First of all I want to say thanks for the effort that the team puts into perchance. In today's abundance of social medias, perchance feels very DIY and oldschool, like on good old internet, which feels very refreshing.
Lyrics aside, I want to ask for advice on behalf of furry-ai gen community. As it gains more traction, the need for moderation also grows due to all kinds of ill behavior that poisons the community. Original creators of this gen do not seem to be active or respond to feedback messages. What can be done in this case?
A little bit of both. Trolling, impersonating other people and some generations that no one should be seeing. I can provide more details in private if needed.
Fine - well, as I've mentioned, trolling and impersonation can sometimes get over the top, which is impossible to resolve without the banhammer. There is no one there to pin some sort of manual to users to encourage account and username registration to avoid this, and it is exhausting explaining this over and over. Also, I've just remembered - there is an issue of separating NSFW stuff from SFW more clearly, at least on chat room level, to discourage minors from peeking. I don't think there is an easy solution to that, though, but we want to have space where people can enjoy themselves and don't feel creepy regardless of their age. Content wise, as much as furry community is accepting of fetishisms, some stuff is absolutely unacceptable - such as an equivalent of CP and sexualization of minors (you asked for it, sorry). In my book, there is no place for stuff like this even in form of generated image.
I understand where you're coming from, and I understand that freedom of expression is one of the values of perchance. I am part of the community and I've been on this gen for months now so I know what I am talking about. I genuinely care about people on it, and I'm not the only one who has been raising concerns about certain issues, and majority of people who are a part of this gen's community would agree. I get the hint about other gens, though. Appreciate your input regardless.
