Pretty much the same reasons why I stopped using those places. Welcome to newgrounds :)
Thanks! Glad to be here.
Always cool to see another Wales-based user!
Hylo! We're a rare bunch I don't see around often haha
I'm not an eggs-in-one-basket kind of guy, but Newgrounds has felt safe and stable for my creations and community activities going on 10 years :)
Here's to another ten years then!
Bsky only works if you go full Gestapo with your filters. Otherwise the slightest give and you get flooded with shit you dont ask for.
I should draw your OC once I have the time
Stuff like this makes me glad I chose to start my VA journey on Newgrounds when i first thought of it. Glad to see you here engaging on Newgrounds!
Bluesky only works well when you pick which feed you follow alongside with Moderation Lists that can filter other accounts/posts you don't wanna see. It's is flexible in terms of customizing your timeline.
That aside, it is still a micro-blogging site, you gonna see stuff you don't wanna see and still contribute to the doom-scrolling mentality.
While Newgrounds has absolutely no algorithm (don't expect your art to pop off right off the bat),
it is THE place to share your art and interact with other artists as well. It's a good place to stay in the long term.
So yeah, welcome to NG
welcome to the New grounds family!
findin out day by day i spend here that this place has almost always been pillaring itself as an anchor for all the other SMs.
it hasn't systemically changed yet, that's worth appreciating and yet expecting, nothing is sacred so thrive in it while its there.
Bluesky I can mostly avoid politics by sticking to the following tab; the bit about it that annoys me is when randos show up in my notifications when I'm making no effort to be seen. Tumblr feels fairly lively to me but that's mainly because the relatively few people I follow are super active. Mainly I miss Cohost. Newgrounds has always been nicely stable though, even if the infrastructure for posting art here often feels like the devs are dragging their feet a bit lol
Welcome to Newgrounds the magic of Wonder, your creativity heart ♥, I honestly do don't blame you

I honestly do not blame you. Its a shame that the rest of the internet is becoming a shit show so in all fairness I feel like NG is going to see more artists migrate over here.

Yeah, the dead internet theory feels more real every day. So many platforms are either flooded with AI content or packed with botted users and fake engagement. I really hope more people start migrating here, there were so many artists I enjoyed seeing on my feed and this place does remind me of early DA in a way.
