I don't know I still don't trust it. Yeah I hear Elon will be makeing it better for more freedom of speech since its always been the Left's paradise. I still don't trust it.

I never was interested in Twitter (or Facebook, Telegram, etc.), and never will be. No one needs to read a daily sitrep of my completely boring life.

Adult Art? Possibly. No honest Idea.
Decent Dialogue? Nope. Honestly, probably not on ANY social media Site with "Likes" "Shares" and Algorithms that are designed to show you more of what you are likely to "like" and "share". Social media is DESIGNED to be an Echo Chamber, unless you choose to break out and make a splash by trolling of spewing hatred at someone or something - which is , interestingly, the behavior most likely to... you guessed it... generate "Likes" and "Shares". **sigh**

Good Platforms? I'm not sure there are any any more.
For a specific purpose, perhaps. But in general? ...MAYBE "NextDoor". Not much good for advertising furry artwork, though. ...probably.

I like toxic jokes too much to be on Twitter. They would lynch me. XD

I see adult art on there all the time, tons of furries use it for that.
For "decent" dialogue, most of the time you'd be better off actually sticking your dick into a hornet's nest, instead of doing it metaphorically on the twit site. There's some like-minded types on there but you usually have to wade through an ocean of general unpleasantness, no matter what. I've seen some, like shysketch, use Minds for similar purposes, but other than that I'm not up to speed with alternatives.

I call it making a personal choice. Since I have no horse in this race (or in Facebook), my decision was made years ago and I've had zero regrets, since.
All I had to do was a little homework into their policies/practices to convince me I wanted nothing to do with them. Seeing what they've done over the years merely confirmed all my worse expectations.
Now, if by some miracle, Twitter/Facebook/et al somehow manages to be redeemed?
That'll be an interesting day in Hell!

I'm the same way, when I witnessed my ex was FBing and Tweeting 6-8 HOURS per day before my divorce and naturally had her white knights rear their ugly heads up to destroy me online and in person. My ex's addiction was proof to avoid an account at all.

Plus I know for a fact that numerous trolls and militant WOKE Furries are trying to track down my Twitter account
cause they just KNOW I have an account, cause everybody does.

Too many use Twitter for asspats and chimping out over politics and opinions. Best avoid that dumpster fire.

After all, we can chimp out perfectly well here.

Probably, yes, not really, and I dunno.

Twitter is where everyone went when Tumblr pooped itself. Now everyone's concerned because Elon Musk is taking over and saying a bunch of self-contradictory shit. Odds of a Twitter porn-purge are non-zero but there is nothing "on the horizon".

Oh yes, adult art and RL adult photos/video are prolific on twitter!
As an exception to the rule, with large usage of the block/lock functions, yes, sometimes.

Mythical places, to be honest. All places have positives and negatives. I recently heard that Buzzly is basically going tits-up because one dev was caught out for something and left, after which the remaining dev went power-mad despot on the platform and everyone with an account there.

Whether you should join twitter depends on how highly you value your mental health.

Until Elon proves to be a Benevolent Dictator, I am avoiding Twitter. Plus I still see Ultra WOKE furries using tweets a decade old as proof people are Nazis and adding gas to the fire. If not that, the ole "You repeat a lie often enough, it becomes a truth." And many of the WOKE community has proven that time and time again. Plus Twitter can be a massive time waster and addiction, I've personally witnessed folks tweeting so often and rechecking constantly to where some post as often as 100 times or more per DAY!

So No.

I am normally utterly silent here, with little to say or comment. However, on this matter, I feel nigh-unto compelled to speak up.

In answer to the matter of adult art - yes, to a rather stunning degree. If you find the artist's account (not always easy, but do-able, usually), and check in frequently (2x / week except for truly prolific sorts, which might necessitate once per day), you can see a rather endless and often satisfying amount of such, tailored by artist to your particular likes.

