re: twitter being on fire
3 years ago
I don't know if this is finally gonna be the time that twitter actually comes crumbling down and becomes a ghost town, but I figured I'd address it here too.
Nothing's changing here, FA will continue being my primary art posting site for the forseeable future regardless of what happens elsewhere.
For general social media, I've made accounts on cohost and pillowfort. I haven't really touched either yet, but if the time really comes to pull the escape hatch hopefully those'll serve as a place to fall back to. And if other people actually join and at least one of them achieves some critical mass then maybe there will be some compelling reason to transition there.
I'm not a fortune teller, idunno if twitter's gonna die, if it does idunno if the social groups I've got there are gonna survive an exodus to other places, but all I can really do is prepare as best I can and see what happens. vOv

~jarretsilverfox
He fired all previous managers, made users pay 5$/month for account verification, unblocked D. Trump and K. West, blocked Amber Heard... In general, just started to rebuild Twitter and their policies.

From what i readvafter googling it, the mods unblocked trump before the deal even happened and heard left twitter when he bought the company.

Everyone writing in news what are more suitable for them. That's why i prefer to not read or watch the news. My sanity is more important for me than some 3rd grade celebrities, dumb politicians and conflicts around the globe.
