hey if youre in florida and calling your reps, this is something worth bringing up! Tell your reps you think this online ID verification shit is fucking stupid!!!!

this infographic is a lil older, but if you still have energy for calling paypros, its absolutely still worth it to do so!

I don't see much chance of this passing as written but important to to know what they're trying to do to take away your rights and control your life. And the people who push bills like this don't go away. They come back again and again with more "reasonable" bills to chip away at your Liberty,

remember! you arent calling representatives to change hearts and minds, youre calling in order to INTIMIDATE them through sheer numbers into backing down on dumbass censorship bills. politician's aides literally give them a spreadsheet on how many constituents call to oppose/support bills.

Spread this info around and call your reps! Each of these bills pose serious danger to our freedom of speech, and we won't let that happen! This infographic should be helpful to you when contacting them. Your voice can make a difference. #SaveSpeech

This thread is eloquently put. If you're torn on the new TOS & why censoring any kind of fiction is bad in the current political climate, read this. I say this as a CSA survivor who has been in therapy for 5 years: it's up to us to curate our own spaces. Censorship leads to fascism.

EU folks! Contact your MEPs and denand they oppose Chat Control! The link below has a section that lets you find your MEP! fightchatcontrol.eu#member-states

Any danish people on the line? This "Citizen Suggestion" against ChatControl; surveillance, breaking encryption etc. now has over 34K signers and more incoming. And it could use your voice. Please spread & share it to your network to let danish people know.

Always see people post about how problematic fiction and fetish content is a good coping/healing device, which is cool but uh. It doesn't need to be? We aren't trying to justify hyper violent torture scenes, violent metal lyrics, or showing autopsies on tv. Why does porn need a justification?

Hey, trying to explain Online Censorship to people who arent in the nsfw scene or who arent as online as you are, and need some help? This video is actually a really great primer on the current situation, and why we have to develop an absolutist stance on free speech for EVERYONE's sake.

If you're screaming about TOS changes and haven't screamed into the feedback form yet, you should do that!

Been talking to people quite a bit about how it's easy to understand "cancel Disney+!" but harder to understand the initial and bigger problem is with Nexstar and Sinclair, so lemme make it easier. Find your local Nexstar channel Find your local Sinclair channel

New TOS censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists. Everyone is telling you a much healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

Yeah, holy shit. I just checked, mine and @shaxbert.bsky.social 's comments calling them out- which have 2.6k and 1.6k likes respectively, are just fucking GONE. Can't even find them by scrolling down anymore, they straight up 'hid' them. Fucking cowards. bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you think its good that noncon stuff gets censored. Worry not. Your fluff will be next. Followed by lgbtq writing. And your favorite tv shows and games right afterwards. Google the term "Entartete Kunst" if you are curious, cause this shit happened like 80ish years ago already once

Nah. Dont suddenly go back to renewing your subscriptions or holidays. Stand up to fascism all the way. Including those who bend to it.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

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!

Suprise! Ferociously anti-trans gubernatorial candidate in WI following trans porn accounts since 2018. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Instead of participating in #blueskyblackout2025 and self-censoring, you can show your solidarity by, yknow, making noise. Hit that feedback button! Bring up the bullshit rules about fictional characters! Don't rebel against being told to be quiet by complying. That makes no sense!

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Every fucking time

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy. I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

as silly as Jimmy Kimmel of all people getting some folks to dip their toes into direct action, this is an opportunity we can take advantage of. have some family you want to reach re: censorship online, and you see them responding positively to the kimmel situation? Use this as an opening!

A THOUDAND times this. Burning the energy on just mass protesting means absolutely nothing if you DON'T FOCUS IT ON NERVES THAT HURT THE ENEMY. Determining what those nerves are is one of the most important tasks, for companies its usually their advertisers.

Adding to this; it doesn’t really matter what form that pushback takes as long as that pushback can inflict consequences. Without consequences, any form of resistance is ineffective. Do what you can, when you can, and make it hurt.

Internalize this. Absorb it into your very being. Cooperating, organizing, and coordinating resistance is NOT a meaningless cause. They just want you to believe it is. Because the second we come together, they *tear* like paper upon us.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts. www.michiganvotes.org/legislators www.congress.gov/members/find...

Quick script I came up with for Michigan residents like myself. full text in the alt text Fucking hate living in current times in this country.

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!

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

There is a direct, traceable path from major social media sites & wide use websites introducing (or being forced into) censorious anti-NSFW policies to larger scale state censorship, like Michigan attempting to label Trans existence as porn, and porn as criminal. Lives and livelihoods are at stake.

This just shows how censoring fictional "noncon" is stupid. I, the artist, just decided that the friends are consenting to seeing this, and it was actually just a roleplay all along. No damage done, because they are not real people, I invented them and I can tell what they are feeling or not. PERIOD

App reviews of 1 star over mass censorship issues feels like a very proportional response. The dream of these people is to make a “sellable” product out of Bluesky, and if you want to reduce that potential value, mass app reviews with filled out critical comments is the way to go.

My universe, the dungeon, is an inherently consensual place. Everyone consents before joining, everyone can leave the dungeon at any time if they wish. They just have rough otherworldly fictional sex. Everyone shown is into it though. Tears don’t mean it sucks. Tears mean emotion.

Do NOT do this. Shout louder. Me and all the other nsfw artists need you to shout louder

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite
