I’ve been an on and off poster for a while, but it hit me recently, I haven’t touched Twitter since the switch to X. DeviantArt lost me over its AI policies, Tumblr feels like a ghost town, and every time I check Bluesky, my feed turns into a political minefield, even though I don’t engage with any of it.
At this point, this platform feels like the only place where I have any real presence as an artist.
So, I guess this is officially my main hub now. It’s exhausting starting over, first on DA, then Tumblr, then Twitter, only to watch the art community jump ship.
I’m really hoping this is the last time I’ll have to pack up and rebuild. I just want to focus on creating art and connecting with people.
If you're also here, tired of moving around and make art, I'm looking for art, music or animation mutuals. I don’t have many mutuals who’ve made the move to NG yet, and I'd love to meet more creatives.

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.
