Mod [mod] Changes to media in comments

50 Upvotes

Hi friends!

We enabled images + GIFs in comments around 7 months ago which I’m sure a lot of you have enjoyed.

Since it’s clear that it’s a very popular addition, we’ll be keeping them for the foreseeable future. Though we are making a bit of changes effective today to help with clutter and safety:

  1. Users must now have a certain amount of karma to upload custom images/GIFs

GIFs from GIPHY aren’t affected by this, so those can be used without restrictions (other than what’s mentioned in change #2).

Like always, karma thresholds won’t be shared publicly to prevent bad actors gaming the system. It’s nothing egregious though.

  1. Media comments can no longer be made under posts of serious nature (flaired as Serious, Rant, or Political)

Media comments under serious posts typically lead to spam (trolls making light of a serious situation, or bad faith low effort arguments that involve ‘reaction images’). To keep these threads on topic and civil, media comments are no longer allowed under the above flairs. Flairs not listed are unaffected.

Authors (OP) are exempt from this, and thus can still make media comments under their own posts (should they need to add context and whatnot).

———

I don’t think this should affect most of you at all. If you feel otherwise, leave your opinions either here or via modmail, thank you!!!

Mod [mod] REMINDER ABOUT WITCH HUNTING POSTS.

229 Upvotes

With a large influx recently of posts showing weird dms please remember that this is NOT allowed on the subreddit as it is against Reddit TOS to do witch hunting. Posting images of DM conversations will lead to you getting banned, even if the person in your DMS is being weird, its still not allowed. So instead please report weird people in your dms directly to Reddit so they can be banned because we cant do anything about it.

Also as a reminder we aren't doing this to protect the weirdos or because we are defending what they are doing, we are simply just enforcing Reddit TOS.

Have a great day/night!

This is literally an accurate depiction of me everyday. I wanna have boobs, and look at them, and feel them, and have to wear a bra, like all the other girls my age. But instead Im here completely flat chested, and not even able to start E. All I can do is imagine it to console myself. I just wanted to post this to scream into the ether and ask if you have any advice or can relate?

Serious I'm a minor and I'm being blackmailed with intimate pictures. I genuinely don't know what to do.

531 Upvotes

I'm writing this because I'm terrified, I haven't been able to think straight, and I need advice from people who have experience with situations like this.

I'm a minor from Poland, and I've ended up in a situation that I never imagined I would find myself in. I exchanged intimate pictures with someone online, and now those pictures are being used against me. I'm being threatened with having them sent to my friends and family.

The person threatening me is demanding $250 and has given me a deadline. They have my phone number and information about people I know. I don't know how much of what they're telling me is real, whether they actually intend to distribute the pictures, or whether they're just trying to scare me into paying. They have also made me question whether my phone is safe, although I have no proof that they have access to it.

I've already deleted my TikTok account because I panicked and wanted to protect myself. I don't have the money they're demanding, and even if I did, I don't know whether paying would actually make them stop or whether they would just demand more.

What makes this especially difficult is that I'm a minor, and the pictures are intimate. I'm absolutely terrified of telling an adult. The thought of my family finding out about the pictures is horrifying to me, and I'm scared of how they might react. I know people might say I should just tell my parents, but that doesn't feel simple or safe from my perspective.

I'm also struggling mentally with everything that's happening. I'm scared of losing the few people I have in my life, of being humiliated, and of never being able to move on if these pictures get shared. I know that might sound dramatic to someone who hasn't experienced this, but right now it feels like my entire future is at stake.

I want to make it clear that I'm not asking anyone to find or confront this person. I just need practical advice from people who understand online blackmail, especially when the victim is underage.

My questions are:

- Is paying ever a good idea, or does it usually lead to more demands?

- What should I do if the deadline passes and they actually send the pictures?

- How can I protect my friends and family from being contacted?

- How do I report this and get help as a minor without making the situation worse?

- Is there any realistic chance that they will leave me alone if I stop responding?

Please take this seriously. I'm genuinely frightened, I feel trapped, and I don't know what my next step should be. I need advice, not judgment. I already know I made a decision that I regret. I just want to get through this without losing everything that matters to me.
