"""" Hence, many spaces allowing those people. IB did a good thing with its ban on those signals but, yes, it took far too long. A big reason has to do with reactionary hesitance to “censorship,” when preventing people from doing real harm is not the same as censoring art or taboo fiction."""
BINGO... there is a HUGE difference between asking that people PLEASE not use Map Flags or Zeta Symbols on their profiles or advertise that they use such and such encrypted messenger service for the sake of the longevity of the website and the SAFETY OF ITS USERS.... and some mod going on a big goofy power trip and deciding to outright ban huge sections of artwork just because it ruffles their morality jimmies.
And to elaborate on that previous topic, if ~I~ ran Inkbunny or had any hand in it, or say in it -- I'd tack on an extra stipulation to the "No Map / No Zeta" Rule -- anyone who is caught advertising a Session code on their profile gets a warning to take it down, and if they don't comply after being asked nicely, YOU'RE GONE, OUT... GOOD BYE.... I would add Telegram into that too but sadly TOO MANY people use it for such a rule to be feasibly enforced... a lot of people would also probably push back against such a decision, but I feel like advertising that you use any kind of "encrypted chat service" is a huge glaring red flag....
We do not need people who aren't even furries making profiles on our FURRY website so they can trade gawd knows what between each other... that makes I.B. look really, really, really bad. And I.B. already has a dubious reputation as it is... so the sooner those types are kicked off the platform the better.
