Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.
I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.
Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.
For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.
Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.
Please don’t allow communities to ban sellers. I think not allowing advertising in the community itself makes sense. I shouldn’t get excluded for having a fan site though! It’s incredibly entitled to expect girls to post nudity with no way to profit off of it. Give the good talent a reason to post on this platform 💘💘💘
I think the admins are trying to take a hands off approach to this overall to allow individual communities to establish the spaces they want. However i just wanted you to know that from the admins ive talked to we do really appreciate content creators and will keep an eye on it. and there have been comments in this post stating “we should ban all only fans creators” which i atleast wouldnt consider, and i havent heard any on the admin team seriously consider it.
If we see alot of communities start banning content creators overall (not just banning advertising, but full on banning posts from people with a paid platform in their bio/etc) we will revisit it, and try to make sure the space is as creator friendly as possible, however to a certain degree i wonder if it will naturally sort itself out as without content creators they arent exactly going to have content to grow yknow ?
Are there coms that are bothering you currently ? (cant promise things will change, but its good for us to pay attention to)
It would be nice if this platform was supportive of consenual creators vs banning them and allowing others to post stolen content. I just wanna have my link 😅
I don’t have any grievances with this platform. I have problems with Reddit and I’m hoping the culture is more consensual here 🫶🫶🫶
I don’t think there’s any intention of banning creators at all. In fact I think we’re open to advertising yourself and linking your sites, as long as you’re not intrusive or spammy…
edit: I should also add that the community mods are the ultimate deciders over the advertising aspect.
I totally agree with you. OC/seller talent is always welcomed at communities I moderate (with the exception of ones that are strictly studios/sites focused).
IMO, Reddit (and the subreddits I mod) benefited so much from the creative sellers.
I appreciate that 💘 On Reddit, some mods banned me for having a link in my bio on my own page. That seemed over the top to me.
I fully support your right to promote and make a living with your content. But there must be the possibility for people to create coms exclusively for exhibitionists that like to post for the thrill of it. These people has as much right to have a platform as you have. Mods are also literally working for free to keep coms safe, on topic and legal. Everyone should feel welcome on this site. (as long as they are following the rules and laws, of course) Let’s find a way to exist well alongside each other. :)
I’ll just chime in to say that while I have no problems with sellers (and all the amazing sex workers out there!), so many of these communities seem to be nearly overrun with people marketing content. I just want to be able to know when people are selling, and choose that kind of content, when it appeals to me.
Specifically, there’s an entirely different feel to for-profit porn versus for-excitement porn, and I, for one, am hoping for a little more space being made specifically for people in it for the fun - I’m thinking like /r/NoFans and /r/normalnudes for example.
I’ve always advised OC sellers to stay away from those subreddits and mod teams that run those fiefdoms (and I’m sure the same division lines will emerge here on Lemmy).
There are/will be many other welcoming places where you will be appreciated. And you can always create new vibrant communities yourself)
That’s fair. I read your site rules and I appreciate the emphasis on consent. I guess it was alarming to me to see that as a growing trend on Reddit & Reddit culture
Thats definitly over the top, while i dont think its what your concerned about, @Pornonmain’s response is one of the reasons the admin team is avoiding a blanket ban on the ban. just for coms that are focused around spur of the moment content, or amatuer content. i dont think generic coms like boobs or ass should be baning content creators outright, especially those not advertising in their posts
I replied deeper, but I’ll also put it here:

That makes sense! I agree that spammy content is a major turn off. I just want to be able to have a link in my bio 😅😅😅 I know advertising in the community itself is not it unless it’s designed for that. I guess mods have the say, so hopefully mods don’t ban girls for having a link on their own page like some did on Reddit
Ya I hope that’s not an issue. I think as the instance grows and people find “loopholes” to exploit, the issue becomes a balancing act of “how much moderation and manual effort does this rule require” - ideally we can build the tools necessary to make rules easily enforceable without being overly restrictive. Time will tell.
I mean ultimately, the goal is to provide a space that gives creators like you a good outlet to share your content without burdening remote instances with the overhead and complexities that adult content brings. We’re not here to make money, we’re out here trying to make the fediverse a better place overall so that creators like you aren’t beholden to corporations like reddit.
I guess we’ll see if we succeed or fail!
Makes sense!! I understand you guys are brand new and need to work out a lot. As a creator, I’m trying to find places to post that won’t delete my account like the bigger sites and apps. It is awful to constantly get my accounts deleted. I’m willing to be patient with a platform that could have more longevity and won’t delete me just because I do adult work
