Once again social media proving how troublesome it can truly be-!
Hopefully time away from it does help

As for me, doing okay now that I've been able to survive all the madness that was the work-weeks these past few months, haha

Oof, glad to hear you survived, though! Hope you’re getting enough rest <3

Whilst I can!
2 days of the weekend and the New Years holiday doesn't feel like it'll be enough rest for what I'm expecting to happen after 😅
Ah well, 'long as I can still crack jokes it's not all bad I suppose!

omg... hang in there ;_:

I gave up on twitter about a year ago. I do not miss it at all. And I have no desire to go to any of the new sites people are migrating to. Like you said FA is familiar and I kinda never stopped posting here. It's always been my home base of sorts for me. It's not perfect but its also not going anywhere. Good to see you posting here! <3

Aah!! I wondered where you went. This was one of the earliest places for me, but activity always seemed to be low compared to other sites so i just eventually stopped coming here; but seems i made a wrong choice there XD! I feel i mostly felt home at tumblr before they banned porn. Been wandering aimlessly since.

Thank you! I’m also glad seeing you’re still active. I have a little something to show you, i’ll upload in a bit! <3

Ayup. There was never anything social about social media, just a global collective attempt to give the ghost of Marshall McLuhan a migraine.

I think it's giving us all a migraine, tbh! Dead, alive and in between.

welcome home

Thank you! Glad to see you here.

I'm okay!

Mostly just hard at commission work, but right now I'm about to have some tacos and that makes me really happy hehee..

I LOVE your stuff, and thankfully this place has post notifs so I can's miss it!

Uy! Taquitos de que? :3c esos siempre alegran, jaja!

Thank you!! also hyped to see your stuff more regularly <3

Asada con chile >w<

Muchas gracias aaa! Trato de publicar regularmente

I miss forums so much you have no idea.

also, for making uploading faster - postybirb is what i use. i upload to four places at once with it.
i could do more if i wasnt so damn lazy

https://www.postybirb.com/

Seconding the suggestion of postybirb, so long as you're using Windows. Made my life a lot easier and it lets you upload to FA in higher resolution than the native uploader does.

Thanks for the sugestion!
Yeah, my problem is i’ve been using my ipad for artwork for a while now and i’m not on my windows PC that often anymore.

OOH! i miss forums so much too!! ;_;
I’ve tried postybirb, but i don’t really get on my computer for art much lately, so i can’t really use it much.

And i feel you… wish i wasn’t so lazy myself, lol!

Nice to see you again!

Hey! Thanks ☺️

I stopped using Twitter over a year ago and it's only been a positive. Anytime I get pulled back there by a wayward link to see a source in a group chat, I am reminded of what a dumpster fire the place was, and has only trended further toward. Stopped using Reddit last year as well too, and as it turns out, between the both of them, I sure spend one hell of a lot less time dicking around doing nothing!!

The trend of social media has made me only appreciate places like this much more. Perhaps because it's what I know best, but it is clearly designed for this purpose. It's a shame everyone insists on using Twitter as an art gallery because boy howdy, it might be the worst site ever for this purpose. Especially as a viewer hoping to see an artist's body of work... useless.

In terms of sites that allow multiple images as part of one submission, the only one I know of that does this is Inkbunny. Itaku.ee does this kind of as well, each image is it's own submission but they can be posted together, not really fond of it's implementation but it's technically what you asked for. l3

I just feel Social media isn’t even designed around communities, so they can’t really form in any solid way. It’s all an amalgam of personal stuff with “Pro” content creation stuff displacing amateur creators, marketing ploys, etc.
I feel it gets everybody in a rat-race mentality that sucks for creativity and community.

Reddit i could never really get a taste for, since i kept stumbling with redditors who rubbbed me the wrong way

Also, I had an inkbunny; but i’m wary of the site’s content. I dunno. i think i might just stick to ol’ FA for the time being.

For what it's worth, on IB, they have a blacklist system that actually works so it's no problem to blacklist opposable content l3

Oh, yeah, I love how feature rich IB is. i really like all the ways you can post stuff there. I won’t get into it, but it’s out of my options now. x3

Posting some good stuff, nice to have you back

Thank you! <3

I left twitter back around 4/20 last year, and it's a mix bag of positive: I don't miss the intense emotions the site gave me but I feel a bit out of the loop in the furry zeitgeist. glad to hear you're doing well though :3

I gotta work on uploading and posting, and I'm currentlly having a website on my own too~

I’ve been on and off myself. I can relate with not missing the intense emotions and feeling out of the loop.

And please do! :D and do share!

My website is http://avtglvjjx.bigg.ist! It’s mainly an art archive and a blog, simple but works for me :3

Big sympathies out there, I'm chilling on cohost a lot more lately, but, i'm glad to see you're still around! HMU sometime!
