{{PrettyTitle}} is a social network for <strong>real</strong> nudists and exhibitionists.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This website was designed by a life-long nudist, exhibitionist and software engineer to create
|
|
a safe space for like-minded individuals online, especially in the context of the modern Internet
|
|
after Tumblr, Pornhub and other social networks had begun clamping down and kicking off all the
|
|
nudists from their platforms.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Why was this site built?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This site was developed as a response to growing uncertainty as to the future of available
|
|
social networking sites for nudists and exhibitionists to use. Back in 2018, Tumblr was put
|
|
under pressure and they banned all NSFW users from their platform. In 2020, Pornhub also fell victim
|
|
and deleted 80% of all user content on their site. In 2021, Onlyfans almost fell victim to the same scheme:
|
|
there is a group of anti-porn prudes who are systemically combing across the Internet and
|
|
trying to get the very concept of porn and nudity banned from online.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alongside that story, there is growing uncertainty in general about the future of free
|
|
speech and "safe harbor laws" for social network service providers online. Depending on
|
|
how it shakes out, it may become risky for sites such as Twitter and Reddit to remain
|
|
online if the service providers become liable for content uploaded by their users. It seems
|
|
likely that one day Twitter and Reddit will chase NSFW users away like Tumblr did and it may
|
|
be risky for any new startups to fill that void (Onlyfans and most adult sites have switched
|
|
to requiring photo ID to verify your accounts!)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a site has <em>random</em> unverified users able to post <em>random</em> content,
|
|
you end up with some awful things being posted - which traumatizes site moderators and
|
|
provides hooks for the anti-porn brigade that took down Tumblr to come for your site
|
|
as well. This website was designed for this modern environment, and intends to keep on
|
|
top of things from day one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What makes this site different?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the context of the modern Internet we live in, this site does things a bit differently:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Only <strong>real</strong> people may join this site. No faceless, anonymous
|
|
throw-away profiles. Everyone needs a face picture on their profile and to
|
|
submit a "verification selfie" holding a sheet of paper to prove their picture
|
|
is them. You don't need to have your face and nude body together in a picture,
|
|
but a face pic as your default profile picture is mandatory.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Only <strong>self pictures</strong> are allowed. You must be featured in a
|
|
picture to post it. No "porn blogs" of random content you found online!
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Unlike some other nudist websites, <strong>exhibitionist content</strong> is
|
|
permitted here. You are allowed to post erections, hole pics, masturbation or
|
|
sexual content (within reason - nothing illegal or grossly offensive). We only
|
|
ask that you <strong>tag your photo as explicit</strong> so that nudists who
|
|
don't want to see that stuff can filter it away. This site is "nudist friendly"
|
|
by default -- opt-in to see explicit content if you like that stuff!
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What features does this site have?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We have so far:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A <a href="#webcam-chat-room"><strong>Webcam Chat Room</strong></a> where you can chat, share images,
|
|
and go on camera with other website members. 'Explicit' cameras are allowed, just mark
|
|
your camera feed as such so other members might know what they're getting into!
|
|
Read more about the <a href="#webcam-chat-room">chat room</a>, below.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Forums</strong> where you can meet and converse with members of the
|
|
site around a variety of themes and topics.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A <strong>Site Photo Gallery</strong> where members may opt-in their profile gallery
|
|
photos to be seen by the whole site (or at least to their friends when they look at
|
|
the Site Gallery).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Friend Requests</strong> so you can make some new connections through this site.
|
|
You can also tag some of your photos as "Friends only" and make sure only your approved
|
|
friends can see those!
