Thank you for calming me down ♥️♥️♥️ What's the point of blocking fics? I used to think that people couldn't read them, but I read your fics normally. 😅 (Sorry, I'm slow with internet stuff
of course!! ♡ locking fics just means that people without accounts or logged out people can't read my fics. it's a good way to protect your work against AI scraping! so if you've got an account and you're logged in, you'll have no problem reading my works! I also have comments locked for that reason too, because spam bots will make rounds now and then and post hateful shit. so don't be afraid to comment if the comments are moderated or locked!!
no worries! the more you know!! ☆
Hello, I would like to know your opinion about the new AO3 privacy policy terms.. I ended up accepting, but I'm not sure if I did the right thing, I think it would be better if I left the site aside. (I'm just a reader)
Honestly, I don't mind them at all. the privacy policy of ao3 is still a lot better than most other sites out there, especially because they don't work with any third parties or advertisers. your info is never gonna leave their hands unless you start using third party apps to access the site (think browser extensions or apps; idk any specific examples bc I don't use any). And if you're only using the site to read, there's really nothing identifiable about you to the average user, aside from your username or anything you decide to write on your profile page. if you're really paranoid, you can always just use a VPN to hide your ip (there are a lot of free options. personally I use proton)
but bottom line, no one's gonna be able to steal your ip or anything. and if they do, big whoop, this ip user reads fic. ao3 is still one of the safest fic sites out there, both for authors and readers. authors can even lock their fics (like mine are) for extra protection. so you really don't need to worry about it!
Did you hear that they're going to ban AO3?
they could/want to. AO3 has more legal power and a larger legal team than most people are aware. Project 2025 is still a long ways off, but even if they do "ban porn", there are VPNs, not to mention an entire slew of other hosting sites that authors and readers can move to. AO3 itself is open source, so USA-based users could even make clones of it.
this isn't the first time governments have proposed banning things like AO3, and it's a notoriously hard thing to do. that site is a cockroach among the internet. but if you are concerned, there are options to download your favorite fics for offline reading and storage.
personally, I won't be taking any of my fics down or anything. my fics will remain locked, but if you would like to download them for your own reading, you're more than welcome to. if, god forbid, AO3 actually goes down, I'll move my fics to other sites.
but do what you can to make Project 2025 as difficult as possible. call your senators and representatives, send them letters, annoy the fuck out of them. attend any protests if it's safe for you to do so, and practice safety measures if you do. supporters of Project 2025 are a very loud minority. don't let them drown you out.
Love Koko back ♥️♥️♥️
She's the best ♡♡♡♡
