I have left DeviantArt 😢
2 years ago
Well, I was scratching my head a lot for a long time about making this decision, but in the end I'm gone, and it hurts me a lot to make this decision. And why have I left? You may be wondering.
I'm going to be honest, the truth is that I don't like the platform anymore, I don't stop finding horrible posts and AI art, and on top of that I was surrounded by small children and immature people, and I admit that I'm partly to blame for having been publishing cartoons aimed at a very young audience (I'm not saying that I regret having made those drawings, I'm very happy with what I draw). I really don't see it as logical for a 24-year-old person to talk to small children that you don't know at all.
In reality, from my point of view, DeviantArt has lost all the personality it had in the past, it's no longer what it was before, although I admit that very good and original drawings continue to be published (without being AI), but I hardly see any of that on the platform.
With this I'm not saying that I will stop drawing, I will continue publishing content, but only on FurAffinity from now on, since there are more mature people here and there are more decent and creative galleries, although I know that it is inevitable to continue meeting children and weird people, but that hardly happens to me.
I've been uploading content on DA for 8 years, and now that I'm gone, I feel empty inside, and now I'm thinking about whether I was right to leave, because on the one hand I think about the good people I've met in DA and I feel like I've abandoned them, but on the other hand I think that the most important thing is myself and doing the things that suits me, I'm between a little psychological torture between two myselfs fighting in my head.
But well, what's done is done, and there's no turning back. Anyway, I will continue to use the platform from time to time to search and contact people there, and monitor new comments and thefts of my art.
Goodbye, DeviantArt.

I know how you feel about Deviantart, but this site lost my interest many years ago, I started on that site in 2013 thinking it would be wonderful based on the artists who posted art in previous years, but I joined the site when it was already it was heading towards a decline, being full of immature teenagers and selfish people, I even had more contact with several of them in my early years than with decent artists. And I gave up on that site because people were very selfish with their interests, especially with fictional characters and I never posted expansion arts on Deviantart.

Es entendible, Deviantart me da tremendo cringe, y si no lo dejo realmente solo es para encontrar dibujos interesantes de vez en cuando.

I stopped using DeviantART when they changed the layout in 2019. Not only was it a VAST change from the layout I had known for 8 years, everything was in a different place and it was just too complicated to navigate.
