DO YOU REMEMBER

Hey @bsky.app how about listen to your userbase when we say we're perfectly fine with the self moderation that drew your userbase over here in the first place instead of banning all the shit you said would be allowed with proper tags? Stop treating cartoons like real fucking people.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

We can clown around about the TOS changes all we want, but we need to *also* remember to directly contact BlueSky about how you feel about this decision. We're a lot harder to ignore through direct communication than memes...though still keep making the memes, they're great!

Do not allow censorship of artwork and fictional content. Even if you yourself dont agree with it. You can't fully explain why certain ideas arouse people due to our lack of understanding of the subject. Censoring it makes things worse, and we are left stupid and uneducated.

until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

Tomorrow we all need to pound ALL of our reps about this. Demand consequences. Theyre doing shit like this because they think they will face no meaningfup consequences, so we need to make a big fuss about this so it isnt further normalized

been feelin like

For personal use:

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

This might be important to some people

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

All the callers going for payment processors, start calling Patreon and demand alternative payment processors.

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND PAYMENT PROCESSORS STILL AREN'T BACKING DOWN. WE HAVE NOT WON YET.

I know you're tired of hearing it I am tired of saying it But please, if you care AT ALL about queer or adult content, make the calls. Keep the pressure up

Censorship of porn is just the test run. Age verification is going to kill the open web mashable.com/article/age-...

If you want to keep seeing art from people like me, if you want to stop financial censorship, you still gotta keep calling the call centers, contact your reps, sign the petitions. We have to keep this going

INCREDIBLY important: If you have been blocked by someone and it's been communicated that your presence is no longer welcome in any form....don't make another account and secretly follow them for God knows how long until they find out and block you again. Respect boundaries.

It is beyond infuriating watching companies who backed the presidential campaign of a sex criminal tell me my titty drawings are too risky for their brand

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

this is why we need SFW artists and non-creators to stand in solidarity with us. Some points of attack are especially risky for adult creators, and you can mitigate that risk by prioritizing those targets yourself

This is what we mean when we talk about how targetting "porn" inevitably leads to targetting non-pornographic content too, usually media from marginalized demographics They will never, ever, ever stop at porn, or at taboo sexual content. It is a Trojan horse. ALWAYS.

See how websites are already targetting "sexually gratifying" content?

This is why you keep at these motherfuckers with your calls. Do. Not. Stop.

As of now that is three of the four commissions I initially took in that roster done. Thank you all for your patience, I have been busy with ongoing medical issues and job hunting. I've been exhausted and kinda just withdrew. I will send the next updates to the relevant party, this last commission+

A character design/flat ref commission for @vivipixels.bsky.social of her OC Panache! It was my first ever character design commission and my first time trying to make a sort of ref sheet, it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. #furry #furryart #refsheet

Commission for @bawdybooster.bsky.social of their ocs. Avery the lamia happily coils around her friend Cassidy as well as her self as the former swings a pocket watch above them. #hypno #hypnosis #hypnokink #lamia #nsfwsky

Commission for an anonymous client who gave me the prompt of a weather forecaster getting dumbed down into a bimbo version of herself via a tv-head, with some boob expansion! #hypnokink #hypnoart #brainwashing #bimbofication #dumbification #nsfw #nsfwsky #nsfwart #transformation #techcontrol

CPBC Cards Paypros Banks CYOA 4 a day Choose from your menu AND KEEP CALLING

coming into age in the 90s/00s when edgelord shock punk was the dominating trend I really thought the concept of censorship was settled as Bad Actually and Things Grossing You Out is in fact 100% a you problem but decades later it seems to be news to people

Figure I may as well spread the word on this as if there wasn't enough shit to worry about: They're trying to pass SOPA again under the guise of the BlockBEARD bill and some other bills.

This is what I had put at the very start and I will always say it with my chest out. I'm tired of this bullshit from these sites and if you are too, then let them know.

Defense of Itchio has gone fully into "How dare you queers not support the company delisting and with holding money from you, after all the support Itchio gave you!" And that support Itchio gave was just selling their products. I need ya'll to be serious.

Blue lizard gets petted :3 #rainworld

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment. If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business. Please continue making censorship unprofitable.
