What's the situation on CoSo? Is this a safe space for fan artists and fanfic writers? What about NSFW content? I need the tea 🍡

@masterofthedeck
NSFW needs to have a content warning (click the CW at the bottom). "I'll know it when I see it" porn is not allowed by terms of service. Fanfic would be difficult with the character limit, but pro accounts can access file sharing.

@AlphaCentauri thanks! I meant in terms of like, fanfic writers having community here and discussing content and characters and ideas, not necessarily posting it.

@masterofthedeck
Oh, yeah, definitely. I don't think they have a consistent yet.

I don't know who maintains the suggested hashtag list at help.counter.social/en/latest/ but if you just start typing or in the "Search" space above the posting form on a computer browser, it will bring up several. (Ignore the zeros for post count; that just refers to the last 24 hours I think.)

@AlphaCentauri I noticed that! Thank you for the insight. Just feeling things out to see if this platform is the right fit for me 🍻

@masterofthedeck Yes to being a fine space for fan art and fanfic, though tbh I don't see a whole lot of that here.

NSFW is generally acceptable in posts, so long as the post is tagged as such and the content warning tool is used (the little CW near the remaining character count). Oh, and generally it's preferred if the account isn't just entirely NSFW stuff; "porn bots" aren't okay.

You can check the ToS for more details :)

@masterofthedeck

There are lots of artists and writers here, not sure about fanfic specifically, but use the tags and find your people.

You might also want to check out CoSoGroups. I admit I have not explored that much at all yet.

NSFW stuff is fine as long as you use content warnings so folks can choose to opt-in or out.
