I love this place, the people, the fun…and feeling like I belong in this community. Now I need this community to help me.
A couple of days ago someone came into my DMs for harmless conversation…this quickly turned very dark and nasty. I was threatened and blackmailed - they were going to spread all over the internet how much of a dirty slut I am, doctored screenshots as their proof. They were blackmailing me to send them nude photos in exchange for being left alone. They harassed me from multiple accounts.
What made this whole ordeal worse for me (and possibly why I acted differently to others who may have just ignored the threats) is that as a young teenager I was groomed and abused online over a 2 year period. This brought back horrific memories for me and left me absolutely terrified. I stupidly tried to reason with the troll who used my trauma to laugh at me and mock me.
I took a break as this place was no longer safe to me, it was tainted with my trauma and I was fearful of who is hiding in the shadows. I can’t thank Nuno enough for acting quickly and helping to take care of the problem, and my friends for their continued support.
I don’t want this evil bastard to drive me away from a place I love. He can only win and have power over me if I let him…but I need your help.
Please if anyone sees any posts, photos or screenshots targeting me just flag and report them. If it happens in DMs do the same thing.

I think the best thing I could offer you is intel....links where, you can both take and make your case to cyber professionals. I did a cursory look on yer behalf and, after looking at a few websites, I decided on this. And, I would tell you upfront that, I'm looking for contact information that looks legit so, my hope is that this steers you in the correct direction.
And look, life is not about where we were, it's about how we have learned and evolved in to who we are and wish to become. You're not unique in this dilemma, you're but a victim that have had this befall any number of thousands. We're all born, we learn, we grow, mature, and learn some more. It's the process of life Sophie...for everyone.
So, enough of that😉
Currently for you, I feel a legit site to contact, if you decide to pursue it, might be this one regarding what they seem to term "sextortion":
I want to know you'll keep in the fight! Do not despair, go forward. You will find that fighting in to the wind is far more empowering than lying behind a rock waiting for it to blow over.
