In my head, I was thinking harassment as being targeting individuals or small groups. But of course it could be large lists of (insert name of outgroup(s) here).

Gosh, I often really want an internet without ads just for artists, nice people, nerds, tech savvy yet social people, happy-to-help-people, scientists, and of course cat lovers.

I would expect that at least personal harrassment gets harder with this requirement. But I'm not sure if I'm missing something.

Not asking you to share what those might BE, as obviously there are good reasons not to share the details of abuse methodology. 😬

(And if you say “no, I just expect these barriers to be worked around,” that will not make me assume it is all safe and good.)