As for decent dialogue, this, sadly, I can safely say not a snowball's chance in the heart of a star deep in the hottest hells imaginable. The level of mental and emotional cesspool that is present, plus the rabid mindset of a majority of users desperate to defend their echo chamber via an unending onslaught of groundless personal attacks makes it a place where silence for ones' own sanity's sake is a watchword to live by. Sadly, it caters heavily to "outrage addicts", and their frothing-at-the-mouth rabid screaming responses.

This condemnation leads into an answer to the third question - good platforms. Sadly, whilst I would like to believe there are some, if there are, they are exceedingly well hidden and spoken of only in hushed whispers in the deepest middles of nowheres out of hearing of any but innocent forest creatures, for I've not found one to this day. The current ones, sadly, make me think that bathing in a large-scale toxic waste dump and setting myself aflame afterwards might be cleaner and more preferable, followed by dunking my burned and bleeding body into raw sewage as a cooling bath.

Thus, unless you're there solely for the art, do not engage with these things if it is possible to be avoided. For your own sanity's sake, do not.

I was thinking of just uploading pics.

I do believe then that such thus falls under the comment of "only there for the art". In that case, by all means, do go ahead. As long as it doesn't fall afoul of some fool, you'll be fine. At worst (and this is an oh-so-horrifying consideration, pardon my sarcasm here) you might be told "We don't like you and you can't post here. Bye!" and be forced to be done with it. I recommend, of course, always having other platforms suitable for your needs, but you have these bases well-covered.

I do wish you the best with it. I've never uploaded any images of my own, so, on that, I've no particular knowledge.

Twitter is for Twits and FarceBook... well. Never signed up for either, although FarceBook swears I am (it leads one to a 'Names Like...' page).

I figure you have better ways to waste time.

As for alternate sites, I post on DeviantART and follow artists on Weasyl, for those days when Fur Affinity is up its @$$.

Several people that I was interested in do 90% of their art posting on Twitter, then in the last 2-3 months, Twitter is requiring accounts to see it... So I've not been seeing it lately.
But yes, adult art can go on there... but it is entirely in the air, no clue what is going on.

I have been pondering getting an account for just bookmark-and-viewing artwork like that like I had been, but I really have thought Twitter has been a dumpster-fire for years and REALLY not wanted to get involved. c.c

I'd suggest Baraag and Inkbunny, less issues their way.

Twitter I've seen used by adult artists, but it is only a matter of time before it goes the way of Tumblr even with Musk taking charge of it.

InkBunny is filled with cub artists, MAPs and Pedo fiends. Best overall avoided to involve any "Imperial Entanglements".

What’s Baraag?

It is another image upload site that also works as a miniblog.

More info here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

Fair warning, its contents can encompass both inkbunny and furaffinity with less restrictions.

Yes, lots of pictures and adult art. I follow a bunch of japanese manga srtists, and it really cuts down on the text.

Text/Dialogue wise, there are a few funny accounts which keep getting banned. It's not worth talking to anyone there. Strangers - why bother? Friends - better places. Plus as several others have indicated, the mob of cursader woke furs will be out there enacting their divine purges and right-think monitoring.

If you want the sort of flames you've had on some of your journals, you'll drown in that sort of engagement. Very possibly you could step up from Internet Famous to making the national news. Just express some 'wrong' opinions on current events, you could blow up good.

Adult art can be and has been posted on Twitter. As far as the dialog goes it depends on what you're talking about. To be honest though if you're looking to get into social political issues I wouldn't bother on most places. As far as good platforms go they all have their warts. Some have it worse than others. I treat one of them like I did instant messenger with people I already know. Otherwise I don't bother.

Must a picture have dialogue?

Not at all. Sometimes people leave descriptions of their work. Like most places.

Funny how you should ask that.

 FOX-POP wrote a journal around those same lines. In my humble opinion though, Twitter doesn't seem to be really built for archiving art, you're better off looking for another art archive (if that's what you're going for).

