Welcome to Ask Burggit, wanted to get it off the ground and make an initial post, and I was kind of curious to see what people would answer.

How did you hear about Burggit?

I searched for loli/shota communities on lemmynsfw.com to see if they existed there, because didn't specify if they allow that type of content, and I was curious if they did. I noticed the only two communities that popped up in the search both led here. I clicked apprehensively, because the type of places that allow loli/shota can be a real mixed bag lol.

I was very pleasantly surprised to immediately see the pinned post "Welcome to Burggit! We’re not what you think we are!". Good sign! Then I saw y'all are explicitly trying not to be like Voat or Kiwifarms, and that's an even better sign!

I don't even like lolisho content. It's just an important ethical issue to me that fictional content that hurts no one should not be treated the same as actual CSAM. And that people who like said content shouldn't immediately be assumed to be pedophiles. And that pedophiles not be immediately assumed to be abusers/molesters/evil monsters. It's an issue I've accidentally become passionate about. I'm likely to meet people with this same mindset here. So I joined!

Burggit also got a genuine chuckle out of me when I read the DMCA policy on the sidebar. The bluntness is hilarious.

~~I have to admit I hate the logo for this instance tho lmao~~

I'm glad the pinned post relaxed your worries! Looks like it's doing its job! Happy to have you aboard!~ I'm also glad you like the sidebar DMCA thing, I wrote that, and I was… a little sassy with it, I'll admit, but it amused me, so I kept it. xD

We also have the same mindset when it comes to loli/shota/cub as well as pedophiles not automatically being abusers/evil people. I too have accidentally become passionate about this topic. Kinda nice meeting someone else who is similar.
