I can handle 👊👊
Really? Which clients and relays are you using?
I use Amethyst
Dont ask me for the relays I see +200 now before it was like 10??
ANCAPS are at all relays 😠😠 I will pwn them 😈😈😈
I built a special version of Jumble, to maximize my own favorite relays:
Im going to use THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙💙💙💙
Sexual harassment might be very tempting, but we have to remember we can't delete posts from our npubs
Send bobs and vegene
I have been called faggot, degenerate, mentally ill and sick, but compared to other social media, it’s not that bad.
