Even if they try to slide into your DMs, it's all polite and formulated like something out of a Victorian novel. So genteel and kind, that you are almost tempted to respond... until you realize that they probably want to tell you all about crypto.

It was really terrible, when I first arrived, two years ago. A lot has improved, since then.

I’ve always been quietly curious, but also don’t want to know what goes on inside a pretty lady’s inbox. 🫣

Nah. It was _really_ bad. Glad it's over.

There were actually more people, back then. It was years ago.

Well, yeah, but nobody is sending me violent porn or making rape threats, anymore.

Really? Which clients and relays are you using?

I'm not getting unundated with anything. Not even spam. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have great relays, tho. That's probably the main thing.

🙄

I suspect the increased administration of relays and image servers has also had a big impact. I don't use the really gross relays. Just paid, curated, and WoT ones. Anyone can still reach me, but it now costs them something to misbehave.

I built a special version of Jumble, to maximize my own favorite relays: https://jumble.imwald.eu
