can we bring back flagging in a major way in 2026 ??

Hi, anon, thanks for your question!

So, the flagging system is a piece of queer cultural history. It was utilized while cruising to indicate what kind of sexy fun people were looking to get up to. Guide below:

So, a couple different examples!

The first is a slightly modern take on the original system, developed by gay men in the 40s and 50s.

The second and third are examples from lesbian S&M magazines from the 70s and 80s. The system was adapted for dykes by groups like Samois, the first lesbian S&M organization in the US, and the legacy lives on in groups like Women of Drummer.

So, I utilize my tagging system to organize different kinds of content and play! Hope this helps!

Today I have learned about Hanky code, rings, and flagging.

What a cool way to signal

I wonder if anyone flagging was ever accosted by members of organizations that also used bandanas to signify which organization they represented.

the hanky code (2025)

i got tired of too many hanky code charts with old info / incomplete info. too much cross referencing. so here’s a complete list of what i have been able to find as posting this (12/17/25)
happy cruising, freaks

if you would like a live document version, here’s the actual spreadsheet

So some random person “accidentally” reported my account. Not even sure that is possible, but if I get termed I will definitely be making a backup. I don’t even know how you manage to dO something like that. Reported for sending harmful spam.

Update; so I was informed by a helpful comm im in: people often send things like this before sending a link. I have enough internet literacy to block these people and refuse to click on suspicious shit but I’m making this post as a flag to other users.🚩🚩🚩Do not respond to things like this.

I love flagging. I love going out in public and letting everyone know I’m a faggot looking for a rough and tumble lover.

Was feelin a vibe

Okay, so I’ve been thinking the closer we get to November, the Duffer Brothers really love 80s movies and culture. They’ve also been handling the topic of LGBTQ+ culture during this era very well as well. So, I have a hard time believing they wouldn’t know about flagging. Am I overthinking? Maybe, but I can’t be the only one.

Googling flagging for reasons and found out about the key code and basically flagging a la carabiner instead of handkerchiefs

Anyway this is how I learn that as an undergrad I was accidentally potentially signaling that I was lesbian/bisexual/non-binary and also a bottom for four years with 0 awareness

I don’t think I was even out as non-binary for three of ‘em

Idk if anyone else does this but i always report advertising and ai posts as inappropriate or malicious. It wont change anything but its a minuscule thing that makes me feel happy and in control.
