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
I'm on Matrix, but I don't use it much. For a client, I'm using Element and it doesn't have any obvious features that allow you to expire or restrict an image, etc.
I wouldn't want to share my photos on Discord, esp. because you can't feel safe knowing invites won't become public later or that it won't end up becoming shared publicly later.
But yeah, hard to find a way to share photos that I feel good about ๐
