Tired of social media ;w;
a year ago
I'm just feeling real down about it today. Having to appeal to algorithms, hope you don't get shadow-banned, try to structure your post in a certain way so it won't get buried.
I have nearly 2k followers on twitter but my posts rarely get past 10 likes and usually there are no retweets..
The only way to sorta get better interaction is to post DAILY. If you miss even a day or two the algorithm hurts your reach like crazy. It makes me feel like it's not worth posting unless I can post daily.
I miss being active on sites MEANT for art, like here and DA. Tho DA is dead to me since they're so pro-AI not to mention owned by WIX aka Isreal. Ew!
I want to try and be more active here, but it's been awhile & feels like it's harder to grow here than years ago. I'll still try tho! So if I do some large amounts of uploading art here and there that's why! lol

My suggestion is you try the Fediverse, for example this specific furry server https://fursuits.online/about , its a space that has intentionally no rage algorithm like Twitter, but is a social network in the more literal meaning.
I am happy to hep if you have any questions or need a bit to get started.
