I get it. Getting off of twitter and losing thousands of followers sucks. I loved twitter in its heyday, was so very beneficial to me professionally and personally (not financially, to be clear).
But Musk turned the place into a Nazi and now Child Pedo bar.
Get the fuck out!

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X?
I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday
Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets
34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs
3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

as an artist you SHOULD:
use the word commission
post links
use hashtags
talk about your original projects
post often, or not!
use alt text, ideally always but at least often
block shit you don’t wanna see and leave those people alone
you should NOT:
be a bigot
our rules are pretty chill here!

It's kinda heartbreaking to see so many artists being like "can I post about OCs and not just fanart?", "can I talk about other stuff?", "can I post often?" because the other hellsite literally punished you for doing...normal things you do as an artist - as a person, even.

Briefly peeked at my main Twitter for the first time in a ages.
Bummed at all the folks I see still posting art there who haven't posted here in weeks or months.
To each there own, but I can't say it isn't disappointing.
I've no plans to unlock that account or actively post my work there again.

Pretty nuts, too, considering the algorithm on Twitter literally ensures their posts aren't getting seen.

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

The Twitter platform is built to keep people on it. It does not drive traffic virtually at all, even in its hayday, and it's even worse now.
There's no reason to stay on it.

Bluesky "feels empty" because you are responsible for finding the content you want to see, as opposed to waiting for an algorithm to spoon feed you content it tells you that you want to see.

Just a heads up if you're on Twitter people are randomly tagging GROK in replies to put your art into Musk's AI database. Please stop posting art to Twitter
