Honestly the platform is so bad at this point it genuinely angers me. In terms of people who are active on the platform I find it the most appealing yet it has so many flaws that it's borderline unusable for me and that's what frustrates me the most 😭 Whatever dude

I love you guys, thank you for everything 💞

So I'm not really sure what I want to do. I don't think having an online presence is really suitable for me but I still want to keep trying 🥹 Any advice is welcome if you have it but I'd also just be happy to know that anyone even read all of this so any encouraging replies would be nice too

This is gonna sound so silly but also just I really want to become mutuals with a lot of artists who I've interacted with before, and some probably would follow me back IF I was actually decently present online. I want an online presence but at the same time I hate having an online presence +

Pinterest I guess is also an option but I'm not sure how risky that is with all the AI nonsense they've been throwing in recently though there's not really any platform that's free of it. Besides Cara, but it also has very limited exposure better as a portfolio than a social media I think +

So not 🐦. But I've already mentioned that here, the community is just not as large as I'd like it to be, so I can't push my art that far. And there's too much footprint for my liking anyway with bsky being open source and clearsky being a thing anyone can access. +

On top of that, deleting accounts is horrendously annoying. You can't wipe anything fully clean even if you remove all of your followers, following, liked posts, etc. because if you ever DMed anyone, they still have the ability to see all the changes your account goes through knowing it's you. +

Honestly my tendency to change names/usernames so often is an issue on its own and it's probably a habit I should work on but every time I think I've suppressed it, it comes back tenfold. +

and I don't tend to upload old work either. As an added bonus changing your username over there breaks everything because your posts become unsearchable, which is kind of minor, but since I like changing my username a lot, it bugs me substantially. +

And while I like the community here because it's the first time I really made myself involved in one, I want my art to be seen by a wider audience. So naturally I'd go back to 🐦—please don't throw tomatoes at me—but I can never make a habit of posting my work, +

But I've been having issues with this recently and it's making it incredibly difficult to stay present online.

It's nothing super serious just that I like to uphold a certain persona when posting which is difficult because that changes... pretty frequently +

This is probably kind of obvious considering the number of times I've made new accounts and deleted them before finally deciding to start fresh but I really like wiping my online presence clean. Or as clean as possible considering there is almost always a way to recover stuff even post-deletion +

WAIT IM SO BEHIND THIS LOOKS GOOD OOMF

he is golden

OHH I thought you meant they wouldn't get it fast enough my fault 😭

You could make the prompt list public before the game maybe

goku vs niikai or goku vs n25/niigo kaito

That's a lot of words, Robin
