#genderdiscrimination — Public Fediverse posts

so far I've been happy on @eldritch.cafe (even though I don't speak French, the people and mods on here have been decent, and the 5000 character limit on posts is much appreciated.) but as you'd expect from a smaller instance, I get very few or no results for many tags that are important to me, like #contentCreator #youtube #twitch #livestream #videoInterview #vlogger #videoEssayist #socialCommentary #thepatriarchy and many similar tags.

so it might be useful for me to try out another, more content creator-inclusive server sometime. but I'm not sure there's really a perfect fit out there.

for one thing, character count is important to me, and so many instances (I presume founded by Twitter users) leave theirs at the default 500, which I find stifling. even 1000 is frequently irritating, when I've gotten used to 5000. I also don't understand the appeal of tight character limits, since people just then write out long, rambling threads of posts, that can easily be taken out of context to warp their whole argument and leave them rife for misinterpretation (see: "quote tweeting")

beyond that, while my videos focus on so many #progressive causes I care about, like #feminism #lgbtq #queer #equalRights #genderdiscrimination #genderEquality #houselessness #mentalHealthcare #transRights #racialEquality and many other #leftwing #USpolitics, because I do my videos topless, there are basically no platforms I can host my content until I can somehow convince sponsors to pay me so I can set up my own hosting-- @tio is kind enough to let me post my uncensored videos to his #peertube server, but there's no real searchability within peertube (as evinced by how many people suggest I post my content to peertube, which I already have been for years...) and putting censored videos of my videos on mainstream platforms that tell people to visit my website to see my uncensored videos doesn't work well, both because of how often my content gets #banned even when it's fully censored (thanks, haters), and because many people are a little, well... 😏 I can only say "follow the link written on the video" (because I'll get banned for "linking to porn" if I put a clickable link in my video description or social media post) so many times.

back to switching instances, the main reason I picked Eldritch Cafe several years ago is because, being French, they don't have the same blatantly misogynistic puritanical views towards "female nipples" being unacceptable viewing outside of explicit sexual situations. they just want them placed under a content warning, as you'd expect on basically every server. but alas, like I said, there just aren't really any other content creators that I've found on here, especially not vloggers/social commentary/video essayists like me (idk what the distinction is, really). that's why it might make more sense for me to move instances, much as I've come to feel comfortable here.

but then the crux of the problem arises--I am, first and foremost, a #toplessequality activist. I want "the same rights for 'female looking nipples' that 'male looking nipples' get." while I was raised a nudist, and for a little while there I did a fair amount of content catering to nudists (talking about #nudism / #naturism , being fully naked instead of just topless, etc...) but I've really been finding the urge to distance myself from nudists lately, for reasons I go into detail here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism/ the tl;dr version is that just talking about nudism all the time is boring to me, and I resent how so many of the (straight cis male) nudists who would exchange my videos amongst themselves would skim right past my whole "fight for gender equality" and just use me as a (more culturally appealing than yet more straight white cis male) nudist figurehead. a lot of nudists are also very anti-sex worker, which goes against my morals- I fully believe that #sexWorkIsWork, and any #consensual #sexWork is fine by me.

what I resent is that, when it comes to mainstream platforms, only being allowed to post my uncensored female nipples on platforms that allow explicit sexual material. I am NOT a sex worker, I DO NOT do anything actually sexual in my videos-- I have interviews with #adultFilm actors, #camgirls, #kink educators, etc, but it's discussion only, we don't DO anything sexual, or go into graphic detail about sexual acts. but because of puritanical American society, the only places I can simply be topless-while-female is on places like Onlyfans, Mewe and Joystick.tv - - places already overflowing with porn.
