StarTrek #AdAstraperAspera #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds Was incredible!
I feel like I've been hit by a shuttle.

My favorite thing so far about "Ad Astra per Aspera" so far is that people are interpreting the episode in different ways for themselves, but they are all positive.
That, and Spock's unhinged outburst. Ethan Peck has really come into his own. #StarTrek #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

Courtney Milan and Olivia Waite's questions about this site's TOS are valid. I would love to feel comfortable posting snippets of my work or discussing scenes where intimacy is a significant factor in moving a story forward.

The responses to the concerns about Spoutible’s content policy are evenly split between “OBVIOUSLY romance authors aren’t in violation, quit being hysterical” and “We don’t want smut-peddlers here, get your own app!” The policy is so vague even its defenders can’t agree on what it means.

In response to Zinnia Z.
This platform has been delightfully devoid of right-wing nonsense thus far, and I would also love for it to succeed, but it has been very disappointing to see respected authors and reviewers treated as trolls for raising concerns about moderation policies.

Transphobia is exhausting, and is rooted in the same system that hates women. If you say you care about the rights of women and girls, you also have to care about trans and non-binary folk. Just like you can’t fight for the rights of Black people without including Black trans people.

I really don’t know if there is a solution to section 230 regarding website immunity unless done by size of the website, maybe.
Too strict, and every little website who can’t moderate will die before they start.
Too open, and you have crazy people doing awful things and no one knows what truth is

Thoughts on the Bouzy Twitter space meeting:
Chris is legit trying to do the right things.
There is still a lot of ambiguity in the TOS, unknown if that will be resolved.
App and translations coming soon.
Still some people weirdly defensive of and reverential to the CEO for being the CEO

If you build a fortress and invite the townspeople in, and some of them point out that there are some noticeable gaps in the walls, it's probably better to fix the walls rather than insist the walls are fine, the people who see gaps are trolls, and they should go back outside.

The amount of Mean Girls type responses on both sides of this debate both here and on the other site is disheartening. People just looking for yet more excuses to other the people they don't like, to build an us vs. them narrative for Reasons™.

President Biden an 80 yr old man took a 7hr flight & a 10hr train ride into an active war zone w/ no US military presence, walked around Kyiv w/ air raid sirens blaring for a mtg w/ Zelensky & is now going to 🇵🇱 for an Eastern Flank summit.

Jesus had a whole lot more solidarity with Sex Workers than most modern Christians seem to be able to manage, that's for sure.

Some people won't be happy until this site is nothing more than a handful of people sharing Biden memes and saying "this is such a great site, now that Those People are finally gone".
The Internet is a big and messy place. Disagreements happen. Different opinions exist. We need to deal with that.

Just want to put this out there to romance writers, SWs, and anyone else who creates "adult content": You matter. Your work matters. Your ability to make a living matters. You deserve access to safe social networks. #SexWorkIsWork , and its a shame that, for now, Spoutible is a hostile place for you.

I'm seeing an alarming growth in polarization, division and rudeness over the #SexWorkIsWork debate here. It's not comforting at all. How can this platform be inclusive while basically telling some to f*ck off if they don't like it here? Yes, obey the rules, but don't be rude to each other.

Where Are They Now? Star Trek: Picard Edition
As excitement ramps up for the premiere of Star Trek: Picard’s third season, we’re preparing ourselves emotionally to see characters that haven’t been on our screens in a very long time. It’s a big deal to see so many favorites from Star Trek: The Next Generation again.

I hope this can be revisited -- along with some clarity about what's considered "adult content." Give us the option to decide for ourselves. #SupportSexWorkers #SexWorkIsWork
Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyI asked the Spoutible community about adult content on this platform, and the users overwhelmingly said they didn't want it.09:36 PM - Feb 14, 2023

In response to Skeeter Atreides.
@cbouzy - when you finally come up for air, this is a social justice issue that needs some attention. Sexworkers have rights, and most places won't even allow them to exist if they talk about their lives. And there are organized groups of incels dedicated to deplatforming them everywhere.
