If FA goes down, I dunno what to do
a year ago
With Dragoneer’s untimely passing and FA apparently being both extremely expensive to keep running, and possibly in debt, the site might go down.
And in that event, I don’t know what to do.
None of the other site options are very good, and frankly I don’t want to upload ~8k images and their descriptions to another site. They’ll just be gone forever.
Weasyl has (had?) a migration tool, so that’s something, but the site sucks shit. Inkbunny is the best site functionality-wise but if I used that as my main gallery I’d get cancelled immediately. Any other sites are too small to bother with and basically don’t matter.
So.
I dunno. All hope is lost, and I guess if FA goes down I’ll just die.

But that site is flooded with AI adopts and it's search function doesn't work, so frankly it's worthless.
I remember being traumatized by a lot of stuff of there

But also it's userbase seems really small, so it doesn't seem very viable. I don't hear any of my friends talking about it and I've almost never been linked anything from it.
You will find a way to adjust if worst comes to push.
But please don't you dare talk about dying.
YOU ARE ONE OF THE PILLARS OF OUR COMMUNITY
And don't you forget it
that would change the life of FA in some way. So i quietly moved and i seldomly post here.
Inkbunny and Sofurry would be the next go to. You can post on X but furries there are picky.
x.x <3
but also if this site vanishes, a looooot of folks will flood to other communities, at least one of the alternatives will catch the majority and that is gonna be where it all gravitates towards then.
of course the lost galleries are gonna be a big sorespot for us all.
I have no idea where the most people would gravitate, all of the non-FA places are all kind of small, shit, or have sssome kind of reputation problem.
