    on another forum they discuss how to do it on reddit still, you do have to pay up for services used to evade bans(PROXIES, anti-detection browsers, phones, accounts). i havnt checked it for other sites. i dont know if fediverse has it.

    Technology isn’t the hard part of OF. Money and moderation are. Most of the big payment suppliers like PayPal and credit card companies are vary about porn or outright ban it. So you need a partner who will take the money from customers and give it to you. And then you might need a different (or same) partner to give the money to the content creators.

    And all the time you have to make sure that none of the creators are hosting illegal material or something that is not allowed by the money transfer providers.

    But from the point of view of the creators all the money handling is the biggest service OF provides.

    Big big risk here having spent last 6 years working for the largest provider of adult live porn cams, FOSS isn’t the issue but regulation and safety and infrastructure to ensure everyone participating is a consenting adult and not being trafficked or abused is a huge problem around the world. I may incur downvotes for this opinion, but this is a space where it SHOULD be regulated with a lot of checks and balances. You don’t want to accidentally come across CSAM and have that cached in your temp files for so many reasons.

      The Csam caching is the worst issue.

      So many countries basically regulate that if you have Csam on your PC you can go to jail. So if you’re hosting, and even if it gets deleted, that still means it was on the server. And that shit is bad.

      Legally frightening.

    I don’t think there is a federated alternative but there are alternatives that are at least marginally less shitty, if that helps

      I have a feeling you’re fun at parties.

      Edit - huh. This wasn’t sarcastic. Dude literally gave no shade.

        that statement has been used so universally sarcastically that no one believes you’re being serious when you say it now.

          I think I might never use that phrase again!

          I came in thinking someone would link some alternative porn to a lost soul, and it never even crossed my mind that they might be looking for work.

          It felt attentive, and I just wanted to convene (so very poorly) that your company must be a pleasure.
