So after I posted this painting on Sola I got a posting restriction for 24 hours and my post was deleted. Looks like Sola isn't much better than facebook and if some religious moron finds a piece of art "inappropriate" he can flag it and the publisher gets punished...
I finally got a response from Sola:
Hello Peter,
The warning/restriction on your account was due to a post portraying nudity. Nudity in any form is not accepted on the platform.
It's considered as a violation of Sola TOS which is why the post had to be removed.
Sola, go fuck yourself.
Good - so I won't waste my time with this shit. Someone recommended it to me, but I have better things to do .
Maybe slicing off heads of "Infidels" is permissible, just don't show any nudity. But it is not just radical Islamists - the entire USA and networks/platforms based in the USA have similar TOS. Yes, fuck them all! One TOS I read years ago (after a depiction of Michelangelo's David in one of my paintings was banned) even forbade the crack of an ass - so no pictures of plumbers are allowed!
You did a nice service for other, Peter. :)
It is a centralized, censored platform. The @pastbastard is logging onto steem to see the work.......
That sucks. Usually I enjoy using the app.
Die Erfahrung hab ich auch schon auf Sola gemacht -
bin für 48 Stunden wegen Erotic Content gesperrt worden
(war ein abstracter DigitalPaint von ner halbnackten )
irgend ein Fuzzi hat mich geflagt und das wars ...
why do these platforms think we will stay when there is all this control and censure? Well...glad i wasn't even missing out on that platform ;)
a waste of time, as I said on top, in my comment to Peter's. I am seriously thinking about checking out all the Steemit FB groups and see what kind of administrative echo chambers they are. One I am on certainly is.
I saw your things on Sola and wondered how it would play out. I hate centralised moderation (censorship)
I wrote about this some time ago:

Yeah, everything that is centralized is in a way feudalistic and thus evil. I just hope people will slowly figure it out.
But why THIS picture? It is pure beauty, no porn, no hate, no violence...or maybe because there was no porn, hate and violence... No words. Censors sucks!
Because in a censored network every sectarian moron can flag what ever he dislikes. For instance if you get just enough radical Islamist goatfuckers on such a network then the uncovered female face will be sooner or later banned too. :-)
but images of goats are OK .......
I never heard of Sola before, sounds like I don't want to know much more lol
I'm just looking out for alternatives. Sola definitely is not.
Glad to know so I won't waste time on Sola. I tried MeWe too and it wasn't very worthwhile... Steemit and Minds are what drive a lot of the traffic to my website these days.
Yup. Fuck Solabookitter. I don't see any religious iconography (right word? I think it's the right word.), so why would they get offended?
Haha :) sola it is a great platform. You give him a great post and sola deleting him. Super! ;)
Thats bad