I will wait a few months...

adult at can go on twitter but you have this unpredictable chance of being shadowbanned, plus it sucks for any type of art repository. especially if you posted art for years. also its an easy area for big huge unhelpful shit fights.

Your art seems neutral and fun I don't know why it would be a problem.

Ive actually been shadowbanned from search reccomendations only but its lookin like it could get worse. But it -Can- happen.

While I do Hope it becomes more free speech friendly, and I have my doubts about whether it will, I think it best I just keep away from the far left hellscape it has become over the years.. Any chance for it to be a level platform for discussion or debate died when it and the culture festering there became actively hostile to dissenting opinions and differing points of view..
it’s a Cancel culture paradise, where you win biggly by stirring up a hate mob to stomp on people smaller than you..
if Elon can turn it around, I wish him well.. But I’m done with the ‘social media” feeding frenzy.. I hate enough people and am hated by enough people as is.

Perhaps, if I were to use it strictly as a Gallery alternative, where I only post art and never voice my opinions?.. Maybe someday.. but for now, God Speed To any poor soul who tries. ^.-.^

Thank you for responding but that green text is hell on my eyes....

Sorry. Habit. ^.-.^

Cancel culture is another myth created by whiners. The easiest proof is all the liberals who got banned for retweeting conservatives while those conservatives were never censored.

“Rules for thee but not for me.”

I don't use Twitter, even after Elon Musk took it over. However, I will be making an official D&D account on Twitter, someday. :) Yes, I'm buying Wizards of the Coast in the near future. Ahem, I'm glad Elon Musk bought the company. But I'm going to wait to use it.

Might be safer to wait.

To be honest, it might come far and few between but I've had quite a few really good conversations on there. Lots of sludge to go through to get it, but for the most part, a calm and civil mind can find others. If nothing else, it's a good idea to have an idea of what is going around on the social conversation :}

As for adult art? There's thousands of porn accounts on there dude. You should be fine. Just remember that there's lots of political zealots here and they will roam there, too.

I might upload a few joke pics and test the waters.

There is plenty of adult art on twitter.

There is also decent dialog if you sort through the sludge, but posts are limited to 280 characters with as of now no edit button, so in many cases, nuance and context are not really communicable. While the average user tends to be the low-quality sort with the attention span of a goldfish. I personally just use the platform for shit posting and a warning cannery as to what the new 'thing' is since it inevitably is mentioned on Twitter first.

Ok this is you making a political attack when I am asking a simple question.
Fuck off!!

you're right. I overstepped and was out of line. It was completely uncalled for, I am in the wrong and I sincerely apologize.

Ok we are cool then.

thank you

Insulting me on political crap is ok!

>Does adult art go on Twitter?
Twitter is terrible for art. Everything is aggressively compressed and anything larger than 4K is down scaled too. That said there is a ton of art, especially of the adult variety, and it is utterly littered with the terminally online, furries, and terminally online furries. Assuming you care about the compression, it can still be good for exposure or to direct people to where you actually post art. Twitter has also made it increasingly difficult for anyone not logged in to see adult content, which limits its potential usefulness to those who refuse to make one.

>Can there be some decent dialogue?
Not a chance.

>What are good platforms?
Each and every one is terrible in their own way, though some forms of terribleness are orders of magnitude easier to tolerate. Any of the Mastodon based ones are good because you can move from one to another easily. The rules on them vary, so you can either be careful to limit potential fallout should you ever get banned… or you can be lazy and make sure not to move to a more restrictive one than whatever one you use at the time.

I wish you would join Twitter. Folks talk about you on there, and share your art.

Really?
I know they hate me but I didn't think they shared the art.

Yea, just do a search like this on there:
AlexSpastic
Alex Spastic
“Alex Spastic”
“AlexSpastic”

Doing a Google search like this has tons of stuff on you.

Seems a little late in the game to join it now, unless you wanna wait until (or if) Elon buys out the platform.
