Some in the naked social media community would like to imply that unless someone is posting naked pics of themselves so people can "know" who they are they can’t be trusted. This is yet another effort to promote brand personas not by innovating or sharing new ideas but by discrediting others. I understand this about trust. It is earned not given so I earn the trust of the almost 3000 followers on BlueSky almost 9000 on IG 22, 000 weekly visitors to our Reddit community and our curated community across the Fediverse every day by being consistent.
The values that drive what is done are reflected in what I post, who I collab with and how I interact with others. I am not perfect but I don’t claim to be ethical then behave unethical by spreading lies and information. I don’t claim to value other naturists equally then steal their ideas and call them my own. I repeat it often. I value the human in a naked body so I am interested in more than their nakedness and pics of their nakedness. I am interested in their health and well being, their safety and security. So I inquire about my naturist friend in Ukraine, who has to go to bed at night know there is not room in the bomb shelters for him. I share my concern for followers, health and well being if I learn they are unwell or struggling through challenges. I recognize the humanity of everyone even of those who don’t agree with me, rather than doxxing them to promote my podcast. I listen with compassionate ears and ask questions even when someone doesn’t agree with me. I share interests in music, art philosophy, yoga and more.
I reject the notion that trustworthiness online is based on personal information and sharing photos. The people who think this way are mainly naked content creators who themselves are creating persona for consumption. Many prolific but dangerous people post on the internet behind fake accounts. I am not in the business of social media content creation. The purpose of my efforts if anyone cared to learn (apparently they don’t) is all over our web sites. I am working not to promote a brand but to amplify a renewed naturist movement called nu Gymnosphy that with cultivate and support a naturist social project like that proposed by Marc Alain Descamps.
Issues of trust and authenticity get raised not be there is really interest in learning who I am but to disparage discount and distract. In order to promote their brands they as do we really know who this person is? They ask. Ignoring the fact that some of the great writers of human history went by pseudonyms. Can they be trusted?
What these people fail to disclose is they never bothered to ask about me, my ups and don’t and real life. As I shared with someone who asked recently I probably have over 7000 photos of my naturist life. But don’t feel the need to commodify them because they are for me, to remember and reflect not to promote a brand. Despite that if anyone bother to explore the over a decades worth of information and experience already online they could easily get a picture of the human being. But that is not the purpose so they don’t bother to mention that when something of my background and lived experience was shared it was summarily dismissed as competitive. That says more about them than I ever could. How can a person's lived reality be competitive? That sound so uninclusive.
Well since I am in the process am in the process of working on the next iteration of the Clothes Free Life online presence including developing our presence in the Fediverse this a good time to share a bit more but on my terms, as is the privilege off every other individual online. In the month of August I will hosting an AMA on our Fluxer community as well a several GRWM and DITL live streams. Anyone interested can join our Fluxer community and get verified to participate. Here is a link to share with anyone who is interested. Details on days and time will be coming
