also on the lookout for an alternative to my adult industry/xxx Twitter account. while I have never tried to sell my work and services to my fandom peeps, I still miss having good conversations without all of the hateful stuff that I have to deal with over on Twitter
if anyone has some recommendations for Mastodon instances which are #Sexworker #nudity #petplay #fetish / #kink / #bondage or #sex friendly... Id like to know.
@Catwoman69y2k If you end up teaming with a group of SW's who have combined buying power you might be able to arrange a private instance to be set up with mastodon that could have special protections for your needs. For example you could have it hosted in a protected country/area do prevent assets being seized. There could also be the opportunity to dedicate specific resources for developing policy/structure that is suited to your needs.
I have some contacts that may be helpful if you need.
@stardust The country aspect you mention is a big reason why I didnt think to use my server here. I am US based.
@stardust absolutely. I admit, most of my technology is more on web design 3D modeling and graphics. I did look up how Mastodon instances can be created on a server and it looked friendly to one of my favorites distros
@Catwoman69y2k yeah it's relatively straight forward. The biggest challenges are maintenance and overall security policies to improve protection. Severs that have outward facing services in non US territories tend to be pretty popular out there as targets.
@Catwoman69y2k and yeah I agree on the issues re: server location. Some of the biggest challenges are establishing hosting in a place that isn't going to necessarily respond to a US complaint, while still keeping content useable for your users in the US.
@Catwoman69y2k I help run a small infosec company that recently launched this past month called dragon scale networking. We're focused on home and small business users and it sounds like you would fit in pretty well. If you want to chat about options definitely open to help where/how I can.
