Baraag is a Mastodon instance focused on sharing art, especially sexually explicit art. Notably it specifically allows loli, shota, and graphic violence, but disallows any real-life photographic pornography.
Baraag is created by Satori (also known as koi) and supported by Patreon contributions.
It has been promoted as a safe haven for content of "problematic" ships.[1]
While primarily focused on artwork, there has also been a good amount of short-form fic published on Baraag, as well as commentary/meta.[2]
As of November 2022, Baraag is only visible to logged-in users as federation is disabled for the time being; the admin is working to bring it back online.
