2. For information on social and emotional saftey, please scroll below. I have created a series of photo posts about the issue of avoiding harmful people in the feed of IMVU NEXT. I hope they are helpful to you. I have gathered this information from a combination of 6 years of professional training in Domestic Violence as well as personal experience.
3. Get and share my SILVER SHEILD BADGE to help spread this information to all who may need it!
Thank you for visiting my homepage. Here, you will find more information about myself and my work on IMVU. I am an 9 ( !!) year resident of this platform and have seen many friends come and go. Whether you are a new face or a familiar one, I hope you experience online is a rewarding one.
IMVU is not always the safest place. It came to my attention many years ago that many people are in need of reassurance that they are not alone when times become bad on the platform. There are limited measures you can take when it comes to ensuring your privacy and saftey on the platform, as IMVU has not taken the time to fully secure thier services.
You can still contact support and flag mesages both in chat and discussions, in order to cover those bases.
If, by any chance you are in need of the following recources in an appropriate situation, use these to ensure your safetey. I wish you well, and hope that you find the right people at the right times in all the right places.
There is a myriad of information available online in the form of support groups, shelter info, emergency and legal websites and hotlines, etc. These include information for those who are experiencing abuse which includes online interactions. Even if you do not need this information, save it for a friend, or keep it in mind.
YOU DESERVE TO BE SAFE!
I began writing these in March 2019 after doing the same on facebook for over a decade. I felt that IMVU needs an open conversation about the issues of boundaries, personal saftey, and emotional self-defence.
