My Worries about FA
5 years ago
I find it a bit odd to be making this journal post but alas I am compelled to. The changing of ownership and other updates for Furaffinity has me worried.
We are taking additional steps to combat misinformation by adding a new Code of Conduct policy. This new policy goes into effect in two weeks time (Feb 15, 2021).
COC 2.8 - Do not promote ideologies harmful to public safety.
Examples include: Covid misinformation, anti-vaccination, QAnon.
This part in general. It is worrying that they think they can be the arbiters of truth, that they will pick what information will and will not be allowed. Yes I know it is a privately own site but this makes me a bit ill. It is no secret that I am trying to find a new site and leave FA but since they are the mainstream site it is difficult to find another place to go.
I've thought in the past about making my own site but I lack the knowledge, skills and finances for that venture. If anyone has any ideas on where to go please ping me.
And to clarify. I do not support QAnon, but I also don't trust mainstream media and to hear the site owners and moderates parrot the MSM scares me. I've already survived a few purges, doubt they will allow a fence sitter like me to stay on the fence.
I want to go back when things weren't all political or racial.

Although I'm not going to lie, it's a guilty pleasure going through some submissions, either journal or art and seeing people from the US engaging in what seems to be a "comment-barfight" over why one rich and old pervert is better then the other rich and old pervert.
