@prettysailorr Hi, UK person here. He is not a good force in politics. He's a populist like Trump and a bigot, especially on queer & trans people, quote: "gender is gender, it's a physiological fact and no one can switch". Please take care putting approving statements about him out there.
@KatyMontgomerie Hiya you probably saw this already but I read this thread/post earlier and thought it might be helpful, about legal implications of running an instance:

I am coining a new term: Joybright. It's the opposite of grimdark.
You don't have to have horrible people doing horrible things for dubious reasons to have a Plot. You can have plot and also kind hearts.
For example: @marthawells1, @aliettedb, Becky Chambers
The #OnlyFans situation is obviously bullshit. Probably this is stupid (I don't know anything about law) but is there an obvious reason that sex workers can't come together to fund, create, own, and legally protect a platform (AO3 model)?
If you are uncomfortable consuming NSFW content by adult fans in adult fandom spaces, create SFW content. Curate your fandom experience to be SFW. You have all the tools to do this; after all, Tumblr and Twitter have block functions, and AO3 has a rating filter.
Hello if you don't believe adult fans should be in adult fandom spaces producing adult fandom content please unfollow me here and on Tumblr. No harm no foul - just please leave me a message before you go so I can unfollow & block you for your own comfort
Please also remember that your fandom experience is 90% curated by you. If you don't want to see adult fandom content in adult fandom spaces, unfollow and block those blogs/that content. Don't consume the content then complain about it later.
I just donated to @Mermaids_Gender who do such important work in the UK. Find a local trans charity and help defeat TERFery wherever it rears its ugly head #JKRowling
@sussexbound They are writing about it from this angle because they want to disgust their Tory reader base about the 'perversion' peddled by the BBC, which they see as too liberal, and want shut down. They are not an unbiased source.
