@eribloodlust furthermore when i dm asked someone for cwing an announcement, they posted my handle publicly in retaliation and some people came my way to harass me last night. thats part of why i stepped away. im not naming names cuz thats not how i play. i send a dm because i wanted to keep it private cuz fuck that call out culture and harassment.

@eribloodlust im not a stranger to online harassment even from within my scenes, but im trying to avoid it when it comes up.

i just dont trust that in the masto community around me (who are not friends but just people on social media) that i will be generally safe from triggering content, nor from harassment when i ask people to use the tools we have designed for the purpose of saving us from triggers and emotional burnout.

@eribloodlust i just will think about it a lot today, taking a long break from mastodon and particularly my filter bubble here. its so hard for me to walk away from things like this, but at a point i have to protect myself. i use block, mute, filters, etc, but i learned yesterday that i also want the community to be responsible for each other and be considerate that this stuff is triggering, & since i dont see that changing here, i think i will just go.
