Okay posting this is really reminding me to prioritize a smart nsfw toggle. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience.

I just logged in to my twitter account for the first time in years to test this. I'm not sure if I'm "scrolling by new unfiltered", but one of two things is true.

1. The experience is different. I'm not seeing any of that type of content.

or

2. It's not obvious how to "scroll by new unfiltered". If I'm not doing it, I can't see how to do it. I would never do it accidentally.

Your site is defined by it's users sexuality. Of course sex will be the main focus of it. And no, an ulfiltered Twitter will not be a 90%+ sex focused experience. Yiou just need to face reality, your site is basically a sex community, on the style of fetlife.com

(to be pedantic: gender expression not exactly sexuality... )

@t4t :

which is 100% fine.

Just keep PII out of government hands, while verifying users before showing them content.

While you get the NSFW toggling working. I would (for an over abundance of caution) turn off all content previews for non registered users.

> Looks more like a community of horny people and other weird stuff.

Communities of horny people are indeed weird stuff.

I remember one time when I accidentally happened upon one such community, naively thinking it was just a local bar.

Oh wait, that's every local bar I've ever set foot in.

What community do you live in, and what do they put in the water there? :)

I am logged into lgbt community on reddit. I was curious what it is like there. Significant amount is just posts with pictures in front of mirrors. Not nsfw, but self-absorbed.
