Historically, NSFW creators and SWs are always the foundational users of any new social site, and historically, they're the first ones to get hidden/forced off once corporations start sniffin' around looking to make money. Use your dang moderation settings if NSFW bothers you and let folks be
porn prevented this app from becoming an nft trading hellhole like it was initially envisioned by jack dorsey. i'd rather it becomes the biggest safe space for sex workers on the internet
“keep the horny off this app”
how about stop showing up and hating on the sex workers here that were amongst the first to join the app, actually.
set your muted words and moderation preferences so you don’t see what you don’t want to but don’t try to bully them off bluesky

When you use the term(s) or phrase(s): “crib”, “the crib”, “at the crib” and so on, we want you to remember Black and Brown sex workers who worked “cribs”/“crib houses” back in the day
