What i saw, the Website is cool, we may post Nsfw so Erotic Art if some of you do, idk and its FREE 0US$ 0€!!! https://www.reddit.com/r/SecondlifeGW/ You can find EVERYTHING on reddit, it's no surprise there are SL related pics and topics there. There is also an option to create your own sub-reddit space but I'm not sure whether it behaves in the way as profile feed. I know others can join it and post content in that space. Kinda like a group? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to create a Second Life presence, but they may disagree. Worst case scenario my pictures get deleted. I still have access to the rest of the site. I'll still share my safer images here since they seem to be accepted into this community. 😃👍 Even if it doesn't work out at least you are branching out and trying new things while people search for a welcoming community. 12 hours ago, JeromFranzic said: All I'll say is I hope the flickr TOS mess doesn't create so much fracturing. I do love the SL community that's grown at flickr. I've no plans to dump my SL flickr... I might even pay for a 2 year subscription, but I need to sort out some personal things in my life first before I spend any more of my funds. Community is my biggest concern. I've seen people bicker at one another over not understanding the new terms of service. Blaming people who make adult content. Ect. Fracturing really hurts overall visibility and the ability to connect with others in world. It hurts the SL community as a whole. Advertising, self promotion, and many other things. It sucks, they really isn't a better way to put it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make an excellent point. My posts on this topic have been centered around the important of community and trying to stick together no matter what type of art we chose to make. We all have a passion for photography and love to share our personal view of Second Life. Fracturing the community because of new rules is one thing but fracturing because groups play the blame game is worse. And thank you for following. I'm such an amateur i'd call it more of a hobby than an art. Your work is something though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx "You’re on a free Pro membership trial You have unlimited uploads for 13 more days" It doesn't look like you won't be able to upload photos after the period ends, you will just be limited according to their business plans. Since I uploaded some of my photos there and already got likes on them by various people that use it. I noticed those people while all free accounts and not having over 1000 photos on their profiles, some of them were with over 5000 followers, which implies the platform is easily being used by free accounts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many cases, the distinction between Erotic Art, Porn, and Adult Trash is in the eye of the beholder. 5 hours ago, Nikita Neuman said: if we bann from everywhere Erotic, do we have than also to remove all Pantings in the Museum Any platform is free to make its own rules, whether or not we agree. Owners of Flickr making rules for their platform have nothing to do with the owners of a museum and what they choose to show. There are plenty of places that will not show nude art, no matter who the artist is and no matter how many people consider it to be ART rather than PORN. Given the number of paintings in a museum compared to the number of photos uploaded to Flickr, managing what is displayed in a museum is far easier than managing Flickr content. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming, in some cases, it's to get as many Likes as possible which seems to be some people's prime reason for posting at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayashe Ninetails Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I'm not affected by the Flickr changes much as I think I might have only one single Moderate-rated photo, so I'm not planning to leave the platform or upgrade to Pro. For those who are, be very careful when looking for alternatives. Even 500px has acceptable content guidelines that will affect what types of NSFW content you can upload. I've often seen a LOT of this "unsuitable content" over at Flickr. https://support.500px.com/hc/en-us/articles/204031118-Not-Safe-For-Work-NSFW-Content-Unsuitable-Content Re: Reddit and karma - it's a user rating system, basically. Other users can give you karma points to basically illustrate how useful to the community your posts are. Reddit's not really a great place for photography. It's not a very visual kind of platform and I don't think there's any way to build an actual portfolio/gallery (or at least, I've never seen one). More of a discussion board type thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what´s that Karma Points Thing? Thx if anyone sees trough that System. This is one of two photo posts I've made on the subreddit r/secondlife. The only thing about the photo posts I don't like via reddit is that text is limited to the title/header. You can't post text in the message body. The Karma points are based on how well a user's posts are upvotes. Most of my reddit posts usually have zero downvotes, but not enough to have high Karma. The few times I've been downvoted, whatever, not a huge deal to me, they're just my opinions. I don't lose sleep over it though I understand others may feel differently about that aspect. Edit: Ayashe's explanation on Karma points is better than mine. Edited March 23, 2022 by JeromFranzic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By newTumbl i also readed the TOS and they say the same NO Sexual Content, No Nudity or Explicit. And i really loved to work with my Photos, i created in SL on Animare hundreds of Playmate Poses from real Playmates and i loved to experiment with the Art of Erotic Photos later to show it on Flickr as ART, cause it was Fun, but now, it seems we have no Place like Flickr to go, with create own Groups where we could invite others and give Beauty Awards. I had on Flickr Likes already over 350 and i worked with Black Dragon Viewer. Btw, did anyone tryed out that Website, i also found there some SL Photos---> https://www.newgrounds.com/search/conduct/art?suitabilities=etm&c=4&terms=Secondlife Idk, looks rather than only Anime and Manga Stuff.

DalNiente Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Flicker has a thriving adult community outside Second Life content and I’ve been curious where they are going to end up. I’ve seen people say the Second Life user base is small (on Flicker) but I believe it’s a lot larger than people think. There seems to be some crossover with other communities and they seem to be in panic mode too. While they toss out various websites which might allow them to post there isn’t a “good’ one in terms of what Flicker had to offer. 1 hour ago, Nikita Neuman said: Btw, did anyone tryed out that Website, i also found there some SL Photos---> https://www.newgrounds.com/search/conduct/art?suitabilities=etm&c=4&terms=Secondlife Idk, looks rather than only Anime and Manga Stuff. I'm considering trying it. So far i've been testing Pixiv and DeviantArt. Pixiv seems more welcoming when it comes to moderate/adult content but it's geared towards artists (it started as a Japanese site for artists) but it also pairs well with other social media. DeviantArt i'm more or less using as storage and posting safe/moderate things just in case something happens to my Flicker account, however there are existing second life tags there and there seems to be some sort of community. Alternative sites seem to have good aspects but lack others. Trial and error is going to be a little frustrating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
