The current state of Instagram - eviltoast

I’m a performer, so I need my account for work and to book gigs. I’ve been locked out for almost a month due to a platform bug, and have tried and exhausted every possible avenue of support.

    How good is Pixelfed at handling adult content? I’m not even talking porn/full nudity, I’m talking things like blood, fire performance, and nipple pasties.

    Instagram is terrible with anything that isn’t kid friendly. For example, the #horror hashtag is banned and will get your post automatically flagged.

      Well it is… Better than what you describe at the very least, given that it is federated using activity pub. You’re pretty much guaranteed to find some place that shares your proclivities I’d wager.

      It would vary by server, but pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art just require sexually explicit or violent images to be marked sensitive.

      Edit: I think sensitive images or specific tags might not appear on the daily trending list though. For a while it was just a wall of dicks and now it’s not. But those posts wouldn’t be deleted and people wouldn’t be prevented from seeing or boosting them either.
