Wow. I am now *blocked* from seeing @cbouzy 's posts due to having expressed my concern and dissapointment over the ban on "adult content".
I don't think I was being rude or out of line. This doesn't feel very good.

@cbouzy and all of us have the right to block whomever, for any reason. If you want to see porn, go to Xitter
01:19 PM - Aug 05, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Mr. Bouzy, or anyone, can block whoever we please for no reason at all.
The fact that you want to impose your desires for porn on the rest of us is not OK. A majority of users of this site have said we don't want "adult content," so Mr. Bouzy said that is the policy.

Why are you so opposed to those of us who are fed up with ugliness to having this ONE safe space?
If you want adult content ther are sooooo many other places to go.
ONE SAFE SPACE...IS THAT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK?

We don't live in a "safe" world. This platform exists so you can say what you want without getting trolled, bullied or attacked. It exists so you can post without hate speech. I guess i missed the memo where my fragile sensitivities trump someone else's existence here.

he didn't ban you from the platform or kick you out.
it's his personal account, it's his choice on who he lets into his personal space. I treat my SM as my front porch and I'm very particular who I let step up.

You're not wrong, but if that's the way its going to be, he should really release official announcements through the Spoutible account and not his personal one.

Adults don't need the content you crave John. Nobody does. Topics of community interest here are about democracy not anatomy so much.🐳

His playpen His time, money and effort to build the platform. As I tell my grandkids my house my rules. This isn’t the only social media platform find one that suits you. Did you ever tell Musk or Mark Zuckerberg how to run Facebook or Instagram? They wouldn’t give you the time of day

So no one is to ever question Dear Leader under threat of banishment or excommunication? Got it.

Yes!!! This is how to discuss an issue in a healthy way! Proud of you all.

In response to John Muller.
He engaged regarding the policy but you all keep arguing.
12:29 PM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to Julia Jackson.
Who is arguing? He said "this is the rule and it's not going to change", then I said "I am dissapointed", and was blocked and had my reply deleted. I'd call that rather excessive.
12:42 PM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Maybe on Sunday mornings or any morning or any time of day people just don't have to worry about people crying about missing out on adult content.
12:20 PM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Not sure why you're upset. It's in the rules that you agreed to when you signed up for an account. https://help.spoutible.com...

In response to John Muller.
The guy doesn't want "adult content" on his platform. Done. Simple. Plain as that. It's no different than movie ratings. If he wants it to be PG-13, then that is the end of it.
12:03 PM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to Keep On Kraken.
The community didn't want that content. He asked, the community voted not to allow that content. He's just enforcing those rules.
05:28 AM - Jul 21, 2023
In response to John Muller.
If you think any platform is a democracy, you're misinformed. There is always one person who can make (or change) the policies/rules.

No kidding, look at twitter and the directions Musk took

just gonna step in gently and offer an activist, on the bird, and her professional link, not on the bird -- for your consideration as a contact. hope it's of interest; she's widely known and appreciated.

Oh yes! I follow that account on birdsite. Very interesting and informative. That's the sort of stuff we are missing out on here with a blanket adult content ban.
12:00 PM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Personally I don't want adult content on here. I've enjoyed your spouts and engagement and I don't care what two consenting adults do as long as no one gets hurt BUT there are other sites for that. I'm no prude. Sex workers provide a service as old as time. I stand with @cbouzy on this matter. Peace

People linking to their OFs shouldn't be banned. Twitter worked just fine before Musk in regards to sexual content.
10:55 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to Bev Turner.
That's mostly all I'm getting on Twitter at the moment. All blocked. Most are probably bots. Not interested.
11:56 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Agree blocking disagreements seems extreme. I guess for better or worse Chris bouzy is the Elon musk of spoutible. He owns the platform and can do whatever he wants. Blocking “trolls” (or ppl who disagree w you) seems like a major motivation for platform.
10:30 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to Stephen Henry.
Yeah this feels like yet another reason why social networks really shouldn't be a top-down structure essentially governed according to the whims of one person.
10:35 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Sex workers ARE welcome on Spoutible. Their work isn’t.
10:30 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to The Wendy Lady.
Yep. I already spouted to him about this but you said it much more eloquently.
11:50 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to The Wendy Lady.
Conducting their work isn’t. How about discussing the social, political, legal issues around their work?
11:58 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
Based on the total conversation, it’s a policy because Google/Apple and the like have restrictions and won’t support the app if it allows adult content-aka porn. Your failure to respect the “No”, while I wouldn’t answer-he gets to choose the block. But your not censored-obviously others see your 🐳
10:25 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to Karen Monroy.
He is now unable to reply to cbouzy's spout on the topic where the conversation is happening, *and* cbouzy's account is where all of the spoutible updates are posted.
10:27 AM - Feb 19, 2023
In response to John Muller.
This is of some concern to me.
That's not a million miles away from Musk being a one man in control.
It matches what was being warned about.
It wouldn't be so bad, but all updates and work also come from the account too.
Major red flag for me, & seriously going to affect how I interact & promote.

Not wanting the content is fine, prob agree.
Albeit, the decision was from a miniscule survey.
I happened to do another survey, that may have more responses. 💁
But blocking someone for the merest of querying is a whole different thing. 🚩

Excessive action on his part and very "Because I said so..." Disappointing to say the very least.

Yep, blocked me too. No more updates. No more discussion about official Spoutible decisions. It really makes me question what this platform will become.
