I have repeatedly gotten into trouble when I expressed my sexuality online (example), so now I rarely even hint at it except with a handful of friends. That is the main reason why I had not told anybody about my volunteer work on NSFW subcommunities until now.

Looking back, I almost get angry thinking about how poorly compensated I was for my work. Had I only been moderating a few quiet subcommunities, then yeah, I would not ask for much. But I was moderating, I don’t know, around a dozen subcommunities that got decent amounts of daily traffic; they took a lot of tidying and sometimes attracted toxic users. I think that I deserved a little more than three or four bucks a month (through Patreon) and a bunch of fatuous ‘awards’ in the form of commodified icons.
