Where to Share NSFW creatives?

Fetlife

FetLife is a NSFW social network akin to an adult-oriented Facebook, primarily catering to the BDSM, kink, and fetish communities. Users must be 18 or older. It offers various discussion groups, event listings, and a directory of fetishes. Members have profiles, can form connections, and exchange private messages. They can also share writings, photos, and videos, though video access often requires financial support. It emphasizes community engagement rather than dating, making it a unique platform for adult content creators.

Monstodon

Mastodon is an open-source microblogging platform similar to Twitter, consisting of independently run servers or "instances", sort of like Discord. Users join a specific server, each with its policies. Mastodon is part of the Fediverse using ActivityPub. It supports 500+ character "toots" and various privacy options. Users can interact across servers, with diverse themes and regional focuses. Privacy features include public, private, and unlisted messages, as well as content warnings. Mastodon aggregates local and federated timelines in real time. It searches hashtags and mentioned accounts, not full text, and trending topics vary between instances. It provides a decentralized alternative for NSFW content creators.

Bluesky

Bluesky, a microblogging platform, originated from Twitter's initiative in 2019 to create a decentralized social network protocol (AT Protocol). It became an independent public benefit corporation in 2021. As of October 2023, Bluesky was in beta with invite-only registration. The platform resembles Twitter and focuses on microblogging. It offers AI-based filters for managing lewd content and has attracted a diverse user base, including furries and gays. Users can use three filters to control sexual content, choosing to show, hide, or warn such content.

Reddit

Reddit is a prominent American social news and discussion platform where users, known as "Redditors," submit various content types for community voting. Content is categorized into user-created boards called "subreddits," and higher-voted posts rise to the top. Reddit is well-regarded for its diverse subreddits and its role in raising awareness for various causes. It's a popular website and a valuable platform for sharing art and receiving feedback, with numerous art-focused communities, some of which allow NSFW content if properly labeled. Approximately a quarter of Reddit's subreddits are NSFW-only, catering to adult content creators, with specific rules and privileges for such content.

Twitter / X

Twitter is a widely-used social media platform that defaults to blocking adult content to protect younger users. To access sensitive content, users must adjust their privacy settings. Twitter's sensitive media policy restricts explicit content and inappropriate material, with particular focus on:

1. Graphic Content: This includes violent, gory, or disturbing images, accidents, physical fights, bodily fluids, and animal cruelty. Exceptions may exist for educational or documentary content.
2. Adult Nudity and Sexual Behavior: Twitter prohibits explicit sexual content, including pornography, simulated sexual acts, and certain depictions in cartoons, anime, or animals. However, educational, artistic, and health-related content may be allowed.
3. Violent Sexual Conduct: Any content depicting real or simulated violent sexual acts is not permitted.
4. Bestiality and Necrophilia: Twitter strictly prohibits references to bestiality and necrophilia.

Twitter enforces these policies to ensure a safe and appropriate online environment, particularly for users under 18. Violations can result in account suspension. Users should familiarize themselves with Twitter's sensitive media guidelines and adjust their content accordingly.

Nitter

Be warn, you need to be tech savvy to do this. For people looking for a platform with extra privacy, Nitter is a privacy-focused, open-source alternative to Twitter that offers a minimalist interface resembling the classic Twitter desktop layout. Unlike Twitter, Nitter does not require JavaScript, protecting your privacy by preventing tracking and analytics. It loads pages faster and consumes less data, making your Twitter experience more efficient.  In another words, you are using Twitter through Nitter without the ability to track your behavior. Thus, a lot of NSFW artists do post their work through Nitter, especially Chinese creators who are worried about censorship.
