Hi Folks 🙂
Last week Telegram deleted our AoZ channel.
Not wishing to just roll over, we’re going to have another go, with a slightly different approach. You can find the new Art of Zoo channel here:
Our Telegram support account remains the same so you can still contact us there.
We’ve also gone ahead and opened a new Twitter account too. You can visit our Twitter / X page here:
THE FULL STORY
Our Telegram channel was an experiment, and as expected Telegram closed it. If you were a member of the channel, you’ll know that we were very careful to keep things clean – there was no porn in there, nothing explicit.
Despite the clean channel, Telegram said it was illegal, even if a few tasteful nudes really aren’t. It’s not our first rodeo, we’ve had lames trying to shut us down for years so the channel closure was not a huge surprise. It was surprising it lasted as long as it did, around 2 years I guess.
The channel was kinda useful, so we’ll give it another go. This time we will keep the channel completely clean and use it solely to stay in touch with our Members re. updates and other AoZ news. There is a very good chance they will delete that channel also, but we won’t know for sure unless we try it.
TWITTER/X
The same applies to Twitter/X – they have specific terms about bestiality, but everyone’s definition of bestiality is slightly different. At the moment, Twitter’s definition is fairly relaxed- softcore, implied, and erotic stuff they don’t seem to mind.
For now. Terms change in a heartbeat though, many of you will remember what Fetlife did, and what Visa/Mastercard did, among others. At any time Twitter/X can tighten up, and ban everyone.
I join Twitter reluctantly, and only because after an attack we generally make a point of coming back a bit harder. I know Twitter/X is in vogue presently, but I’m always reluctant to rely on 3rd party platforms for anything. We can use it as another point of contact for Members, we can never have enough contact points. If it starts becoming a headache, I’ll delete the profile. Hopefully, they won’t get closed too quickly – or, that they get closed immediately, so we don’t have to expend further brainpower on them.
AZTEC
We have set up an Art of Zoo Telegram Emergency Channel (AZTEC) that we will use as an emergency broadcast system in the event of any channel closures, site closures or other communication attacks. Please join the AZTEC channel so we can let you know what’s going on. You can join the AZTEC channel here:
STAYING IN TOUCH
Staying in touch is important, because ‘united we stand’ and all that. If you are interested in news and updates @ Art of Zoo I strongly recommend joining our newsletter. Our newsletter is always our main means of communicating with our Members, and for the most part, it does not rely on other people’s opinions or rules i.e. it’s not so easily attacked. We don’t send newsletters often, every few months usually – so we won’t be hammering your inbox. We’ll leave the hammering of inboxes to Dangerous, it’s his job 🙂
Meanwhile, thanks for bearing with us, and speak to you all soon.
