#SexWorkers of Mastadon, hear me!

The Ceo of #OnlyFans died a few weeks ago.

He was in the middle of trying to sell the company, and it wasn't going well. Since his death, the value of the company has dropped from $8 Billion to $3.5 Billion.

There are 4.6 million creators on OnlyFans. It would cost them each $760 bucks thereabout, to throw in together and come up with that money.

Every sex workers advocacy group should be organizing this. THIS is the moment for sex workers to take ownership.

Hey has anyone who's on #nsfwsocial decided what other instance you wanna migrate to, when it shuts down?

I don't post much but id really like to be able to continue following the current news, interpretations, and thoughts of folks directly impacted by laws about
#WomensRights #LGBTQ #SexWorkers #HumanRights etc. And amplify those voices, support those communities, etc ...

Tbh I do also really appreciate seeing pics that content creators share of themselves- and know its not a stolen image, (stop
#NCII) a trafficked person, some kind of unmarked bot or "ai" or misogynist bro....?

Anyway, good luck, health, safety, justice, and abundance for each of you and everyone who Loves!