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Profile pages & Photo Galleries</strong>: members may upload up to 100 photos
|
|
on their page and fill out a profile with the usual details.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A <strong>Member Directory</strong> to browse and search for people on the site.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We also have some <strong>privacy controls</strong> that members on any stage of their
|
|
nudist journey may enjoy to have some control over what they share and with whom:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
By default, <strong>only logged-in members</strong> can see your profile page or
|
|
photos at all. (You may opt to have a "slightly public" profile page that you could
|
|
link to from your Twitter, which reveals little information beyond your username
|
|
and profile pic).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
When you upload a photo you may mark it as for <strong>"Friends only"</strong> or <strong>"Private."</strong> This way
|
|
you can limit the audience of certain pictures to only your approved friendships, or
|
|
in the case of Private photos, to specific members to whom you grant access. You may
|
|
also revoke your private photos from one or all members at once.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If you are concerned about unsolicited messages by randoms, you may limit <strong>who is allowed
|
|
to slide into your DMs</strong> to "Friends only" or even to "Nobody." People may always reply to
|
|
messages that you send them first, but if they haven't contacted you before, you can prevent
|
|
them from doing so. "Nobody" is like having your DMs closed but you can still continue conversations
|
|
you had open already.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may mark your whole profile page as "private" and then only your Friends may see its
|
|
contents. But, this will make you a "shy account" and see the next point.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Members who are <em>very</em> shy (they're Certified so the admin has seen their face,
|
|
but they keep all their photos or profile on Private so they look to others like a 'blank
|
|
profile') are considered by the site to be <a href="/faq#shy-faqs">"Shy Accounts"</a> and
|
|
they can <em>not</em> slide into your DMs if you are sharing photos on public but they are
|
|
not. They also won't see <em>any</em> of your photos (unless you are friends). See the
|
|
<a href="/faq#shy-faqs">FAQs</a> for more details.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="webcam-chat-room">A Webcam Chat Room</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The chat room is a completely custom-built app for {{PrettyTitle}} (and it's
|
|
<a href="#open-source">open source</a> too!)
|
|
and here are some of its features in detail:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
It's a classic chat room featuring multiple public channels, Private Messages/DMs,
|
|
a list of online chatters and links to see their profile or open their webcam
|
|
if they're sharing.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may broadcast your webcam and microphone, and other users in the
|
|
room may tune in and watch your camera.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You are permitted to get "sexual" on camera if you want. Just mark your camera
|
|
as <span class="has-text-danger">'Explicit'</span> so other chatters may know what
|
|
they're getting into before they click in.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You could have "infinite" cameras open with other chatters: as long as your
|
|
screen size and network can support it (there is no enforced limit, as it makes
|
|
no difference to my chat server how many cams you open -- the connections are
|
|
usually peer-to-peer!)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can see who all is watching your camera, and you can "boot" somebody
|
|
off if you don't want them to watch. When booted, they will not be able to
|
|
watch again, and your camera will appear 'offline' to them so they can't
|
|
be sure you didn't simply turn your camera off.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can 'mute' people if you no longer want to see their messages in chat
|
|
or receive any further DMs from them (and this also prevents them from
|
|
seeing your camera - like a 'boot' they won't see if your camera is even
|
|
broadcasting!)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can upload photos (and GIFs up to 8 MB!) to share with the chat room
|
|
or over Direct Messages.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
All chatters are guaranteed to be <a href="/faq#certification-faqs">"Certified"</a>
|
|
real human beings and have at least one 'public' photo on their page that you
|
|
could see. Certification is <strong>required</strong> for <em>all</em> site
|
|
features (see <a href="/faq#uncertified">what non-certified members can even do</a>)
|
|
but additionally the "certified, <a href="/faq#shy-faqs">but shy</a>" members are
|
|
not allowed in the chat room <strong>at all.</strong>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A unique feature of the chat room are the <strong>mutual webcam options</strong>.
|
|
Some nudists feel weirded out if they are on camera and they are being watched
|
|
by some silent lurker who isn't sharing their own camera in return. On the
|
|
{{PrettyTitle}} chat room, you can opt-in to "mutual webcam" options if you like:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can require your webcam viewers to first be sharing <em>their own</em>
|
|
webcam in return, before they can open yours.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may also automatically open the viewer's webcam (if they are broadcasting)
|
|
when they click in to see your camera. This can save you a click of needing to
|
|
open the camera of the person who just opened yours.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|

|
<h2>Who is this site for?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This site is for confident, out & proud nudists and exhibitionists who aren't
|
|
afraid to include a face pic along with their nudes. If you're posting nudes on
|
|
Twitter, Reddit or Onlyfans, you're probably our kind of people.
|
|
You <strong>don't</strong> need to post nudes that include your face! Many nudists
|
|
are not comfortable with that online. But you do need at least a regular face selfie
|
|
as your default profile pic!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Who runs this site?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This website is run by one very passionate software engineer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If this site brings on more moderators in the future as needs arise, the brief
|
|
profiles of everybody involved with running this site will be shown below.
