Reposting this-- Bluesky hides NSFW posts from you by default so you'll miss my work if you don't turn it on:

SETTINGS > MODERATION> Set toggle to Enabled

✨ Also be sure to turn on "sexually suggestive (cartoon)" setting:

. @luxalptraum.com and @erikamoen.bsky.social made a comic for The Nib explaining the underlying barrier to NSFW content being hosted on major platforms: The Credit Card Companies. Read the much longer comic at thenib.com/payment-proc...
Text: At the core of the porn business is one very unsexy factor: if you want to make money selling naked photos, you need a way to get money from your customer's bank accounts to yours. Image: Two simple icons of banks, one labeled BUYER and the other SELLER, with an arrow going from BUYER to SELLER IMAGE: Drawing of a Visa credit card resting on top of a marionette control stick-thing with strings that connect to icons of Apple, PayPal, and Google. Text: Even services like PayPal or Apple Pay or Google Pay are really just a fancy way of using a credit card. And that gives credit card companies a tremendous amount of power. Image: An angry credit card stands on top of a blindfolded dollar bill. A human hand is recoiling from the credit card, which holds up a STOP hand (blocking the hand's attempted purchase), while the blindfolded dollar bill shrugs because it has no idea what it may have been used to buy. Text: Cash can't tell you what you can and can't use it for. But credit cards can. Lux Alptraum peeks behind a curtain that is labeled with icons for NO BLOOD, NO ALCOHOL, NO FISTING. On the other side is an angry credit card person with their arms crossed. Lux: Even payment processors that do work with porn- like CCBill and Epoch, for instance - have strict rules about what you can and can't sell. Ever wonder why there's not much period porn out there? Payment processors will drop you as a client if they learn that you're selling it. People don't usually talk openly about it, but if you scratch the surface it's pretty clear that at the root of all of this is Visa, Mastercard, and their distaste for adult content. Lux balances a personified credit card in one hand against a personified 18+ symbol that is posing for a sexy selfie as she says, "Read the rest of The Payment Processors vs. Porn by Lux Alptraum and Erika Moen https://thenib.com/payment-processors-vs-porn/

Yaay, PostyBirb supports BlueSky now! Made a little PostyBirb tutorial for any folks who feel they are in TOO MANY PLACES and want a neat scheduling program! I've been using it for several months so I'm used to it, but the UI can be confusing!

You can download PostyBirb here: www.postybirb.com
Screenshot of the main PostyBirb desktop with four arrows indicating the main areas I use: Accounts: Go here to connect all your accounts (these are the ones I have connected) Submissions > File: Use this when you want to post a picture Submissions > Notification: Use this when you want a plaintext post Templates > Tag Groups: Make a thing that has the groups of tags you like to use ("Sombulus, webcomics, spiderforest" might be an update group, for example) View of PostyBirb's File Submissions screen. Arrow indicate two areas: Top area: Click one of these things to get your pictures ready for a post to one or more platforms Bottom Area: Stuff that you have prepared but not posted yet will sit in a list down here Screenshot of Postybirb's File Submisson screen with arrows indicating different areas with Delphina's commentary: Additional files: Sometimes I do this but you don't have a lot of control over how it formats multiple pictures, so be careful here Schedule: Set a date it goes live (prescheduling my beloved <3) Title: This will automatically default to your file name, might want to change it Rating: Don't skip this! It won't post until you give it a rating! Tags: These tags will get tossed into the "tag" field of the platform if it has one Description: Text of your post (you can add links or formatting, but they might get changed or nuked depending on your platform's support. Experiment!) Websites: When you click here, anything you've successfully hooked up in the Accounts tab will appear! Every website will have a panel where you can tailor your content to the platform if you choose. You don't HAVE to touch them (unless there's a red error indicator) Screenshots of PostyBirb's Scheduled Submissions and Submissions Logs screens with Delphina's commentary: Scheduled: File Submissions scheduled tab my beloved <3 Pencil icon: Change the time Post now: Impatience button Edit: Wait I wanna say something else Unschedule: Go back to Submissions and think about what you've done Calendar: Month view of what's coming up! Logs: All the posts you've already made! Failed: Sometimes they fail if you get logged out somewhere Recreate Submission: If you're making nearly identical posts week after week to the same places with the same settings (like webcomic announcements), click this, go back to Submissions, edit the bits that need to change, and schedule again!)

A reminder to new/returning users:

IF YOU LIKE AN ARTISTS WORK, BOOST IT!

There isn't the same kind of algorithm as on Twitter. Engagement is the ONLY way to be seen and help the artists you love.

Boosts and comments help - liking custom feeds does, too!

Please talk to us! We LOVE comments!

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button.

Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm.

Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.

You can now create general User Lists!

For now, User Lists are public only. You can find them on your profile, and they’re shareable.

I made a cheat sheet for the Art Feeds hashtags because I don't even remember them all yet. 😅 You can get any post into a feed by adding tags in a reply. Good for when you forgot to tag or want to give someone else a boost! #art

I'm copying @geneljumalon.bsky.social 's Twitter post on this subject, but I made one for Bluesky because it's so important; these simple free actions are vital to an artist's success on this and any platform.
How to support an artist for free, comment, like, and repost. It helps us immensely.

Artists and art posters! Until we get a gallery tab, you can create a Feed (check my profile out) to show all of your posted art.

Step1: make sure you post your art with a keyword, emoji, or hashtag.
Step2: see quoted post below to create a Feed that looks for your own posts with the keyword.

Ripped this from FB because it perfectly describes my entire life,
A photo of a downspout that has a hole. The intact downspout represents an artist’s plans. The leak represents whoat they actually do. Th irony is the leak perfectly enters a crack in the downspout further down implying even though the artist’s work doesn’t follow the planned trajectory everything works out in this end.
