Ghosty on Nostr: I really like the privacy tools here on Mastodon. Being able to choose who sees what ...
I really like the privacy tools here on Mastodon. Being able to choose who sees what is a huge plus. But I think I might’ve painted myself into a corner.
I’m running two accounts right now.
My account on "meow.social" is my more everyday space. I don’t hide that I’m a babyfur/kidfur (and diaperfur too), and I share my art there with CWs. But I don’t really talk much about my little side. It’s fine, but outside of a small steady group the account never really grew.
The account on "cubhub.social" is where I’m more open about my Little/Middle side and my diaperfur side. That’s where I talk more, sometimes share RL pics (no face), or alt versions of art. All those posts are behind follower approval since the account is closed.
The tricky part is that by keeping my cubhub account closed, I end up in awkward situations. Sometimes I want to follow someone because maybe I like their art or the content, or another ABDL furry wants to follow me. But if I don’t approve their request, it feels like I’m shutting them out, even though I don’t actually have anything against them. At the same time, approving them means giving access to my RL stuff and alts, and I’m not always comfortable with that, depending on the person.
It’s nothing personal, I just might not know them well enough yet. But by not approving the request, there also isn’t much chance to interact and get to know them better, which would maybe help me feel more comfortable.
So I’m kind of stuck. A third account isn’t realistic. I could move the meow account over to cubhub as a secondary without RL or alt art posts. Or I could just keep the one on Meow and try to connect more openly with cubhub and other ABDL-focused instances from this account. But I honestly don’t know if my followers on meow would be weirded out by that.
Maybe it’s just a "can’t have your cake and eat it too" situation. I don’t have a good answer, but I wanted to put the thought out there, both on cubhub and on meow (with a CW there).
(Also, I’ve got a headache and my stomach is bugging me right now, and I’m also not in the mental state at the moment. So maybe that’s the issue.)
