By the way this is the second time this has happend.

You know it sucks because I have been feeling suicidal lately and I’ve been seriously thinking about it. This just makes me want to let go even more.

Fuck the world, Fuck people like this. I don’t even feel safe walking outside because I might get attacked or harassed by some right wing asshole who hates me because of who I am. What the fuck is happening. Why do I deserve this? Why? Why? Why?!! I’ve been crying about this soo much my throat is raw and I can barely cry anymore. It’s so unfair. Just because I was born a boy people treat me so horribly. People want to kill me. People want me to die. Well I want to die. I would rather die than live in a world like this. Fuck me, fuck my life. I wish I was never fucking born. FUUUUUCK!

Edit: I’m going to go cry quietly under my bed, it’s the place I feel safest right now.

Update: Thank you for everyone who commented with support. I feel slightly better. At least in regards to what happened. These are hard times and it’s hard not to feel hopeless from what I’ve seen and heard IRL but at the very least you all have made me feel like it might be worth it to try. I hope there will one day be a day when people like us don’t face such hell just for existing.

    I don’t think you could do this with lemmy or piefed - those would both make the images publicly available and easy to download. I don’t know whether lemmy or piefed support private communities, but I haven’t heard of such a feature so I assume not.

    Regardless, the only way to prevent screenshots and downloads, etc. would be to avoid web-based solutions, i.e. you would need to create a custom app.

    I know Signal has a feature like this where an image can only be viewed once, and I think it locks down the ability to download the image. Not sure if it prevents screenshots, though.

    Either way, I really don’t think the features you’re describing are feasible without someone building a custom phone app.

        nope, there are ways to develop phone apps that allows disabling screenshots. I’ve used phone apps that disabled screenshots.

        Phones in general are much more locked down and easier to control. Desktop computers and the web are generally much more open and difficult to control.

        That said, there’s nothing stopping someone from taking a photo of their phone - there’s no way to fully guarantee security, there are always workarounds.
