I have not been able to read my full timeline in a while but I see today is an excellent day to remind people that "social media addiction" is a made up thing and accepting that framing and using that term is actively harmful www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Moral of the story*: this is why we can't trust corporations with allowing creative expression bc they'll throw the undesirables overboard at the first hint of pressure or lost profit, & why the fight against payment processor censorship is so important (*it has a moral so it's WattPad compliant)

Out of curiosity, went to check out the new wattpad guidelines, and not only are they banning pwp, they're cracking down on pretty much anything that doesn't have a moral lesson and a happy ending (and can't be too violent either) policies.wattpad.com/content/

2. Before You Post

Wattpad is a public platform. What you share here can be read, shared, and remembered by others.

Before publishing, we encourage you to:

Think about your audience - is your content appropriate for the rating you've selected?

Protect your privacy and others - avoid sharing personal or identifiable information.

Be mindful of impact - content that may be harmful, exploitative, or misleading can be removed.

Real Person Fiction - stories featuring real people are welcome on Wattpad but must be published responsibly. Stories will be removed if they involve non-consensual sexual content, private information (PII), targeted harassment, or non-consensual AI/deepfakes.

Create with intent - stories should contribute to the narrative, not exist solely to shock, harm, or abuse.

Sexual Content

Everyone/Allowed

Romantic or sexual relationships as part of a broader story

Non-explicit or implied sexual content

Mature

Explicit sexual scenes between consenting adults (18+ or as otherwise applicable under local, national or international laws)

Sexual content that supports the story, not the main purpose

Banned/Not Allowed

Pornographic content (created primarily for sexual arousal)

Any sexual content involving minors. Wattpad maintains zero tolerance for Child Sexual Explicit Material (CSEM). We may report suspected CSEM directly to relevant law enforcement authorities worldwide.

Sexual exploitation, coercion, or non-consensual acts that are glorified

Sexual roleplay, solicitation, or messaging

Illegal sex acts in violation of applicable local and international laws, including but not limited to, bestiality, necrophilia, incest, or child sexual exploitation and abuse material

Violence

Everyone/Allowed

Mild or non-graphic violence

Conflict that supports a storyline

Mature

Graphic or intense violence within a narrative

Banned/Not Allowed

Content created primarily to shock or glorify harm

Gratuitous or prolonged violence that doesn't support the broader narrative

Self-Expression & Sensitive Topics

We recognize that storytelling often explores difficult themes, including trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health.

Everyone/Allowed

Stories that handle sensitive topics responsibly

Narratives that show consequences, recovery, or growth

Mature

Survival stories that offer a sense of hope or support

Could contain graphic descriptions

Stories referencing or describing sensitive topics, in a non-glorifying way

Banned/Not Allowed

Content that normalizes or glorifies harmful behavior

Content where harmful acts are presented as desirable or rewarding

Next is Fables. This one is new, but it has some promise. It's also a bit buggy and lacking a couple things. They give you ad revenue for your comic and the ads are ads for comics on Top Web Comics or comics on Fables. fables.pro/a/home

I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art

Screen cap of the front page of the Fybe website. It reads;
Fed up with AI?
A new marketplace is in town.
Fybe is here, and there’s no Gen-AI or dropshipping allowed.

The "creatives" who use genAI at any part of their process need to understand I'm not desperate for new media. There is such a backlog of arts, movies, books, and games WITHOUT genAI that if nothing new was made again, I'd still need a hundred lifetimes to consume even a fraction of it.

NOT FUCKING MULLVAD GOD DAMN IT www.tumblr.com/3liza/820613... circumstances.run/@davidgerard...

tumblr post from 3liza titled "cancel your mullvad subscription":

tech news today is that Mullvad VPN has gone mask-off about being the major funding source for the Swedish Orebro party, who are racist nationalists. unfortunately all discussion of this is occurring on fucking Mastodon instances i can barely load

if you are a mullvad customer (as i am) and want to get out, here is guidance from this guy ( https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/116823203601885385 )

"""
If you don't want your Mullvad fees going to fund neo-Nazis - or @mozilla VPN fees, which is rebranded Mullvad - cancel and get a refund immediately

that's whose "free speech" the official account is talking about here, and that's where your fees go to

EDIT: Mullvad has a 14 day refund policy. But the message below is a direct call to ask for a refund if you don't want to give money to Nazis.

If Mullvad refuse a refund, call your consumer protection agency. And reverse credit card charges on the basis of deceptive refund policy representations. It's not like you ever want to be a Mullvad customer again.

we aren't in a "fanfic recession" but that someone decided to use these terms to complain reveals the real problem; a lot of 'fans' are thinking like shareholders and executives, devaluing creative work, refusing to support the artists they have, and looking at everything with the lens of profit

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
