I'll save my commentary until I've had a chance to read over some analysis. So far, the only people reporting on this seem to be spicy artists ... and a group that thinks this is totally excellent and about time.

Support queer and spicy artists. Fuck Kickstarter and every other company that has already betrayed us for prudes.

As @ErosBlog says so well:

"Ultimately, the #Pornocalypse comes for us all."

Even the Fediverse.

Bluesky has decided they need that VC money, so they will try to become Xchitter of the Center. The Left and "abberant" sexual expression is expendable and not VC friendly, so, it's gotta go.

Australians, here's an opportunity for you to help combat the global efforts to use private industry to control what otherwise legal products and services adults are able to spend their money on.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

In particular my ErosBlog post doesn't touch on the way that broad bans on "NSFW" content always end up banning LGBTQ+ stuff, sexual health information, sex worker rights conversations. I've already seen women on TikTok complaining that their menstruation software on itch.io was banned.

ErosBlog post also didn't get into the whole Collective Shout weirdos from Australia who are behind this wave of #pornocalypse. They are new to me. That's a rabbit hole. Looks like a trap.

Thanks to the various people who have been poking me about the #pornocalypse news on Steam (July 15) and itch.io (today). Pornocalypse has been an ErosBlog reporting beat since 2013 but I'm tired and broke; not claiming this post adds *much* to the narrative, just nails it into my dozen-year timeline of reports, for the record:

One of the tags on the above "Katy Perry Sploshed" post is #FetishFuel which I have been using for many years. It's a very handy tag and descriptive term. I got it from Dr. Faustus back when he was co-blogging on ErosBlog but he says he got it from the TV Tropes site before they had their huge #pornocalypse moment back in 2010 and deleted all the fetish fuel tropes from the site, many of which he had labored to help them curate. No he's not still bitter. (Yes he is.)

The pornocalypse comes for us all, yeah?

Well, yesterday, in case you missed it, it came for the furries on Fansly:

For professional reasons, I log into a Pinterest page once a month and spend 5 minutes pinning 10 pins to 1 of 3 themed pinboards. They are sexy but PG13 because #Pinterest is a #pornocalypse platform.

I've been doing this for ~three years. It's my only interaction with the platform.

My subjective impression: the quality of the "Home" feed has RADICALLY deteriorated due to what looks like AI-generated #spam.

Items are on target for what I'm looking for but are fuzzy, vague, and weird.

Pedantic side note about the Trump sucking Musk's toe's fake that played in the HUD building the other day. I've seen people on here, and apparently the BlueSky moderators (briefly), claiming it was sexually explicit.

It's literally not. Do you see genitals? I don't see any genitals.

It's sexually IMPLICIT.

That's why it works as mockery. It's a superficially non-sexual act (toe sucking) from which we infer a kinky sexual relationship.

@vagina_museum I used your screenshot as a conversation-starter on my blog to solicit experiences from my readers about the adult-content moderation on BlueSky. I've heard it's bad -- and that BlueSky is fundamentally a pornocalypse platform -- which is why I'm not on there myself.

Quoting a mutual with no context:

"Tumblr had some good stuff, until the Payment Processor Nation attacked."

#Pornocalypse

@mindpersephone Precisely. Sometimes banning just looks like an endless series of escalating "safety" "regulations" "for the children" until we're to the point where the same five #pornocalypse platforms that already have 90% of the internet traffic are the only ones who can afford to fuck with the regulatory regime, and they do that mostly by locking down their platforms with ban-happy AI moderators.

@autonomysolidarity Bei der Gelegenheit sei auch an die #Zensur durch die sogenannte #Jugendschutz Software #JusProg erinnert, die Anfang des Jahres bekannt wurde.

Zahlreiche progressive Aufklärungsseiten wurden durch das Programm blockiert, ohne dass die Eltern davon wussten.

Zudem steht auch im öffentlichen #Bayern WLAN allen Nutzer*innen weiter nur das durch #JusProg gefilterte Netz zur Verfügung.

Yes, this is an affiliate link. But you've been following me for two years now. You know I don't spam this thing. I believe I've posted it only twice before, both times in conversations about "where can I trust my host not to get squirrely about my pornz" conversations. A host you can trust not to go #pornocalypse on a random wednesday when they get accidentally acquired by an industrial adhesives conglomerate is truly a pearl beyond price.

If you read the linked article closely, internal signals at Google are "we're going all in on AI, and won't be a search company any more so much as an AI-fueled recommendation engine" and "Everything we do has to be filtered through an intense desire not to piss off the major brand advertisers".

Those are PURE DEATH for porn and adult conversation (also the whole universe of LGBTQ+ discourse) because every corporate AI has #pornocalypse built into its bones and major brands consider us poison.

#writerscoffeeclub 28. Do you make any of your work available for free? Would you?

