This place is probably not for me.
It's boring, stale, and puritanical. It's a place for liberals to post their tired memes and their useless platitudes and pat themselves on the back for being good people while not actually working for any societal change.
And today made it clear that's the goal.

Welp, I guess I'm probably outta here, based on the reprehensibly vague TOS surrounding explicit content (and the reprehensibly dismissive response to user concerns relating thereto). Dammit. I had high hopes for this platform.

I had been excitedly telling people about Spoutible since I pre-registered as soon as the idea was launched. But this is embarrassing. Not only is the policy wrong, but these responses lack a certain kind of calm steadiness at the wheel that a site like this would need to mature and survive. ☹️

Literally a response to someone who reviews books in the New York Times. That’s where we are with this policy.
It would be nice to be able to post links to a New York Times book review of a romance novel.

Nana of the Shire @Sunshines_HeartI’m sorry you feel this is a place to discuss issues related to your “work” that some of us who prefer to keep our phones and devices family friendly find unsafe. I’m a first waver who voted against porn on this site. My grandchildren often play with my phone. Nothing personal to you or anyone.03:36 PM - Feb 19, 2023

Peace out, y'all. I'm not on this platform anymore.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyNo, but @courtneymilan is more than welcome to start a social media platform and write the terms of service and policies however she likes. But the policy isn't changing, nor is it being rewritten. Spoutible will not please everyone, but thankfully there are other options for those who aren't happy.05:49 PM - Feb 19, 2023

Nothing in the policy prohibits directly advertising sex, as long as you are not sexually explicit or suggestive in doing so.

One of my favorite accounts on the bird site is Whores of Yore that looks at sex historically. Bums me out that discourse like that won’t be allowed. ☹️
12:47 PM - Feb 19, 2023
All I’m asking people to understand is that you can prohibit adult content with clear language where the answer to someone’s question of “can I post this?” is not “just post it and see if you end up getting banned!”
12:45 PM - Feb 19, 2023
And like, this: “Exceptions may be made for medical, health, educational or artistic content.”
Is not good language. The proper language starts with “nothing in this policy prevents discussion of ___” and the list has to be longer.

Whatever you think of adult content on this site directly, this is not good language, it’s not good policy, and it is extremely fixable. @cbouzy I am happy to help try to come up with a policy that provides clear guidance, meets general aims of external bodies, while preserving necessary discussion.
11:55 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I don’t think the people who wrote the policy thought about the ways people talk about sex. Are we are going to argue whether HBO’s GOT is more rapey than the book series? Are we gonna discuss if that one sex scene in Bridgerton is a rape? Can I screenshot a court case about harassment?
11:51 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Y’all please don’t tell people who are wondering whether this site is going to pull a Tumblr and make it impossible to talk about the thing they do for a living that they’re “just getting mad” because we “want to make controversy.”
No. We’re trying to figure out if we want to invest time here.

I don’t think it is possible for a social media app to be run by someone with thin skin. This is exactly one of the reasons Twitter is tanking—because for Elon, it’s all about ego.
08:13 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I do like the vibes on Spoutible, but I am not yet 100% convinced. For me, time is going to do the convincing.
Going from 1000 Twitter followers to 50,000 Twitter followers is where you begin to learn how Twitter sucks.

Just to be clear: I’m pretty sure that posting links to romance novels that contain sex scenes violates this policy.
09:17 AM - Feb 19, 2023
Let me be clear. I don’t think kids should be on social media. But I also think that’s a decision for the parents of the child to make and not the job of the federal government. I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy.

Dom Dotta @SkeezyThe same people that say “the criminals will find a way to get a gun. No law would have prevented this” are now thinking that making laws will stop kids from making Social Media accounts. Make it make sense.04:14 PM - Feb 15, 2023![Picture]()

Sadly, today. Mothers, Fathers. Sisters, Brothers, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Grandparents and Friends will wake up to having lost a loved one to senseless gun violence. And while we grieve our loss Republicans mock it with A.R 15 pins. Fuck all of them and Fuck their thoughts and prayers. #MSU

Congrats! I played it through twice but didn't manage the platinum. Fantastic game and probably my favorite of the last few years.
