A quick update
a year ago
Hello everyone, I need to vent about something.
Nothing inherently bad or sad, just kind of annoying.
My stance on Furaffinity is that's it's a good social but it's also very "gated", this is a furry social first and foremost. That's why I always saw Twitter as the go to social to grow as an artist, there's a broader group of different people, and that's why I also upload my art there. A few months ago however I got shadow banned. This was something new for me, so when I started to notice it's effect I got very demotivated, and I still am. Less likes, retweets, follows and comments. This truly hurts my will to draw. I may sound selfish but I'm a human. I draw for myself but I also enjoy sharing my passions and art with others, to socialize with new people about stuff I like. That has been taken away from me on Twitter, THE platform where to make it big. It's really killing my will to draw, that's mostly why I'm not uploading a lot. Not to mention all that mess with Patreon and Gumroad nuking NSFW accounts. It almost feels like there are less and less safe spaces for us, and the ones we have are too small or niche. I'm still giving a chance to these places because why not.
All this stuff just to let you know that I have made a Linktree with different socials and alternatives where to find me. I really like Telegram honestly but they are all very good. I'd just like to feel a bit less isolated.

Thank you for reading my mess, and have a safe day.

Also, itch.io might be good as a Gumroad replacement? Seen some artists head there
