Hi friends, I’m a sex worker and a leftist. I’m brand new to this community. Sex workers are really taking it from all sides right now (no pun intended!) and due to Melon Husk’s hateful algorithm, there’s yet another viral “leftist” take that is essentially “prostitution bad” from some walnut who has never sold hole in her life. Meanwhile I, an actual prostitute, can barely get 200 views on my damn posts about my own goddamn experience. I would love to post it and scream into the internet abyss but I’m not sure if there is an appropriate place to do that now due to recent changes to the site. Is there a community here where this content is acceptable? I don’t really want to drag/dunk on the person who posted it in particular as there is a different random jackass posting the same take pretty much every day.

    Thank you this is helpful. Is there a list of common content warning labels used here? Do people block/ban certain CW keywords so they don’t see those posts, or do they just look at the post title and not click the post if they don’t want to see that type of content?

      The latter. As long you tag your stuff appropriately I don’t think you’ll see a problem.

      i don’t think there’s a list, ones i’ve seen:

      content warnings

      any sort of bigotry, sexism, racism, ableism, queerphobia or any other -phobia, slurs, SA or sexual violence, abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, death, suicide/suicidal ideation, self-harm, mental health, animal cruelty, and meat usually if it’s in the post’s picture, i’ve seen a cw: disturbing too

      i think it’s more the latter where people don’t click/expand the post if they don’t want to see the content
