The members of the group "Curse my selfie" upload their photos to the mercy of trolls
A Facebook group called Roast my selfie ("Curse my selfie") encourages people who are in it to criticize other people's photos and post their own to the public. There are already 43 thousand people in the community, and 80 thousand in a similar group for adults, which appeared later. Some participants do not limit themselves to one picture and post new ones, because the first one was cursed rudely enough. Others provoke trolls, saying that the comments received do not hurt them at all.
The tone of the comments varies from moderately unpleasant remarks to vicious attacks. Although administrators send complaints to the management of the social network about the harshest commentators, community posters read: "Go away if you have low self-esteem. This is not a place for whiny *****."
(10 photos in total)
The rules of the original group prohibit the use of filters or covering the face, and racist comments and swear words are also prohibited. In the group "Curse my selfie 18+" it is forbidden to publish screenshots from the profiles of participants and photos of their children. Participants under the age of 18 are removed from the group.

One woman posted four photos of herself with the caption "Not bad for 31 years old." More than 60 people commented on them. Group member's comment: "31? I'm 41 and I look younger." Another person wrote: "I know a lot of women with skeletons in the closet, but yours must have a whole grave!"
Under the photo of this girl, everyone began to mock her eyebrows.
The woman in this photo called on the commentators to "act," and they did so.
This man's mustache became an easy target for attacks.
Comment: "You're trying to focus on your body because you have problems with your face."
Comment: "It's good that we don't see the other half of your face."
One of the former band members can't explain why he posted his photo: "To be honest, I don't know why I did it myself. I saw a photo of my friend in the group and thought I would get funny comments and a bit of banter. I assumed most of the comments would be pretty good-natured. And so it was, but some people moved to too personal insults — beyond the border where their words ceased to be funny."
