@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @ari@fedi.arimelody.space don't take this as saying you should boost anything that you don't like/find interesting, I'm just sharing my approach as another ace-spec person in the hopes you may find it interesting
tbh I've almost never actually, like, been *attracted* to any of the porn I've boosted on here. it's like 50% aesthetic for me, as I consider pornographic photography/painting/drawing as an artform, like 25% is very abstracted attraction, adjacent to but not quite the same as aegosexuality I guess, and the last 25% is semi-impersonally wanting the posters to find success and to celebrate the lack of such censorial policies on here. main exception being when I had a partner who posted nudes on here, that was different
but I do have a number of filters set which keep me from even seeing probably 40% of the nsfw posts that hit my timeline because there's still kind of a lot of it that I am actually uncomfortable with/repulsed by, and I only boost like 1/4 of even what gets through them

@someonetellmetosleep@chitter.xyz @ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @ari@fedi.arimelody.space I'm (recently demi) ace, and personally highly repulsed by most porn, but it really struck me what a drag the shift was when adult content was banned from Tumblr. It changed everything, and not for the better. I don't tend to look at or boost adult content, but I consider its presence (and quality) an important indicator of community health.
