sex positive is not the same as queer friendly

you can’t post nipples on instagram, you can’t post even a hint of a bare ass in a jockstrap on instagram… you can post fisting and ws videos on twitter

you’re right, edge isn’t apt: there’s no comparison between the 2 platforms for sex positive communities

If they exclude entire demographics, it's by definition not friendly nor positive.

that’s just entirely untrue… certain parts of it are be, i totally agree: twitter as a whole is a shit show

… however, it’s just misleading to say that “it absolutely does not have an edge ”

but sex positivity is just not a thing you can express on meta platforms… i say this as someone who uses social media entirely for fetish and kink content: these are my communities and how i choose to express myself and live my life… i am not welcomed on meta, twitter is a place i can exist

(bear in mind as well that the extreme toxicity of most of twitter doesn’t tend to spill over into those communities)
