Used to think this community was a safe space for all fat people, but it’s just become a grounds for fit men to dm fat women. Are there any channels for fat folk? I used to like this one but it’s a bit much now

You’re so right tho. I miss when this was a chill space for fat folks of all kinds to just socialize and be comfortable as themselves

Me too! Now I get downvoted into oblivion or get countless DMs asking my gender so fit men can fetishize me

Like I enjoyed being a heavier dude and seeing all the friendly people here just be so chill with each other. Now I barely use this chat bc it’s lost all its fun

Yeah that one was decent as well. I knew from the start that Fat Appreciation would just be fetishized so I was never on that

Howdy, I wonder if something like a Snapchat group may be nice. Something where people had to be screened beforehand.

I highly doubt that would work

Some way or another it’ll devolve into chaos

It’s a good idea in thought, but it wouldn’t play out well. How would people get screened? How would you know what someone’s real intentions are. How do you stop fetishizers from pushing themselves in? Also, I know a number of fat folk who use skinny bitmojis 😭

Exactly. That and someone can leak the chat and hella people will join randomly and clog it up

I’m late, but what if we did a sort of community guideline agreement/contract that interested parties would need to read through and agree with before being given the link. And then have a couple of moderators who are keeping track of activities
