I tried to launch OnlyFeds but messed up my marketing and now I'm just facilitating a side-gig for a bunch of government agents.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

wtf is this i thought u were joking !?
"We're good on opsex."
My jokes are like a federal agent in that they get lucky in strange and unexpected ways.
"Wow these demographics are wild... My social media platform OnlyFeds is completely flooded with preteen girls and violent anarchists... wtf?"
At least I've got the market cornered when it comes to horny weirdos with an entrapment fetish.
That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. OnlyFans as-is struggles with accountability, appropriate age, and verifiable consent. Imagine that with a decentralized system of enforcement and accountability.
I mean, someone made 4chan and its even worse copies. There's certainly someone out there who is amibtious and dumb enough to do it.
With the fediverse aversion to paywalls and ads, I don't know how someone could make any money from it.
Wouldn't it just be advertising access to your self hosted drive full of feet pics on Lemmy or Mastodon?
takes notes
I think I've found my career. Have server, have feet, want money...
Keep in mind rules 1 and 2 still apply
And that person justifiably won't be trusted and the site will get hacked or just disappear after a week
The hard part about OF isn't the platform. It's payment and moderation. See the disaster with Steam and itch.io. It's pretty hard to get common payment processors on board with NSFW stuff. And when you got that down you've got to make sure you're not distributing CSAM or revenge porn.
OnlyFans' purpose is to make money from your actions. The Fediverse is the antithesis of that. It's run by donations, not corporations. Therefore, it will not exist.
There's always lemmynsfw for promotion. Not sure about an actual site though.
Tankie porn... Eew...
