i’m also going to quickly and briefly address “blocking ppl” as this blanketed statement and attempt to hold ppl “accountable”. especially and specifically as a woman.
often times, it is very difficult to try to make “wise” decisions regarding someone that is dangerous. sometimes, when dangerous people realize they no longer have some sort of perceived access, they become even more volatile. even more dangerous and targeted...
sometimes, the safest route is maintaining that perceived access. if you have never been in the situation, i suggest you reevaluate what looks like “safety” and “protection” to you, because it is not one size fits all. that being said, please try to be extremely gentle online.
it is absolutely necessary to expose harmful ppl, but if you notice anyone handling it “differently” do not assume your approach is better and safer for them too. protect your friends and hold them accountable online, but remember you don’t know everything. be gentle.
