i am also using Deviantart,
i know a lot of people dont like it currently but tbh its not that bad, yes things changed and people dont like when things change but its not terrible, sure there is room for improvement but that goes for any other place as well

Deviantart is feeding everyone's art to AI generators so I'm probably gonna avoid it. :( It used to be so good

ai generators grab from everywhere but DA has its own but you can choose to not allow your art for that.
its more than most sites offer.

and if your really so concerned about AI then you can use programms to make your art unreadable for AI, thats probably the only way to really be sure

Do you find it to be decently active?

eh its okay. nowhere near as active as here, but I'm a writer not an artist so I don't know how active it is for them.

Itaku is decent. Wish it was more popular.

I've heard of that one a few times. What do you like about it?

That's where a lot of people are going now until the site gets back up and running

Oh yeah I've seen some people working on there. Do you use it often?

Yeah I go there a good bit myself
