I have deactivated my DA account once and for all. I’m gonna say, being one of the first communities I actually was directly involved in, and making so many friends there, some I still have to this day, I’m gonna say this is fucking hard to finally put the account to rest. I did leave the account to rot since 2021 cause I thought leaving it be was the best decision. Now after the AI art takeover of the site I cannot in good faith stay there anymore, I will not willingly give my art to a bot. Another aspect is that I felt like I ran the account poorly and said and did things I regret on there. Plus folks being gross to me on there too. It pains me but I’m also happy to let it go. Goodbye DA
