The people you're mad at are long gone from staff, and the owner has publicly apologized, reverted the offending policy, and has been working with a handful of babyfurs for months on making an official new policy (it'll be out soon, I've seen the draft and contributed), and just genuinely done a lot - ThreadSky

It is genuinely good to hear this because it feels like there's been nothing but radio silence since taking back the last big update and that period of silence has felt very uncertain for us.

vaporeon.baby•65 days ago

Oh yeah, it's been a bit quiet. Lots of groundwork being layed, planning, recruiting, talking to lawyers, etc. Progress is slightly slow because so many staff members over at FA stepped down during this situation, and not all roles are re-filled, so they're slightly understaffed...

...But Sciggles has kept in contact with us, discussions have happened spontaneously on some days, and everything so far has been looking promising.

I'm sure you know, but you came up in discussion early on as a good example of an artist that got hit unreasonably hard

Actually, I wasn't aware that I had come up at all, really. I'm kinda out of the loop on the finer details. ^^;

The radio silence is still there for a friend unfortunately. A friend who had submissions removed en masse still has not received a response for an appeal ticket from three and a half months ago, despite multiple attempts from him and I at reaching out.

Aww geez, sorry to hear that :/. They're probably backed up with tickets at the moment; they're very understaffed at the moment after a lot of mass resignations 2 months or so back happened. They're recruiting to help work through tickets, but...it's gonna probably take some time in the short term

She's working with several of us behind the scenes and has been for months, while working to hire newer, better mods. Many of which are babyfurs, all of which will be trained on how to moderate a whole bunch of kink content types.

We had literally the best possible outcome from that awful scenario

vaporeon.baby•65 days ago

I don't blame you for not knowing, because a lot of people seem to not know.

But uh. At the risk of sounding overconfident,

Babyfurs kind of won that fight very, very hard. The owner is a very kind woman who really did not like what was happening a few months back and has done a LOT to fix it.

I've been hesitant to start posting on there again until we see the official new policy, but your words give me a lot of hope

vaporeon.baby•65 days ago

I'm so worried about eating my words, but like. I've literally seen and contributed to the final rough draft of the policy proposed to staff. It's possible it'll change afterwards, but it's a very reasonable and good policy last I saw it. Everyone involved was happy with it.

marzipankitty.bsky.social•65 days ago

Im looking forward to seeing it, and continually appreciative for all the advocacy work you've done for our community

Look at it this way: I had stopped uploading to FA for two years. I (being part of the aforementioned group "behind the scenes") am optimistic enough about the discussions that are happening that I started uploading to FA again. COULD things still go south? Yes, not gonna lie. But I don't expect so.
