I love this space and I keep wanting to share photos of outfits I have put together, but I don’t know how to do that in a way that protects my privacy … It seems like a lot of effort to use software to edit the photos to make them safe to share, for example.
I was wanting to check with the community and see how women solve this problem generally, and maybe brainstorm a list of ideas of ways to safely share selfies / photos, here were some ideas I had:
- take photos with neutral backgrounds that don’t disclose private information (e.g. location)
- use something like an emoji to cover up face
- find a way to share the photo in a password protected way (with what service?), and only distribute the password to users you trust (unclear on the logistics here)
- share the photo with an expiration feature, e.g. allowing only a certain number of times to view it (Signal has a feature like this) or that expires after some amount of time
Was wondering how you all find online spaces for women where it’s safe to share outfits.
I know on Reddit, some of the subreddits for finding a good bra make every post a spoiler, making it harder for prurient men to easily browse and preview photos, etc.
catbox has “litterbox” where you can set time limits per image up to 3 days :)
I also had the same concerns. I’ve considered a seperate photo sharing account for if I ever wanna show face and/or body (as in outfits)
I recall hearing about a lolita fashion discord that kind of requires being active and having co-ords to share to join, I never checked it out tho. Maybe matrix would be a good avenue for having a safe space to share outfits/photos? I haven’t tried matrix at all yet either lol
