🙏 An important appeal

General
I’m happy FA is back and safe now!
But honestly the whole situation showed us the meaning of phrase “Don't put all your eggs in one basket”.
For us - artists - FA isn’t just a website, it’s our place for work and many artists even don’t have other galleries.
FA is my main platform and I’m VERY proud to have so many watchers here. I’m grateful to everyone <3 This community is incredible.
Please take some time to follow your favourite artists on other platforms too.
This will make us feel more safe and confident 🙏🏻
About myself - I felt horrible anxiety these days.
I couldn’t sleep well and all artists discussed the situation about the website and official Twitter.
I couldn’t work and only was able to think about bad scenarios in my head >.>
Anxiety disorder and ADHD hit hard in such situations even if you’re sure everything will be fine (I was sure we’ll have FA back, but still…).
I’ll duplicate the info from my previous journal for convenience in case you would like to support me too:

Not active for now, but just in case:

P.S. I hope you didn’t get tired of my silly journals lol. Feedback and comments just feel me more connected with the audience 🥺
FA+

Just to distract myself from bad thoughts. And seeing what was posted in Twi made me so sad 😔 I’m glad everything is fine now!

FA is going to remain my home with anything art / fandom related until I'm forced to vacate for some reason.
I left Deviantart after their huge update with eclipse cause it’s horrible and I still don’t like it tbh
I’ve met so many wonderful people here on FA. And thanks to FA I was able to leave office work to become a full-time digital artist. This place is incredible and I love it veeeery much!
Was so worried I'd lose not only the small following I have, but also all the cool artists that I watch on here.
Hope FA is safe now 🥺
And yeah fingers crossed! :< I'm looking into bluesky as I've heard good things about it, but it's always daunting starting from scratch ^^''
Thank you!
My post doesn’t mean I’m gonna leave FA, not at all! I just want to feel safety q_q
