There are issues that have been on my mind for a few days, and I wanted to talk about them with you.
Downvotes
As you may notice, downvotes have been completely off for the last few days. I did this because I couldn’t resist the pressure of some friends :/ I still don’t know what to do about this. The majority of members probably want it to be completely open. As mods, posters and admins; some think it should be closed, some think it should be restricted (I guess).
I guess there is no solution that makes everyone happy. I realized I don’t have admin skills in stressful situations, I’m a fucking stupid lol :D I miss @gabe so much.
lemmyposter212 suggested “fuzzy votes” or something that can work for us too. I think I’ll just ghost this issue for a while.
Donations
As you know, all our donation accounts have been closed. Since it was my first time opening a site in the NSFW area, I had no experience. I reviewed some adult donation sites but most of them were shady. Honestly I couldn’t trust them.
There are only coins now. But I guess most people don’t want to deal with coins. It is because I didn’t get any donations about 4 months now :D Those sent from Github Sponsor or Patreon were also returned to donators as well. I received $200-ish donations so far.
We are currently the 2nd largest instance in Lemmy. After lemmy.world, we’re bigger than lemmy.ml and lemm.ee! I don’t think it will work this way anymore. On an annual basis, I need to spend a month’s salary for Lemmy NSFW.
Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?
First off: thanks for running this site.
Second: you made the right choice with downvotes. There are too many people who downvote stuff outside their kink. I’ve seen more dudes showcasing their junk since you started. That isn’t my thing, but it’s good for the community.
Third: I’m gonna have to look up this coin thing. You got a link?
Fourth: the gallery sounds cool.
Side note; is it gay to upvote a picture of a dong?
Only if you’re not sure
Once downvotes were disabled I stopped using votes altogether.
You can’t only give us one option to voice preferences. Alternatively I could just comment on posts I don’t like but that would be considered harassment, and honestly that’s extremely petty…
Harsh words here, but if you’re putting yourself out there and get emotional about getting downvoted, you should probably reevaluate your choices. Go on only fans, this isn’t a safe space that should be tailored to your insecurities. Or go start your own community and stay out of the ones that show you that they don’t want you posting there. Just saying.
Sure yea, why not! I guess you go on reddit and you start to downvote! who cares right? right. Like you gonna be heard on why you downvote, or they will notice it.
We are getting downvoted for posting images, no matter if its wrong or right, and here its not only fans, its lemmnynsfw.com, we are supposed to follow the rules and use its controls right! Why we should leave and not you? We at least upload content and we upvote each other, report the ones that dont fit, still other users downvote every post they see, cause they dont like it!
Ah ok, you want a personal cloud gallery all to yourself… that’s why you’re posting here!
Sounds like you have a few issues to work through, should probably get those addressed before posting naked images of yourself on the internet…
who said anything about cloud gallery? and I’m not even a model! I think you got something wrong here, its not only the models who get downvoted, but the posters like me, who contribute with NSFW content! im out! lol
