About this site

Why survivors of online harassment needed a space of their own.

Because what happened to her — and to thousands of others — didn't have a name. And things without names are easier to dismiss.

Our Story

It started with a fake account.

She was a teacher, a neighbor, a person with a quiet life she'd built carefully over decades. Then someone — an ex-partner — decided to take it apart. Fake social media profiles. Messages sent to her employer. Her home address posted in forums. Photos stolen and reposted with fabricated captions. A coordinated campaign designed to make her look dangerous, unstable, and untrustworthy.

The platforms did nothing. The police said it wasn't a crime. Her employer put her on leave. Her friends didn't know what to believe. By the time the harassment slowed, she had lost her job, her apartment, and two years of her life.

She was not the first. She will not be the last. But her story became the shorthand — the way "gaslit" became the word for a particular kind of psychological manipulation. To be targeted this way is to be systematically harassed, discredited, and hunted online by someone who wants to destroy you.

"She lost her job. Her apartment. Two years of her life. The platforms said it didn't violate their terms."

Our Mission

Give it a name. Give it a record.

01

Document

Every story published here is a record. A timestamp. Evidence that this happened, that it is happening, and that it will keep happening until platforms and lawmakers take it seriously.

02

Validate

Survivors of online harassment are routinely told they're overreacting, that it's "just the internet," that they should log off. This site exists to say: no. What happened to you was real. It has a name.

03

Connect

Isolation is part of the attack. When you can read someone else's story and recognize your own experience in it, you are less alone. That matters more than we can measure.
