Mist got out and I haven't seen him in 4 hours. It's near midnight and 14C so I can't safely look for him anymore, I'm in desperation.
the horrors persist but my friends write beautiful fanfic
I wasn't able to verify the survey part myself, so adding a disclaimer here ahead of time that it might not be true. I thought I should share regardless because as someone working freelance all these years, there's always a repetitive problem with clients accidentally getting artists accounts flagged, or artists not knowing how to protect themselves from that happening.
Artists: please use invoices, don't rely on payment links or the client sending you the money. It's the safest (well, as safe it can get when it comes to Paypal) way to control what's being said in the exchange of cash. I typically refer to my products as illustrations or digital products.
Paypal offers an option to save "presets" for invoices, so you only really need to set it up once. I also strongly recommend you fill out the Terms of Service field properly - it's saved me from bad faith clients trying to screw my account by breaking my TOS.
You can also instead use platforms such as Artistree that will send your payments without flagging anything in the system.
Commissioners: don't mention anything about NSFW, commission, or even worry about adding anything per se - truly, just leave it blank. If you need to identify yourself, simply say "from [username]". You don't only put the artist's account at risk, you also put yours.
As Bluesky is also flopping by bending to NSFW censorship under the guise of "content moderation", I'm still begging people to just go to @pillowfort-social.
Pillowfort is user funded, has a pretty good and extensive blacklisting and tagging system, a proper NSFW flag/toggle, is Sex Worker friendly, it's LGBT (and specially Trans) inclusive and Anti-AI.
Insisting on the excuse that the platform is quiet while not trying to give it a go will never make it less quiet.
I have invite codes galore to offer and I'm sure others do too. Please just go to Pillowfort and stop thinking Bluesky, Patreon, Twitter and the like will ever support NSFW artists, Trans creators and Sex Workers. It won't.
