Deviantart account deleted

8 months ago General

It was my own choice. I was not using the site much, as it was a bit hard to gain any traction in there before it became a bastion of AI pics after the owners decided to embrace it, so I figured it was time to call it quits.

I didn't think it was worth leaving any of my pics there, so the whole thing has been removed.

Well, seems radical, in my oppinion, but it's ultimatelly your own choice.

It supports AI artwork. Let it burn.

Most of what was in there, if not all, is in here as well. I lose the comments, unfortunately.

Its a shame DeviantArt went the way it did.

Oh yeah, DeviantArt. I've been thinking of saving my very old pics that are only on that site nowadays and remove the account too. Alas it does hold a bit of nostalgia being the first ever place where I posted my art.

I did so too years ago. "The great ragequit" I called it. I hope Deviantart chokes on the stench and dies from it.

Kind of a shame you did but completely understandable why. Less chance for scum to make filth out of your masterpieces.

Embracing generative AI "art" is a good sign that a business or community is on the decline. Probably a good choice to leave DA behind; it's been a dumpster fire for years now.

Fair. I never put any of my work there. Most of my stuff goes out through Fedi.

I bailed on DeviantArt years ago after Eclipse became mandatory, but the site seemed to be on the decline a bit before then. I still pop in from time to time, and it just seems to be getting worse, especially now with so much AI-generated art on the platform. It's sad to see the site go to shit. DeviantArt is where I got my start as a writer.

Definitely a wise choice! I don’t regret leaving DA years ago, and now that it’s basically infested with AI art, I see no reason to take it seriously now.

I don't blame you one bit. It's such a huge shame how low they've knelt to AI and basically abandoned the actual artists who built the site.
At the same time, happy to continue following and enjoy your work here!
