So yeah, lots bad happening with the bird site.

I first hopped on Tw*tter ten years ago when I was new in the fandom. It was a great place to meet other furs, many of whom grew to be incredible friends that I’m still close to today. I loved being able to see other artists’ work, visit cons I couldn’t travel to and connect with some very interesting and creative creatures. It meant a lot to me to stay connected with other furs and there have been some incredible moments over the years. A truly wonderful space.

But it stopped being that at a certain point. Too much of the non-fur world seemed to leak into it at times. The countless algorithm changes meant I wasn’t seeing the same lovely artists very much. Now, that horrible man-child who bought it is turning it into an even more toxic place to be in.

I just can’t abide any longer. I’m jumping ship to Mastodon.

One of the best things I used to look forward to was completing a piece of art and getting a chance to tweet it to others. I loved the interactions and the conversations that happened with every art post. Over the last while, the interactions became fewer and fewer. The joy more or less slipped away.

So, I’ve decided to more or less wind down my Tw*tter presence and will be sharing on Mastodon. I’ve only been there a day and I can already tell you it’s like a breath of fresh air.

Sign up if you haven’t already (and if the servers aren’t too busy) and let’s continue the conversation there. I’d be happy to see you there!
