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.

    I am literally about to post an introduction to Indyx. They used to have a slack community open to all users where we could share selfie and tips and such. It’s only for paid members now (which i am not). I can still create an outfit in the app to share without me being in the photo.

    Otherwise, I have considered sharing photos with emojis over the faces.
