Man I would be all for this except I don't believe for one hot second that the antis actually want a solution to their "problem".
The ones who are about to swarm all over the notes telling me to pee my pants aren't even trying to pretend they want a solution. But I'm gonna take a gamble that those assholes never would've gained so much clout if there weren't some problem there to solve.

somehow this seems a bit opposite the views espoused by your earlier reblog re: pedo fics... idk tho : P
Sigh, always with the pedo fixation, regardless of anything anyone actually said or focused on.
Strangely enough, it's possible to not share some people's delicate sensibilities about having to scroll past squicky fic, but still think it'd be cool for them to have a space that'd enforce their sensibilities locally as community standards. As long as they aren't running roughshod over everyone else's communities and preferred ways of tackling touchy subjects.

If you dont want to see shit on AO3, it will literally be in the tags so you can avoid it. This isnt necessary
Think of it as calling the loudest, most performative assholes' bluff. They want to force other people's cultural hub to whittle itself down to their definition of a 'safe space,' because they 'don't have the resources to build their own'? Here are the resources, gift-wrapped. If they prove to have a shred of interest in creating rather than destroying, and actually use said resources... oh nooo, some people get helped and nobody gets hurt.

You are setting yourself up for sooooo much work. And honestly, sadly-- I don't think you'll get the appreciation and gratitude you deserve. I hope I'm wrong. You deserve a medal. <3
I figure Wordpress on shared hosting is about as point-and-click as it gets... don't worry though, if I set up HTTPS for someone and they blow it off as nothing, they're getting a detailed walkthrough of installing certs manually on Apache. "Just in case I'm not there when this one expires."
