@switter Just to make my position clear to any switter creators and admins: I very much appreciate everything you have done so far. However, I am 100% not okay with #reviews being allowed here. They are a serious liability for anyone in the US or anyone who ever wants to be able to (or who might need to!) enter the US at any point during their lives - from either side of this business. I will have no choice but to leave switter if reviews are allowed here. #review
@sophiaduvall @switter we are NOT allowing reviews. also, the verification system is currently down while we figure out a better system that does not require photos. this community is FOR WORKERS, not clients. our needs will ALWAYS come first. 💝 🤓 🌟 🌈 #themoreyouknow
@sophiaduvall @switter is a community designed by and for sex workers. we will always put our needs ahead of clients'. the possibility of allowing reviews WAS discussed/debated, but the overwhelming consensus seems to be that they're not necessary/wanted. (i personally believe this as well.) we are a community here, debate and discussion is very (VERY!) much encouraged. 💋 💝 🌈 🌟
@omgheatherjana @switter @sophiaduvall Something perhaps to consider structurally would be two separate classes of "membership" for providers and clients akin to the way that #Resonate has different classes for musicians and fans.
I could imagine each class electing representatives responsible for representing the interests and communicating the needs of their respective communities to each other.

@mattcropp @sophiaduvall @switter @omgheatherjana this would be a monumental task. i do not think this should be persued.
@mattcropp @sophiaduvall @switter i cannot comment on any possible plans for the future other than to say that we're considering all of this.
@omgheatherjana @switter thank you for making that crystal clear - much appreciated! I have been a bit confused about what I saw posted regarding Lola Hunt's potential/forthcoming poll about reviews on this platform.
