@lovxrs.bsky.social is the only young human I’ve heard addressing the weirdness that so many need pfps that are anime, & I agree!!! Everyone on the app, including everyone who attacked me, has pfp‘s of art that’s not theirs, nor is it fashioned off their face (usually). Mine was based off my face - ThreadSky

Not only was I attacked by hyenas (like bad Vent users would act like) but you can still see people you’ve blocked. All their posts, bio, comments on posts…

I’ve literally been treated 300x better for months here on Bluesky than I was in my 1st 15 mins on egge.

3 things that don’t make the app ‘egge’ safe as a social, venting & diary app:

1) downloadable media
2) trolls reside there
3) incomplete blocking feature

End of 🧵.

Not going to comment on your experience of harassment as I can't say anything about that other than that I didn't experience it. But I do find it a little unfair to compare a newly opened app made by two people to an app that had several years in development and is 32 million people large.

The app is NOT a vent alternative, as the dev has stated several times before. Anime pfp are largely used everywhere, on here and were esp. on vent. Bc of the same reason as you stated: not wanting your face on there. Not everyone can and will make the effort to draw/create a new profile picture.

In fact, i'd rather see someone use an anime pfp where everyone knows it's from an anime, than AI art, as that's ethically way more problematic.
For savable media, maybe make a suggestion to the dev, he's active and listening. Ask for a setting to allow/disallow saving your media. He has recently

implemented turning off comments/dm messages from posts because people wanted that. Apart from the fact that screenshots still exists. And bluesky allowes it too.
Same for blocking, tell the dev about issues! He can't come across every issue himself.
