Greetings from new mod team

I’ve started putting together community rules at sidebar

  • Team members: Since we don’t have team modmail capabilities yet, let’s use this to intro ourselves to community, as well as to have conversations about the direction of the community, including feedback from community members feedback.

  • All: I’d welcome your feedback, comments.

  • WRT consent and respect, please also see this post by admins

  • Volunteers? If you (including OCC) would like to help moderate and grow this community, please leave a comment here expressing your interest; prior experience modding is not necessary, simply that you have passion for this particular community. No promises that you’ll get added, but a general community of this potential growth/size could use a good sized team of 5 to 10 mods. Please see this rough commentary on what I consider modding to be: https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/552299

    Any chance the “childlike” bit can get removed/reworded in the sidebar? I get you’ve clarified the rules that this is an explicitly adult-only community (which really should go without saying), but leaving the phrasing invites the wrong idea of what content is welcome here/could bring in the creep crowd. There’s a pretty big difference between cute/adorable nsfw content and “childlike” nsfw content, but your sidebar blurs that line in a way you might not be intending.

    Unrelated, what’s this community’s stance on male/masc-presenting posts? Is it a women-only focused community?

      Yeah, I wondered about leaving that in. TBH, I was searching various dictionary references for “adorable” to see if my understanding matches the common usage, and childlike just happened to be one of the definitions. I will remove.

      [Update]: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/adorable is where the initial reference came from as part of cut/paste

      I would like this to be all genders inclusive, and we can use tags as necessary.

      [Addition] I strongly feel that we can all find beauty and appreciate the human body in all forms. I’m all ok with simply scrolling past posts that I don’t find match my preferences.

      Let’s hear more opinions. Thanks much for your input .

        My preference would be to split the community into different genders (F, M, Tf, Tm, etc) so everyone can subscribe to the subset of who they want to see - have sidebar/sticky-post links to all of them from all of them of course.

        Otherwise everything that isn’t cis-female gets lost in the shuffle anyway as soon as there is enough content.

        (I really wish Gonewild would do this too, and not for my own sake, since it’s reached that content threshold and I very rarely see posts I would skip, but so others can see them easily and the creators could be recognized)

          I understand your point - though lemmynsfw is still smallish that I fear fragmenting would just make everything even “smaller”.
          Let’s see how much content and posters we will have in the next month or so.

          I simply don’t want to peg folks into special groups or tell them to go to “your” corner(s). The larger the audience, the more diversity we’ll have and appreciate.