If the #Pornocalypse gets bad enough I can’t sell my ebooks on any platform including a website of my own (which could happen, as payment processors bow to Apple which is bowing to Project 2025 ahead of time) my plan is to fall back to AO3, which allows posting of original work so long as it’s free.

I have tried making books temporarily free with Smashwords coupons before, and might again.

1) AIs are taking over the "search" experience.

2) AIs are expen$ive. Corporate tools with #pornocalypse designed in.

3) AI #search is vanishing #internet #porn. Online #adult stuff will still exist, but undiscoverable, unsearchable, unmonetizable, #shadowbanned everywhere. SUPER marginalized.

4) They've already showed us: to corporate #AI, porn includes #gay stuff, #trans existence, #sex education, #sexual #health, anything #queer or #kinky.

@pluralistic So how's it going, my contribution to the coinage of "pornocalypse" to explain the natural life cycle of porn on social media platforms, from its early welcome to its eventual banishment and/or concealment behind a veil of search invisibility?

Not as well as Cory's doing with enshittification, that's for sure. But people who worry and write about the adult internet know it, and use it. Good enough!

1) orgs got their cloud accounts jacked to run AI sexbots;

2) @briankrebs wrote it up: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/10/a-single-cloud-compromise-can-feed-an-army-of-ai-sex-bots/

3) Krebs posted it to LinkedIn, where some AI summarizer auto-added a graphic to it;

4) Another LinkedIn #pornocalypse AI then REMOVED the post/story for "adult nudity"; https://kinkyelephant.com/@briankrebs@infosec.exchange/113243834320160608

5) The tone police then came after Krebs for not posting a CW or NSWF tag with the story. https://kinkyelephant.com/@briankrebs@infosec.exchange/113244201140586174

@briankrebs #Pornocalypse comes for the cybersecurity reporter whose story had "sex bots" in the headline

In my circles there's a lot of talk about all the resources (which include a ton of erotica and porn) that are vanishing or have already vanished from the open web as pornocalypse and the general decline of independent websites take their toll.

This 404 message spotted on a blog (now defunct of course) back in '08 is apropos:

Bored with my paying work, I asked Gemini (a pornocalypse LLM) to "compose a love sonnet as if Han Solo saw Princess Leia Organa taking a shower." I got... SCOLDED!

One search I monitor in Google is "sex blog" to see where ErosBlog ranks: a basic health meter showing #pornocalypse changes at Google in real time (+/- a few days).

After changing the ErosBlog tagline to "the sex blog of record" I realized some old SEO cruft was interfering with Google's snippeting engine. Clearing that out, I got a new snippet about two hours later.

Google's snippet-picking (presumably AI powered) has gotten better. Sex-blog relevant, from DEEP in the middle of a post!

@me @amy Thank you! It's actually not a bad description, especially given how I use ErosBlog so often to record names and dates and blow-by-blows of stuff like #pornocalypse events that nobody else much is paying specific attention to. And I can't tell you how often I refer to my own old posts to figure out when/why/where/what about some sex-related discourse from long ago.

One of my readers tricked ChatGPT into generating a summary of the content at ErosBlog. Among the confabulatory bullshit that came back was the claim that Erosblog is "often" referred to as "the sex blog of record." Which is sweet, but, um...

It's a lie! Nobody ever referred to ErosBlog like that. I would have noticed. Confirming, the phrase doesn't exist in any search engine.

Yesterday on ErosBlog I complained abt being invisible to and unspeakable by the pornocalypse LLMs. Today on garden TikTok someone I follow agonized about being vanished by the algo for saying something simple about Palestine.

So I'm thinking a lot today about our new dualistic reality. The world as it is, in tension with the crabbed subset that's visible (and permissible to discuss) using corporate internet tools.

#Pornocalypse #Palestine #AI #LLM #ChatGPT #Gemini #Google #TikTok #SocialMedia

On a whim, I set a smol pornocalypse test for Google's Gemini AI chatbot. I asked it for summaries of the content at a pair of decades-old blogs: ErosBlog and BoingBoing. It returned a very nice summary of BoingBoing, but went all "Sorry, Dave, I can't..." on me about ErosBlog.

"As a language model, I’m not able to assist you with that."

Sure, Jan...

#Amazon and #Google are sending me e-mails offering me $100 and $800 if I spend money to advertise with them when I know fully well that they're not going to advertise anything adult.

At least it saves me money?

@AimeeMaroux

1) I am demonstrably bad at social media;

2) I never tried very hard, because of my "the #pornocalypse comes for us all" fatalism about building adult community on corporate platforms.

I also used to think it would have been easier to find social media "engagement" if I was a creator rather than mostly a curator of other people's stuff. But I think what we all saw on Tumblr may have blown up that theory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
