unftly this part: 'Your Contributions are not obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable (as determined by us)' is a big red flag for me. saying that 'we don't allow obscenity, and we get to decide what is obscene' comes off as a classic conservative cover-your-ass line even if the staff of comradery don't intend it that way ): shame bc otherwise this website did seem promising

as of the last conversation my partner had with co-op leadership, comradery does NOT support adult work. our understanding is the hope is to support it in the future if they can find a payment processor to work with that won't yank support from the entire site or force them to selectively ban people, but I don't think there's been much movement on that front yet, unfortunately. this may have changed, I think it's been about a year since she checked in on that issue, but at that time things were still on hold.

urghhh that sucks. really looking forward to eggbux being implemented on this site next yr so collectively we can get a tip jar option checking both the 'porn friendly' and 'fash unfriendly' boxes

That's another reason shit like this is awful. People often respond to frustrations over this with, "well just find another platform, it's a free market."

The problem is when there's one dominant platform that takes a lot of resources to run, you often turn into the place people go when they get kicked out of the mainstream site. Reddit has Voat, Twitch has Odyssey, etc. So you get people forced to share a space with people who are hostile or otherwise just uneasy being around.

being honest i'm not sure i understand what you mean by SEO crater, but when i say mailing list i'm not referring to physical snail mail - having an email list/newsletter via a service like buttondown or substack is so that you are able to directly send people updates via email while being less tethered to a single website. it's not perfect but it creates an extra layer of safety net so that if, for example, your account on one site was spontaneously frozen and you were not allowed to post there, you could still get in touch with your followers to say 'hello i am on xyz site now' instead of being totally cut off. it's also a useful way to contact fans without asking them to create an account on anything i.e. if you're a tattoo artist who wants to put out a bulletin about open bookings

with all due respect, i'm not in control of what website some trans gay stranger from the netherlands jumped to. i included the link because i would feel weird making a big talky post about my anger at an artist losing his paycheck overnight without also sharing ways to help him.

twitter is, charitably speaking, being sucked to death by several million fascist deer ticks. i'm asking you this as a genuine question, not to be a dick or be confrontational - by using twitter, am i falling into the same category as people on subscribestar, client or creator? i don't like that subscribestar allows far right extremists to make money, but there's fascists on patreon too. twitter paid out 20 thousand dollars to andrew tate this year for ad revenue, red scare is making 55 grand a month on patreon. i don't even rely on twitter to pay bills, it's just where some of my friends still hang out.

i, personally, do not maintain a creator account on subscribestar or patreon because i would rather hold out until i can develop a platform on cohost, which i have more trust in - but not everyone has that luxury. there aren't really good, secure options available for adult artists to jump on at present, that's part of why i am so frustrated and angry.
