I made some references for Dell! This took me forever. 13 days, to be exact.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

FireCatRich - 🔞 Contents May Be Hot @firecatrich.bsky.social · 5d

Pressure for all spaces to be all ages friendly ('safe' can be weapon used against marginalized groups). Moderation saying life, stories, art should look like x doesn't leave room for everyone. 'Just go somewhere else' isn't good enough. Communities need space. Full stop.

I sent in another feedback form because we cannot allow Bluesky to think that we have given up.

#BskyCensorship #SaveSpeech

I am concerned with the fact that Bluesky has not rescinded its new Community Guidelines regarding fictional sexual content and the stigmatization of mental illness, including self-harm, suicide, and substance abuse.

Rather than banning this content altogether, creating further moderation tools would be beneficial to ensuring Bluesky remains a space that respects free speech while also allowing for people to customize their experience, including with sexual and "sensitive" topics.

Fictional content related to non-con, dub-con, or “dangerous” kink content has no right to be entirely disallowed for simply existing FICTIONALLY. There is no such thing as “degenerate” art, and enforcing that arbitrary, imaginary divide between morally “good” and “bad” art is FASCIST. Allowing corporations, governments, etc. to regulate morality (especially in fiction) will only lead to demonization and even dehumanization--first of people engaged in sex work and other related professions, then of people deemed “immoral” or “dangerous” in other ways, like queer, trans, disabled, immigrant, etc. people. You CANNOT outlaw one thing for being “immoral” and “dangerous” without opening the floodgates to outlawing other things arbitrarily deemed “immoral” and “dangerous” to a corporation, government, etc. This is exactly what happened to Jews, Roma and Sinti, homosexuals, disabled people, etc. in Nazi Germany. Dehumanization is an integrally important step toward genocide, and censorship of "degeneracy" (even if you're not calling it that) allows people in power to decide what counts as "degenerate"--worthy of censorship & extermination. When will "not allowed to be seen" turn into "not allowed to exist"? Because it will; this is not a hypothetical. As a historian of the Holocaust and Germany, I implore you to reconsider these terms of service that will cause a whole lot of damage to REAL people (rather than the FICTIONAL art you're banning).

(Too long: continued in the comments)

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

I drew this at midnight last night with my finger on my phone. It was supposed to be a tiny Dell riding the tongue of Dr. Sex, but it ended up looking like vore and it was so funny that I had to share.

Aww, thanks! Also, totally not throwing your work in the references folder. (You will join the pile of observation. I will draw the perfect engineer. It will be magnificent.)

Zero|Coldbaltblue @coldbaltblue.bsky.social · 4d

Woooo! Look at him go! Your style is also so sexy (in a structural way) and fun to look at!

Hope is a powerful thing.

When there's no way in sight, it can guide you.

When you are out of strength it can renew you.

Yet, hope is a living thing. It must be fostered and sustained.

It can be born of one, but thrives among many.

And if cared for, it will tell the story of what it survived.

Blusky was nice for a minute Twitter is a cesspool of right wing proganda and terminally online dummies threads is like the Apple Store a cold soulless place so I don’t think there’s no where to go social media for genuine interactions without the 5 dudes and govt putting them their thumb on it
