It's so ridiculous... since when have selfies been allowed on that sub? The fact that they're all only 75% upvoted gives me some hope.

I can't imagine ever posting my photo on reddit. Yech.

I started posting videos/selfies on Reddit after constantly being falsely accused of being a (white) man in women-centric subs... even by sub moderators. It's sad that even women who claim to be gender critical or critical of gender believe a woman "sounds like man" via words. But having a video of myself, proving that I am in fact a black woman, not a white man, didn't save me from ridiculous bans. 😂 mods just accuse me of being "offputting" i.e. not expressing myself in an approved way as a woman. Smh this is why I love to read FDS posts/comments... they are sooo raw/unfiltered, not uppity/"tactful".

But with photoshop, filters, voice modification and all the other ways to alter videos and still pics, how can anyone trust that the selfies or vids posted online are accurate?

That said, I am sorry for what you have gone through and are experiencing in this world of social media. It's wrong and cruel.

I can't imagine ever posting my photo - or photos of my kids and others - on any social media at all. The times other people have posted pics of me on their social media, I've asked for them to be taken down. My kids, who are adults, don't post pics on social media either. We use social media to talk about ideas and topics we're interested in, not to post pictures of ourselves. The whole selfie thing seems to be entirely about presenting a false image to the world.
