Please remove all that crap about censoring fictional content, real stuff is fine, for artistic depictions of shit SHOULD be allowed, remove it otherwise this would be just worse twitter.

Users should never be required to verify their ages or be forced to hand over sensitive personally identifiable information (such as scanning a driver’s licence) in order to have an account here

Everything regulating art and fictional content should be removed. It will be used to censor queer art and healthy sexual expression. It must go if you want to have a platform people can trust in using.

corpos just use us to get their early numbers, then throw us under the bus later. we need BUFU fediverse instances instead. bsky was always going to be temporary

It felt like we were finally among other adults who have a grown up attitude towards art, sex and critical thinking.

Yes, one of the things I really appreciate about bluesky is that they let NSFW art be a thing and that sex workers were able to build a community here. I liked the sex neutral stance off it all

The reason we came here was this site being normal about nsfw content and queer people. If you follow the tumblr route and cater to puritans I’m going to leave this site and many others will do the same.

The new community guidelines are highly censorious. You should be concerned about user drop off if these rules do apply. Can you please amend your community guidelines to allow role playing, creative/artistic expression and remove anything about “promoting unsafe behavior?” Intent is not obvious.

Immigrants have had posts hidden by moderation in replies to politicians who are throwing us under the bus. Palestinian accounts, verified real people, are deleted almost instantly while the people who call them subhuman are allowed to proliferate.

The community guidelines apparently only apply to some and not to others. Trans people have regularly been marked as rude for standing up to bigots, while the bigots go unchecked.

if things keep on going in this direction I wish bluesky a very unprofitable like tumblr

it pisses me off because it's always like this. they build something on our backs and then try to gradually discard us when they think they don't need us anymore.

Fiction allows people to explore themes without risking actual people. If you want to blur lines and make arbitrary exceptions, then commit to it. If a drawing of assault is the same as actual assault to you, then go petition for horror directors to be arrested for murder, see if it holds up.

A subject I think makes my stance clear could be seen with R18G, or "EroGuro" content. I personally don't care for it, but it has the right to exist. I want it to exist. I know lovely kind supportive people who enjoy it. I have seen many interesting settings and games with it as a focus.

The minute you conflate a "vulgar" drawing with the gravity of a real crime you give entities the ability to control and restrict whatever they want with twisted word and false guises of protection.

moreover, The minute you assume someone's art is their face value, you erase the depth of a person.
