Twitter and BlueSky
11 months ago
Well this sucks.
We all know Twitter was always a hellscape. But I will be honest, I enjoy the interactions and the community that I worked extremely hard to build. If you've been with me for a while, you'll know that for almost 5 years straight, with very few exceptions, I've consistently uploaded a fully rendered pic every week. It was a lot of hard work, 95% of the time not done for money, and I'm proud of the community on Twitter that I built.
It's very disappointing to see people, including artists and friends, leave in droves. Not because I think they're making the wrong choice, but it does feel like a scattering of all of us that makes me sad.
For the time being, I will continue to post on Twitter. At the moment I cannot simply walk away from the following I've built after so long at the drop of a hat. The new AI Training and Block features have not been implemented yet. I am cautiously but desperately hopeful that Elon reverses his decision within the next month.
That being said, I want to try and rebuild my following as much as I can, even if it never reaches the point that I have now on Twitter. I will gradually be more active on BlueSky, whereas in the past it's just been weekly uploads.
I also would love to forge new friendships and relationships on BlueSky. There are so many mutuals I have on Twitter that I don't interact with, and they don't interact with me. That might be my own fault for not initiating due to poor experiences with new people.
Regardless, I want to take a chance. After Octransfur I'll try my best to interact with more people. And build up my following again.
So! If you want to follow me on BlueSky, the link is here: https://bsky.app/profile/avelican.bsky.social
If you want to join the Discord server, the link is here: https://discord.gg/DHx98MuXyD
If you also want to join me on Twitter, uhh... well I'll certainly be there for a while. See how things shake out.
Thanks for reading ^^
