#“i think x thing is weird/gross” doesnt need to equal “we have an obligation to excommunicate all of its participants out of society” (ToT)

As someone who practices kink on the side, I’m scared of getting thrown off the site even if I don’t break the rules. Because people just go “well obviously it’s ALL sexual” when they see the way I practice agere. How will you keep your site from mob mentality and becoming like twitter? How will you protect trans femmes and older queer people from getting targeted and attacked/reported? This is such a common issue In the tumblr and twitter agere communities

it's like this: i, and presumably my mods have a lot more urgent things to do than investigate everything every user does on other websites. i get similar questions to this pretty often: "i'm a furry, can i still join? i like xyz thing, can i still join?"

the definitive answer is as follows: my site is for ALL regressors. i personally can't care about the unrelated kinks and hobbies of every user. the rules of my site are (reductively) that you must be a regressor of some kind and that nothing on the site can be nsfw. if you want to know more about what's being defined as nsfw, feel free to check out the section about it on the survey results report! it's not a complete guideline, but it should give you an idea. wearing fursuits and reading weird e-rated fanfic is not on the list.

in summation: as long as you aren't being a jerk or a creep, i'm happy to say i don't care about what unrelated things you do behind closed doors (and not on my site).

also, as someone who hates twitter and the weird cancel culture digital lynchings it birthed: call-out posts on another user, sharing receipts, doxxing, and other attempts to get other users canceled or brigaded falls under my policy on harassment and will get someone banned. if anyone has a legitimate issue with another user, they should use the reporting feature to get in contact with a site mod or admin! :>
