Deleted my post about the sexual harassment I'd received on Fedi, because it was driving more sexual harassment toward me.

@vkc I didn’t see that. What was said?
Edit: how did the sexual harassment look like?You should approach this potlatch style: you offer a graphic description of something nasty that happened to you, to the public, unsolicited - be sure to roll around in it, really feel all the horrible feelings it evoked. Make sure to link the other party.
**Then** you can ask someone else to do the same, realizing that they aren't obligated to return your 'gift' in kind.

There's a certain subset of people who are pushing an _ideology_, and the sexism is an expression of that ideology.
They're going to keep coming back from bans, and making sock puppets because appearing to be more numerous than they are is in service of that ideology.
Promoting the idea that they can't be stopped and the only way they can be delt with is by giving them what they want is also in service of that ideology.

@vkc no it is not and quite frankly your response is quite obnoxious. If we can't talk about problems collectively on this shithole platform and only talk about one thing at a time than it becomes loose islands among the rest of the sewage, but fine whatever. Thank you for proving my point about how hostile this place is becoming with all you morons whining, but yet do this type of shit. Anyways, enjoy the block. I generally don't care.

@vkc the hostility toward gen z in general has ramped up, but yet these whiney bitches want gen z to clean up their mess while straight up abusing gen z claiming this is what all generations do which is just manipulation.
@alex02@elonsucks.org @vkc Block or block and report.
Not really difficult to decide in this case.
Edit : Done @alex02@elonsucks.org blocked and reported

Y'all want women on Fedi? Fight that shit. I can't do it for you.
@vkc women will just stay on corporate social media even more because at least the user base there isn't so heavily skewed white male. I'd only been posting regularly for about a week here and got tone policed by some dude who said he was muting me for 30 days because I wasn't cheery enough. I extended his 30 days with a block. I've been in tech for over 25 years and I don't play.

@vkc I wonder if it's a good sign for my instance that I'm seeing a lot of replies to what I presume is people being sexist pricks but not their actual posts.
@disorderlyf @vkc Thanks, that explains some of the non sequiturs I just read!

@vkc
I'd report and block them... Dont censor yourself because of bad users. Just my opinion.
That is the power we have taken back by being on the Fediverse

@eq "don't let the idiots get you" - do you see how that puts it on me?
I trust you mean well, but respectfully: no. The correct response is "men should fight back when they see this amongst themselves."
It isn't my responsibility to "not let them get me down." It's men who need to step up and fight this battle.

@vkc ugh. I saw your earlier post and I'm so sorry 🫂
A *lot* of (mostly) guys need to learn the difference between appropriate, consensual flirting, and sexual harassment.

@vkc@linuxmom.net I hope you're fine. Harassers are such awful people. I hope they don't do that to you ever again, and that admins in our instances do their best to block them

@alice I think a lot of guys could also benefit from reading your "sucker punch" post about open registration and moderation. It def opened my eyes so how others are treated on here and elsewhere...

That is the power we have taken back by being on the FediverseI think the "I" in that reply needs to be "you" and "me" for that to work.
If it is just the woman doing the moderation, then those guys just keep doing it, and it becomes "women's work". -

@vkc sadly this is an issue that'll only start to get better when guys call other guys out on this behavior—every time they see it.
