The amount of people I see on here who are demonizing sex workers makes me question what this place will become. It's the same type of language I see used against me as a trans woman. Sex workers aren't your enemy. #SexWorkIsWork

For a site founded to be a "less toxic" social media alternative, I'm already seeing a lot of "if you don't like it leave" directed at lgbtq+ folks simply asking questions. That's not how you build a real, lasting community. My $.02

So #FirstWaveSpoutible confession and this might be 1 of ?: I voted to not have "adult content" on #Spoutible without thinking things through and I bet I am not the only one. I voted that way because I knew exactly what I mean by "adult content" without remembering that isn't universally agreed 1/?

It depends on your goals and the relationship you have to the personal you're talking to, honestly. Also I can't reply to your spouts for some reason.

Richard Allaire @gtrman5150How do you initiate conversations with people who have drastically different views? I tend to get stressed and snarky which doesn’t help at all. I get so alarmed at the ignorance and I need techniques to help if you all have any advice.01:43 PM - Feb 19, 2023

In response to blaze mason.
Two of the people discussing it today have already been banned. This is what happens when a space is set up and pre ordained for the “norms” of straight/hetero behavior. Many LGBTQ people who have seen this many times before, myself included, brought this up from Day 1.

I think my notifications have entirely broken now lol. I keep getting alerts but see nothing new.
01:40 PM - Feb 19, 2023
Silver linings, I'm not blocked by bouzy anymore?
01:28 PM - Feb 19, 2023
For those of you wanting to "move on" from the discussion about site policies relating to adult content, I hope you remember that SW and LGBTQ+ people don't get to just "move on" from a society that still marginalizes or rejects them every day. Please don't do that to them here.
01:17 PM - Feb 19, 2023
Within a day of advocating for trans sex workers on here, I had transphobia thrown at me and I was banned. I absolutely do not feel supported here.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzySpoutible supports the LGBTQ+ community, and several transgender accounts have spouted pictures documenting their transition process without issue. That has nothing to do with porn.12:47 PM - Feb 19, 2023

Spoutible banning folks advocating for sex workers and how this site's policy hurts them. Me and one other person are now banned for violating rules (none listed), and we've both been sharing spouts. Right before I was banned I had transphobia spread about me. Cool site. (Glitch let me see timeline)
12:42 PM - Feb 19, 2023
(Edited)
Don't know if the quote spout will show here, but this was about me. No surprise that the people supporting the adult content ban are also transphobic as fuck. (Note: Frank is not the transphobic one. Its the person they quote tweeted)

Bun the Franky @ZomBunnyFrankNo idea who this is about or in what context, but my non-binary child and I would appreciate it if you didn't treat pronouns as dehumanizing insults because someone pissed you off.12:14 PM - Feb 19, 2023

Lmao, not surprised at all. "Who cares about the younger generations if they disagree with me?"

Suzanne JaaaNONYA @WWAmplifyingBWBuncha bullshit, I agree.11:52 AM - Feb 19, 2023
#idgaf if #GenZ is on #Spoutible asap.
They don’t know shit about #Politics or #economics for the most part, so I’m fine without their two cents *right now*
Like you said, getting GOOD #journalists #politicians & even celebs is much more important right now.
12:05 PM - Feb 19, 2023
Shoutout to sleepysnorlax for being so on top of it with amplifying voices about this adult content ban.
12:04 PM - Feb 19, 2023
It bans linking to sexual content, and it also bans all "sexually suggestive" content, so they can't even reference their OF, let alone link to it. I need to quote tweet you because cbouzy has blocked me, so I can't respond to this comment thread.

Shane Holmberg @ShaneHolmbergNo social media allows OF content directly. Instead people post links to those pages. Unless I missed it, the rules didn't forbid saying "here is a link to my OF, please check it out".10:29 AM - Feb 19, 2023
10:32 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I need to quote spout you because the owner has blocked me, so I can no longer reply to any of the spouts in his comment chain. Since he said that the policy will not be revisited, and didn't say "we don't have the resources to moderate sex content right now", I'm right to be untrusting.

Suzanne JaaaNONYA @WWAmplifyingBWYes I did read the guidelines which is why I’m assuming you’re interpreting them in the strictest sense, which is, I assume, NOT how reality will actually unfold.08:46 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Like you said, the policy is “unclear” - which, to me, means you’re assuming the worst possible scenario 19 days into #Spoutible
10:01 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Considering I can no longer reply to you in cbouzy's thread because he blocked me, I think it's fair to assume over-zealous moderation. He also specifically stated that the policy won't be revisited, and it's been pointed out that it's a broad policy.

A.C. Berryhill @AC_BerryhillOnly if you assume over-zealous moderators, which I don’t think it’s fair to assume here as everything I’ve seen posted in connection with the policy has made it clear its goal is to prevent unwelcome or abusive content. That specific language is necessary to bar sexual harassment.08:49 AM - Feb 19, 2023
09:59 AM - Feb 19, 2023
FB because they enable genocide, Insta increases self harm rates of teenage girls, and it's laughable to think Snapchat isn't used for sex content. Also "we don't have enough resources to moderate sexual content right now" and "we will not be revisiting this policy" are two different things.

Jill Baker @JBaker4So have you complained to Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram because they have this standard? Why do they not allow it? Is it because some take it too far to promote their OnlyFans or porn sites? Spoutible set this limit for a reason. It's too difficult to moderate adult content on a large SMS. It's09:00 AM - Feb 19, 2023
09:57 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Funny you say he isn't stopping discussion about this. I need to quote tweet you because he has blocked me, so I cannot reply to any spout in a thread of his. And there is a difference between "we can't pay for moderation now" and "the policy will not be revisited".
![]()
Truthofthesoul @TruthofthesoulAlternative doesn’t mean the same platform. As a new platform he doesn’t have to pay for the moderation that is required for such content. He is isn’t stopping discussions of sex work or the sex positive movement. The entitlement is a trip. 🤔09:10 AM - Feb 19, 2023
09:56 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I'm glad you don't need social media to make a living. You're lucky. There are many sex workers that do the job because they need to do the job, and banning their livelihood just discriminates against them.
09:55 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I can't reply to you because I've been blocker by cbouzy. I'm not implying that, and this is a bad faith argument without a doubt. **I'm a trans woman**. I'm sharing the lived reality of many trans people that have been discriminated out of the work place and use sex work to make their living.
![]()
SusiAnsujali @SusiAnsujaliAre you implying all trans people are sex workers and no trans person could interact here on Spoutible without posting adult content? 👀09:46 AM - Feb 19, 2023
“the trans community” cannot exist without shlongs and graphic sex acts?
Srly folks, don’t make this policy about sex workers or trans people. It’s bullshit.
09:54 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Oh. I think I understand now. Because @cbouzy blocked me, I can no longer reply to anyone in the comment chain of his initial post. Cool cool.
09:44 AM - Feb 19, 2023
And the owner of this platform has blocked me for advocating for sex workers and questioning his policies. Cool. I only directly @'d him twice, because I was directly referencing his words. Edit: This also means I can never see any of his spouts.
09:12 AM - Feb 19, 2023
(Edited)
I don't know what's going on, but I can't reply to anyone replying to me. I continue to get an error. Is this an automated spam filter or something? I'm getting a lot of responses that I'm trying to reply to.

@hopemorningstar I had Batwoman from your cover art as a pfp for a looong time. I love that cover art. (Would've DM'd you but DMs aren't woring for me.)

I don't know the etiquette for sharing tweets here, but this feels important enough to share. There's an ecological disaster happening in the surrounding area. It's unthinkable how bad this is.
