Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!

Go on, don't be shy!

✧✧✧ #kinktober2025 list as promised ;3c

Hilarious. My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you. What you do with this information is between you and God.

Fuck all that other bullshit about #blueskyblackout2025. New banner, now with 50% more nipple. Don't let anyone silence you. Do not comply. Self-censorship will not serve you nor help those you claim to stand with. #NSFW #NSFWart

Both I consent! and We consent! yeougui.com/products/con... You can just grab the file from there

for future legal purposes:

A little something I did for @maned_wo1f on Insta— their OCs Sam and Evan have got me in a chokehold.

Perks of joining! See wips and other art from me early! I stream commissions and sometimes will do freebies! Vote on things i should draw next! Server events! (ex. Watch Party's, Game Nights, and Secret Santa's) And most important you'll be there! see you soon! let me know if the invite isnt working

I am mad. Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here. You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored. Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here. All of it. SFW. NSFW.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Post a dick Don't let them stop you #BSKYcensorship

I am a SFW artist and I stand with NSFW artists and creators. Do not participate in the blackout. Shout your opposition to censorship loudly. Shame on the bsky moderation team. Do not comply in advance. No one is free until everyone is free. #bskycensorship #blueskyblackout2025

NO PORN TO POST? Use the tag #bskycensorship to talk about why this matters and to demand change regardless! Repost nsfw artist work in protest, uplift our voices, and tell others what's going on and why to care! Check the replies on the TOS post for ways to explain: bsky.app/profile/bsky...

Hey! Did you guys know that crying/tears during sex is entirely normal and not always an indicator of Negative Emotions? With sex, there's these funny things called Emotions and some people cry when overwhelmed with said Emotions and not all Emotions are Negative! :D

Hey, I made a really stupid sticker for your BDSM art in 'honour' of #bskycensorship war week. Graphic design is not my passion, so feel free to slap this goofy thing on your painplay, shibari and whatever if you want to give a🖕to T&S, I don't care because I'm not a fucking cop.

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead! Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship Demand bsky listen to its users

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

I don't have anything profound to say. Censorship is bad. Tag and spoiler your NSFW art. Informed consent is more important than smothering voices.

Blackouts are dumb, go repost and comment nice things on an assload of NSFW art you like, or follow a starter pack of cool trans artists making stuff you're interested in. If your intent is to protest, do it in a way that actually supports the people you think you're standing up for.

You look like this.

for y'all on mobile, here's the same button! 🫶🏻 suggested points to mention: • the guideline wording is too vague, allowing for liberal interpretation by moderators • we already have personal moderation tools. a better use of resources would be making these tools better

And so, it seems that even BlueSky wants to join the bigoted censorship that reigns supreme on social media. Shame! I'd like to say it surprises me, but... U_u #bskycensorship PS We're not participating in #blueskyblackout2025 ...think the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves. #nsfwart

nah fuck it im gonna be loud. the world is dying and everything we do is wrong to someone anyway. censorship of ANY KIND is facism. Full stop. FULL STOP. Fictional depictions of taboo and uncomfortable subject matter NEEDS to exist, whether you agree with it or not. #NotSafeForFascists

Am I tired? Yes. Will I be silent about absolutely fucking stupidest idea of blackout that will help no one? Fuck no. And you also shouldn't be. BE LOUD, LEAVE FEEDBACK, DON'T LET YOUR VOICE BE SILENCED 🗣️

Oh and the Blue sky blackout thing is a horrible idea. Don't do that, but do keep posting smut and porn and cum and gay men and gay women and dicks and boobs and hot sex and tf and gaping holes and dirt and mud and clay and sticks and rocks and little bugs that have sex on trees...

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

I know this has already been said a million times by now, but do not give this site what it wants. A blackout is a stupid idea as this not a sight run on advertisement and the lose nothing if we all went silent.

Instead of a useless campaign on a site that doesn't have ad revenue/killing momentum, you should be loud and supporting NSFW creators. This helps no one and should in fact give incentive to create/support NSFW artists during this time

#bskycensorship do better for the people who built your site or you won't have a site

if you want to help yell at Bluesky over the TOS, this thread has a lot of helpful info on options you can take!

TELL bsky you have an issue with this! 1) KEEP talking about it - don't let this issue fade away 2) Submit feedback to bsky! TELL them its not okay! On PC: on the right under "trending" On mobile: on the left under "settings" 2/🧵

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause

This is what consent can look like! Emotions during sex are complex and nuanced and I won't have a platform take away my autonomy by deciding for me what my art is about. I won't be treated like a baby. I won't call it something it's not. We just want to draw in peace like damn

look you can allow art that grosses you out to exist or you can be a fascist. "But surely there can be an exception for--" nope. exceptions mean you're a fascist. "But--" NOPE. fascist.

They would prefer everyone shut up why would you give them the thing they want lol

I'm not gonna bluesky blackout, we should be wall to wall illustrated fictional guys in this place to make a point

Hi! We're an association of almost 2,000 cartoonists from across the globe. We've been trying to get in contact with you about your upcoming policy changes for some time now! Please get back to us via email or let us know who else we could talk to in a timely manner.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

a blackout? so go silent so I’m easier to ignore so no one has to look at my freaky art while I voluntarily put a dent in my income?

They're already shadow banning comments that don't agree whole heartedly agree with their restrictions to art.

I'm not participating in a blackout because the point is moderation and others want me and those like me gone, and I would much rather continue to occupy the space I helped build rather than give everyone a chance to feel how much "better" it is without me. why wither when you can be a thorn.

🖕🖕FUCK CENSORSHIP🖕🖕 QUOTE YOUR NSFW

Also, people did not stop posting porn on tumblr after the ban. They stopped tagging. You can take fire and gasoline to a site and porn will still be there, now just out there without any protections that used to make it safe to navigate

If this platform fails minorities who are currently at risk of persecution in various parts of the world, there will be no one left to keep this site afloat. I hope the owners of this site learn to value the users, before everyone leaves here to look for better places.

To tell the truth, many are here to escape platforms like X, Meta, etc. Looking for a healthy and less toxic place to have the freedom to express themselves. But if this platform becomes like the others, it has little reason to exist. Because in terms of functionality, it loses to many other apps.

But it's still disappointing to see this site repeatedly failing a large portion of its users. Whether it's banning people for anti-fascist and pro-Palestinian comments, or censoring art that the platform doesn't consider "sanitized".

I never believed this platform would be a safe haven forever. But I believed hostile changes would take longer to appear. I'm not going to migrate elsewhere yet (I don't even know where else to go), and I'll continue posting normally and supporting other artists on this platform.

Although I'm generally pretty vanilla, I enjoy drawing femdom/soft BDSM. Many people might misinterpret these works. Am I going to have to draw the characters looking at the viewer and put speech bubbles saying it's all consensual role-play?

The new bluesky guidelines are completely arbitrary and easily manipulated to fit any anti-nsfw rhetoric. Who draws the line for what a drawing depicts or doesn't depict?
