are they saying nice things? as soon as you said private servers I assumed they were talking shit and was like good. don’t post that anywhere people might see

oakenorcrist.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah nice things! like, raving about how much they love these stories etc. obviously keep the negativity shit private but that’s not what this is

thankfuckitsfriday.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah don’t be shy, leave authors nice comments!

Worse, it's counterproductive.
If you don't tell the author you like their stuff they'll think people don't like their stuff, and they'll stop making the stuff.

absolutely, can confirm. Also I feel it's likely born out of this ridiculous purity culture that's all about how "nobody can know I like this perverted thing". People really need to grow up and learn to stop policing themselves and others for what's "acceptable"
