INFO: Changes to my Twitter/X Account before Nov 15
a year ago
Due to some changes in policies, I plan on removing most of my art on Twitter. I don't mind much if my art is used for AI, honestly (especially as a hobbyist thing). However, the fact that Twitter, or "X", plans on having no way to opt out of it is a "bit" annoying. That and I don't want my art being used or associated by Elon, haha. That and just how annoying the algorithm has been, on Twitter.
Honestly, I'm digging Blue Sky. I really like how easy it seems to get my stuff noticed; partially with the use of "Starter Packs" created by other users. As well as a dedicated feed for a specific topic instead of just a BROAD AS ALL HELL "For you" and "Following" section. Though to be fair, this has always been the main issue with Twitter; even when they used to have post set in chronological order more than a decade ago. It's kinda why I never hopped onto twitter until the late 2010s.
I also like how customizable Blue Sky's algorithm is to the main feed. I've been wanting to curate the type of stuff I'm viewing/watching for awhile now as a way to be more productive and not get sucked in as much; whether it's related to random unrelated stuff or ragebait/doomscrolling crap. As said, having different feeds for a specific topic/tag helps a lot. Admittedly, this might make it more distracting but not in the same way it is on Twitter. I'd explain more but I need to head to bed soon, as I'm typing this lol.
My main gripe is there's no built-in way to schedule post and some of the 3rd party websites want you to pay a subscription just to schedule more than 10 post. I'm currently looking into PostyBirb for that, they have a way to post stuff on BlueSky. though it's pretty confusing on how things work for right now. Hopefully It'll click with my mind, soon. It's just more frustrating that the easier options require a payment, but I guess that's how they get yah.
So this doesn't exactly mean I'm gonna stop posting on Twitter, at all. I'm not gonna delete my Twitter account (for now, unless they do some dumb decision that results in a deletion). However, I won't be showing any finished art on there. I'll still advertise and promote my stuff on there but the majority of the finished artwork, and activity, will likely be on BlueSky.
I wanted to make this journal for the past few days now. I want to make it so everyone knows what to expect, going forward. I didn't want to freak anyone out if they suddenly couldn't find any of my art on Twitter lol.
Besides that, there's not much else to say. I'm still trying to juggle a bunch of different things while getting my lazy ass in gear. Meanwhile, I've recently introduced an 5" tall Thicc Toriel acrylic standee as well as two stickers: sticker sheet and a 3" Toriel one that uses the same design as the acrylic standee. So if you wanna support me while getting some neat stuff, please feel free to do so!
