“Using online surveys and personal interviews with a range of sex workers…FOSTA-SESTA severely curtailed their ability to work indoors, work independently, and share support or harm-reduction resources…some reported turning to pimps or other predatory third parties and engaging in street-based work, which is exponentially more dangerous”

Reading about Jim Larkin's recent suicide brought up a complex of emotions for me. I've finally had space to type up some thoughts, to which I'm now subjecting you.

I think someone with a strong sysadmin background should put up a #Mastodon #Server for prodommes. Not all sex work is the same. It is a spectrum with the exploitative nonconsentual crimes on one end to professionals acting with free choice who like their jobs on the other.
Platform owners operating in the US: want to curb your expenditures? Lobby to repeal #FOSTASESTA and the #CDA. Restore #SafeHarborProtections.
Boom. Your spend just dropped in half. No more moderators or filters. Put your staff to good use curbing real abuses.
