#PSA If your account is dedicated to posting *someone else's nude photos*, and they haven't given you explicit permission, then you're being a shitty human and your account should be reported and suspended. No profit from stolen nudes.

I pledge to help fill the gap left in the wake of all these reported accounts by posting my own locally-sourced, organic, free-range nudes, and I encourage others to do the same.

If you're a content creator, or just like posting your own spicy selfies, chime in. Let's work to keep Fedi safe for self-expression and sex work by driving out those who'd steal our work for their own ends.

Damn the bots, save the boobies! โœŠ

I used to post sexy nudes here on mastodon, but got basically no reactions or interaction ever, which makes sense - after all, how would anyone ever find my stuff among the deluge of bots reposting porn subreddits?

If I want to post nudes, the bots make it difficult for anyone to find me. If I want to find people, the bots make it hard to find anyone else.

So hear-hear, let's do this thing.

Illegal in many jurisdictions, as it counts as revenge porn, and depending on the severity? This is the kind of thing that might prompt me to send someone's account information to the police, because we do that if we see someone committing a serious crime... Which non-consensually posting someone's nudes would be.

And I'm saying this as someone who thinks we should get over this weird nudity taboo that showed up in the past couple centuries.

for real
Like if im ever doing something you think is shitty
Tell me what it was
Then block my ass
Not because I wont fix it. In fact I likely will immediately.
But you don't deserve that and im sorry in advance.

What is wrong with people...

I'm sure the only reason those accounts exist is just for a really cheap way to gain followers and engagement on their accounts, 'cause lots of people like porn and such and don't really care about who actually made it.

Question: Do we also report the accounts that are posting people's nude photos without any obvious consent but are at least crediting the creator (some people out there have really decisive opinions when it comes to that edge case)?

To the folx saying not to report the theft and nonconsentual reposting of other people's nudes because it might overwhelm moderators...

What do you think the moderation tools on Fedi are for if not for moderating?

I've suspended so many accounts and defederated numerous servers for things ranging from child porn to Nazis to transphobes and racism to death threats to just plain shitty behavior that was making Fedi worse for other users.

As a mod, it's my fucking job to moderate. It's what I signed up for. And I *heartily* thank anyone who submits a good report with notes so that I can swiftly determine what the issue was and take steps to make it better. Every account I investigate and end up suspending for some horrible thing makes Fedi a better place for everyone.

And if your server has so many actively shitty accounts that reports are overwhelming moderators, then your server has worse problems than the reports.

Speaking on behalf of what I can pretty much assume is all #moderators on Mainstream Fedi...

If you see someone posting someone else's nudes, and there is clear non-consent, please use the report button and give us anh evidence you have.

Never assume we don't have the time, as it is literally moderation's job to look through and respond to posts which may violate rules. TBH, stopping stuff like revenge porn is one of our higher priorities, and while I haven't seen anyone do that particular offense here, if someone did, it would not be the first time I have sent a dump of all our information on someone to the police. (Note that we only do that for serious crimes like selling CSAM stolen data, and revenge porn is illegal in a lot of jurisdictions)

That said, TechHub is one of a few servers where posting porn in general is not allowed (we're literally "Safe to look at in the Office"), so I don't think we'd even need evidence to ban.

Either way, when in doubt, just report.

I was a mod on a UK forum for about 10 years, then I was bumped up to admin, so I moderated the mods as well as dealing with legal issues

I did that for another 3 years

I remember the shock of seeing the unfiltered forum for the first time

I wouldn't do it again for a big clock

Some of the stuff mods have to deal with breaks you at times, it's just nasty

So even though you're not on my instance I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you for the work you do

in reply to ๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ป๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ…ฒ๐Ÿ…ด (๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„)

fun tip if people are bored and/or don't know how to help stem the tide:

Spend some time browsing your server (local) timeline. You'll find them soon enough, especially on the bigger instances. Report, block and move along.

Also, keep an eye on yourself. If you start feeling uncomfortable during this - stop. This is about making this a safe place for everyone and potentially traumatizing yourself is *not* the intention here.

Not reporting because it might overwhelm moderators will probably give more workload to the moderators afterwards, as bad behaviors will spread and be mimicked if left uncheckedโ€ฆ

Thank you for making the Fedi safer.

@lexinova If you think getting rid of accounts dedicated to posting copyrighted material, of people's naked bodies no less, is exhausting, you might be surprised how mentally taxing DMCA takedown or cease & desist letters can be.

When you think about it, moderating these accounts is just a way for server admins to protect themselves. There has to be just one creator with a decent lawyer and the will to litigate to ruin your whole week.

@lexinova @SleepyCatten
As someone who is heavily involved with moderation on several servers, I'm going to say, we would generally rather get a report about something we can't take action on than not get a report on something we can.

It's pretty easy to sift through reports to be honest, and checking them out is what we are volunteering to do. Honestly, we don't get enough of them. Personally, I'm very uncomfortable with the idea that someone might be posting that here, and would really like to get reports of that.

@lexinova That is straight up ridiculous. Reporting actual problems isn't "spam". If somebody can't handle the responsibilities of running an instance, they shouldn't be running an instance. But speaking from experience, Alice is right: the best way to keep moderation load low is to run a tight ship. And people who run tight ships are grateful for accurate reports.

There was an instance I'm struggling to remember the name of that was a sex work instance that went down, it was swarmed with those bots and it made me sad how many porn bots and humans there were doing exactly that. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
