Thank you for the work you do as well to fact-check and get answers on things like this, it’s truly appreciated

Thank you so much for saying this, it means a lot coming from you! I always encourage people when they share my content publicly to include my handle so that if I get something wrong or if people have follow questions they can come to me - I def understand how this looked taken out of context 🥲

okay i’ll shut up now but yeah, i hope that helps clarify. i feel physically ill when i see SWs feel unsafe/anxious and i hate that this apparently spiraled into A Thing, but i just want to reassure that there was no malicious intent here (& also that i’m not some psycho shitposting for clout). 🖤

my intent with sharing info is never to incite panic, it’s to help people evaluate their risk profiles and strategize accordingly. i teach opsec workshops + consults (always pro bono) focused on this.

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
my intent with sharing that information was to give SWs a heads up that there was potential for things to shift on this platform, and to help them de-risk. these were the mitigation strategies i posted in my next slide, followed by an info request.

(also sent you a follow up DM because i haven’t really been following the narrative on this, but to be extra clear, the screenshot in this thread is what i shared to IG; i don’t have a tiktok & never shared screenshots of the emails i reviewed)

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
it’s critically important to me that 1) the info i share is shared with the appropriate confidence level, and 2) that when i share info, i also share appropriate risk mitigation strategies. i believe strongly in responsible disclosure, especially wrt uncertain or tentative info.

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
that being said, i do stand by what i posted earlier this week. given the info i had at the time (& verified), it was absolutely reasonable to warn people that a **potential** TOS change had been leaked in deletion emails. i don’t phrase it this way for plausible deniability, i do so for accuracy.

if you want to vet me personally, ask just about any domme in NYC who’s been in the scene for a few years; i would be happy to chat w you personally as well. i don’t post to socials for clout, i do it because i give a major fuck about community. i rarely share info publicly.

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
i do also frequently have inside knowledge about the inner workings of major companies (not bsky, but comps), because i have former colleagues who are happy to share info with me.

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
i’m not a content creator, but i do have an extensive background in the tech industry (over a decade, senior roles, major corporations). in general, i’m careful to commentate on things that are within my scope of expertise.

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
hey mel! original poster here - i rarely log in here but i appreciate your intent w this & wanted to respond. first off: i’m a recently retired SW of 6 yrs & still use my IG to disseminate safety info. i usually post SW-only info to my CF stories, which has >300 vetted SWs on it.

(& for those wondering: Mozilla VPN was the culprit - it’s ironically the one that i use when i want to *not* trigger spam flags in basically every other app/site)

made the amateur mistake of trying to reinstall signal while using a VPN that signal thinks is spam & got slapped with a 5-day lockout, so if you’ve messaged me on there this week I haven’t received it! should have access back tomorrow 🙃

I know I say this all the time but for the love of god, the FSC is one of the few groups ACTUALLY fighting for our right to remain on the internet & they deserve so much more donation $$ than they actually get

One thing we should all be conscious of here on Bluesky is that trans people were a key part of keeping this site alive when everyone else was afraid to lose clout. They are a big reason we have an alternative to Elon.

DNS changes can take a while to show up, even up to a couple days. sometimes you un-fuck your settings but your laptop will still see a broken site, yet your phone will load it just fine. this is normal, don’t panic

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
*do not* edit or delete anything else in your DNS settings, even if you see random shit in there that you don’t recognize or understand. if you add a bluesky entry and your site goes down, ONLY delete the bluesky part that you just added, then *don’t touch anything else for 24h*

READ BEFORE YOU SET YOUR SITE AS YOUR HANDLE ✌️ if you try to change your DNS settings and you mess it up, it can take down your site + email too be careful & precise when adding the bsky record: make a copy of your current settings beforehand, exclude any trailing spaces, triple check for typos

your handle will be fine, it's your domain that can break DNS settings are easy to mess up, and if you mess them up, it takes down your site and it's difficult to fix unless you're fluent in that weird niche subject

if you can’t tell me what an MX record does, you don’t have the knowledge to fix your DNS settings when you accidentally blow them up aksjdjdndm

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 19/11/2024
oh my god please stop trying to set your domains as your handle, I can’t keep fixing everyone’s DNS settings when your sites go down 😭

this is a case of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" - yes, it's technically a less secure solution, but it's the solution that works for a usually not-very-tech-savvy population that's already overwhelmed by technological marginalization & frequently needs to share access with third parties

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
if you’re on android, I believe you can just change this from your settings from the get-go (but someone else double check that for me) I really love this behavior and IMO it’s the way social media apps *should* behave. yes to asking people for consent to show them porn before showing them porn!

Mistress Fae @mistressfae.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
do note however that adult content is hidden by default in order to comply with App Store rules. if you have an iPhone, you’ll need to change this setting by logging in on the web & going to settings > moderation. once you’ve adjusted your settings on the web, you can change them in-app

we can say any words we want on here(!) photos will get automatically flagged, but flagging does *not* mean that your reach is limited or you get shadowbanned. (this is ideal behavior!) obviously this might change if/when bsky gets advertisers, but for now we can be uncensored

nope, it just keeps track of your existing passwords. you’ll have to input your usernames & passwords into it manually, or import them from your old password manager
