FA Sinking. Jump to IB?
2 years ago
With so many journals commenting on the new policy and how it could affect them negatively, it would seem like this site's days are numbered. Now as for me, like I said in a previous journal, this site and account are a means to an end as I've already been striked twice for uploading SFM content before it was even accepted and are still on record.
From what I can tell, the new policy will ban any account that has what looks like a "minor" in a sexual situation, even if the character is stated to be above age. Mostly, the admins have said that they're targeting pic that use Pokémon and Digimon in their baby forms, rookie forms, or ones that "look" like minors (even though they're not real). However, because they left this mostly vague, this means anyone who has artwork that could be taken as a minor in an inappropriate state could be banned, regardless of context. And knowing these moderators and admins, it would take one troll to simply drop a ticket on someone's account and the-powers-that-be would ban the account before asking questions or giving the accused the opportunity to defend themselves.
That being said, my gallery may or may not be a target when this policy goes into effect, and even if not, there are some people who shall not be named that have a personal vendetta against me who would gladly use this to try and get rid of me. And while I'm not going to remove myself voluntarily, I would like to ask if I should move over/start uploading to Inkbunny? While I do have an account there and watch several artists from here over there, I mostly haven't been using it to upload anything. But with a lot of individuals jumping ship, it might be inevitable that I might be going too.
So I ask: Should I move over to Inkbunny, or some other site?

I have an Inkbunny account if you meet me there. It doesn't seem like a bad place.

So, are you gonna move your SFM diaper skins over to IB, in case anyone wants to download them again?

Most likely.

That's weird... It looks like your gallery hasn't been hit.

For naughty-cuteness oriented art which seems to be what FA has pointed their guns at, it's hard to argue for something else than IB. You'll find the largest audience for that there...

I think it'd be a good idea to start posting your stuff on Inkbunny and be prepared in case your FA page goes down. But please DON'T delete your FA account, nor mass delete your art out of panic. I once saw an artist delete everything and leave over something that might not have even touched them had they stayed, and I don't want to see that happen again. If FA does come for you, or if they GET you to delete something, that's just life.

Yeah you should make a backup/reserve account somewhere else.
