Heads up for Twitter based Furs, artists in particular.

Keep Your Promises, Especially To Yourself.
To those that make a living on Twitter accounts partially or totally (or just socialize on there)
I won't go into the fine politisocial details, but suffice to say Elon Musk may soon own twitter.
Now hang on! Not gonna bitch about that or cheer about it. What I am going to say is that some form of changes are likely in that platform. Maybe nothing bad happens, maybe its fine and nothing changes.
HOWEVER, just in case, you should have alt platforms and links to new places you can be reached.
ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE PAYS YOUR RENT.
If Elon leaves things running no worse than they are, then fine whatever works, but if suddenly there's tumblr-esque lockdowns you could be in a bad situation. Have spares set up just in case and best to get them linked to from your twitter accounts early to minimize your loss of exposure for selling arts or fursuits or dangly shiny things or whatever you like to do.
If you read this far, please echo this message around. Maybe its nothing and it'll all be fine, but also life is kind of a cunt so best to have a backup ready.
