    1. Choose an instance where the rules don’t forbid the content you want to post. If you’re looking for exposure of your own art, you’ll particularly want to avoid choosing an instance that has onerous rules. (One example of such a rule might be that porn needs to be posted as “unlisted” or followers-only.)
    2. Mark the media as sensitive. How you do this will depend on what interface/client you’re using.
    3. Use the “content warning” feature. This is not a place for a full description. Instead, imagine it from from the perspective of someone who would not want to see it. What keywords or descriptors would be useful to allow them to know that they shouldn’t click to show it? (A useful minimum would be something to indicate that it’s illustrated or RL, that it’s furry or feral or whatever, the apparent sexes of the characters, and any extreme fetishes depicted.)


  • Of all the things I haven’t had time for in far too long, I miss ERP the most.

    However, I don’t know if ERP is really even the right term for me, because I’m basically never roleplaying a character that’s distinct from me. The collaboratively created setting and actions can be far more real to me than actual reality.

    My species dysphoria runs so strong that even when I’m having sex in real life, if I want to get off I have to focus on an imagined version of events where I’m in a more true form (feral). This is not from a disinterest in real-life sex, anything but! (It should say a lot that I never put PrEP on pause even during the height of the pandemic.) Rather, my point is that in a way, sex is kinda always ERP, at least to me inside my head.

    As for where: I miss the days before F-List went off the rails in a bizarrely anti-privacy way by permitting FFA to exist instead of banning it for enabling creepy/abusive record-keeping of otherwise ephemeral LFRP postings. I haven’t felt safe on that platform since that became a thing.

    I also dearly miss the days when just chatting with people would rather often naturally segue into ERP. (Am I crazy for blaming the decline of that on smartphones?)
