I'm truly sorry your experience with Lemmy is so negative. You look badass and beautiful, and I hope you don't let this negativity get into you.

Thank you for your valuable input and taking time to answer. Much appreciated.

I absolutely can see this aspect, as I have mentioned in my original post. Personally I also rather enjoy the community with social interactions that are more authentic and fun.

But this still leaves my question open, because women who do not engage in the practices you described and on contrary engage in building this community without any advertisment, but happen to have a link in their bio, are targeted too.

Now to clarify - I don't think anyone should be targeted at all, subs can set the rules, we must follow them, and mods can warn and ban those who break them. And in all other cases - don't like something then don't look at it.

But it seems having a link in bio is enough to bring the hate on and this really is something I would love the haters to clarify- why?

Grab some popcorn and a very comfy spot to relax in - it will be practically all outdoors coming here from me! I just love being naked in the nature and as long as it is not illegal or offending somebody, I make it happen.

I share you sentiments. Thank you 😘

Thank you 🥰 so the thing is I really strongly dislike having any photos of myself taken by others, I am a camera shy... hard to belive right? Hahaha. The thing is some years ago I discovered I enjoy photography and started experimenting on myself and it stayed that way. I take my own photos and videos. Vast majority with DSLR, but sometimes I use phone too

Thank you. I post there, but something entirely different to match the mild theme

I agree, but I also understand cultural and religious differences and I'm not a fan of winning over dead bodies. So I try to have as much fun as I can while staying respectful towards others. So far it has been a smooth sailing and I have been doing this since the day I was born hahaha

Thank you for being you.

Yes there is a block feature. I am not sure how it exactly works, but I would presume the blocked member is prevented from viewing and interacting.

But the question remains- why? I hope those brave keyboard warriors have enough courage to share their reasoning here.

Thank you. It is a body chain so goes from my neck down to around my waist. Little sexy piece of jewellery

Thank you for this.

I actually had nothing but great experience on Lemmy (bar one comment) previous to this post, but I came across many negative comments.

Now this has changed and I'm showered with hate, because I dared to post what I did.

It is insanity.

Not that that should make any difference but I am a total amateur - I work full time in professional environment closely connected to my education. I also take additional work, because life is expensive as we all know. This leaves me with very little time for myself and my hobbies, I have always enjoyed photography so I started experimenting on myself with the camera, not like I could had asked any friends to be my nude models nor had time to go and study photography.

I literally have thousands of photos in my folders that have never been seen by anyone - too much for social media.

It took me years to gave in to request to open OF and start sharing. I never had it on my agenda. But it feels in a way like the most safe place to share and the best place to be appreciated too.

Yeah, I have a link in my bio. But I don't go and shout about it. I don't mention it in my comments and I don't even make titles suggestive enough. I don't feel like anything I post here screams "promo".

I belive if somebody likes something they go and investigate and then they do what their heart desires. My link is as an option if anyone feels curious and would like to see more or support what I do. But that's all.

At this stage I decided to use a block feature. I'm playing a Santa too and giving a bag of coal to all those nasty boys (they certainly don't sound like men)

Thanks for being you and being awesome!

Oh the list of wishes can go on and on hahaha. But I'm happy to be just the way I am and kindly thank you for such lovely comment. Have a wonderful Friday and if you can go and save some water 😉

And many thanks for taking part in the discussion. I think I started a war on myself 😆

Thank you, but actually quite opposite. My experience is mostly nothing but positive and fun (apart from rare instances). I have been enjoying social interactions on Lemmy and often reading comments with smile on my face.

But I'm not blind and this kind of behaviour online is hard not to notice.

I don't have to agree, but I can understand why people would have less appreciation for purely advertising content (they still get content though!).

So they want real amateurs, posting for a thrill, but good forbid any of them happen to also have a link in ther bio.

I cannot make sense out of it.

Lemmy can easily ban all creators, just for having a link in bio, regardless whether they post non spammy content, don't advertise and engage socially, or not. But I wonder how many posts would be here to see? My bet is on only reposts of "borrowed" from somewhere else content.

I hope this is allowed here - the brand is called a-s-s. Search for A Swiss String. All pieces are handmade by amazing woman who designs all the lingerie and bikinis. She ships all over the world. If you can't find the website just send me a message. And you can always tell her Kaye send you. I don't get anything from it, but she knows me so maybe it will help.

Thank you.

I sense a hint of sarcasm here, but I also may be wrong.

In any case the encouragement is welcomed, but not needed. Many thanks for offering 🥰

I'm an emotionally mature alas wild woman, who feels comfortable in my own skin and with everything I do. Don't need sweet talking to keep me going, nor bad mouthing to stop me. I may be soft and friendly and full of positive energy, but I also have a tough skin and I'm not that fragile.

The purpose of this post was the get an answer to my question, not to vent nor look for support. Most people here are awesome and I appreciate all respones. I just don't understand those few bad seeds. This is not my personal experience but what I have noticed in general ever since I joined this community.

Thank you for taking time to reply and I hope it was in a good faith too. Wishing you a great day.

You are so incredibly kind - thank you 😊 And yes to building a new better community. And bigger yes to doing all things in name of science and research 😉

Thank you. All appreciation and much love to well adjusted members of this community.

I have a feeling I may have expressed myself in too much detail, as this post was to be a question, not a cry for help out of frustration.

I would love to see those brave keyboard warriors, being courageous enough to answer, because I honestly would love to know why.

I will let you win, because I know I would enjoy it 😉

I take the parachute- let's go!

Thank you for taking time to chim in! This is the first response to my question so much sppreciated. Just shame none of those who actually hate on, had balls big enough to explain their carry on.
