Not a good place for pros, unfortunately.

Their 7th rule:

"No offering commercial services. This place is for fun, not profit."

Because apparently profit is not fun.

Good catch.

A little ironic from a place calling itself kinkybusiness

I had the same thought.

Thanks for straightening me out on that point, Ma'am. I jumped right in and started playing around, but am still wrapping my brain around how the software works conceptually.

Me too. I gravitated to that server for obvious reasons, but find it strange that they have a "kinky business" server on which kinky people can do no business.

My guess is that they meant it in a cutesy way, like "Risky Business" or "Monkey Business".

Maybe a bold person should put up a server for prodommes. I think it could succeed for them like Twitter did. I had to make a special trip to Switter, whereas with Twitter I was there anyway for other reasons. The same could be true now that Mastodon is a thing.

Little reason for people to complain. Don't like it? Block that server. Poof!

Yup. From what I understand, Mastodon users have complete control over their feeds so folks really can’t complain about seeing content they object to. You’re probably right about the kinky business. It’s the only thing that makes sense. I’d love to see Dommes get their own server! What a relief for them not to have to worry about those nebulous gray areas where it seems like admins can block or shadow ban accounts for whatever reason they see fit. I’m having fun exploring this software and I hope it catches on.

Yeah, I'm trying to get the feel of how the servers/instances work with each other; what you can or cannot do? I like the idea of server independence to keep things decentralized, though.

I think you're right.



I would do it but would need to learn how establish and run a server. I would learn how to run a server if I didn't already have a full plate. Whoever does it needs to be prepared to deal with certain Powers That Be trying to harass and sabotage.
