    This is exactly what the Fediverse is for; the sex industry tends to be quite aggressive about adopting new technologies and I expect they’ll also do so here. (maybe even an entire alternative cloud of NSFW-friendly instances - people tend to be happy to have separate user accounts for porn consumption anyway)

      Switter was the third biggest Mastodon instance when it was open. It was specifically set up by, and to be Sex Worker freindly.
      Guess what happened… Laws passed in Australia that made running the instance troublesome, and the hosts couldn’t afford to constantly legally defend themselves, so it closed down.

      Try and find an instance that welcomes Sex Workers and allows them to advertise. Last time I checked there just isn’t one. I’m a photographer that works with Sex Workers, and from what I have seen they will stick with twitter until it is offline, then probably head to bluesky.

      Agreed. It really seems like a non-issue as long as one knows the first thing about the fediverse, which is knowledge that stands to increase exponentially in the coming weeks. We already have multiple nsfw instances, and I can mute them if I want to without affecting anyone else.

      Then it’s just a question of advertising how to get there. If anything, porn will be one of the main drivers behind meta users testing out non-meta instances.
