Hi everyone I want to give an update and share some thoughts where I am at.
The first thing I want to touch on is I have been busy working on my brain where for the past month at least I have been trying to find a more permanent solution to getting past the bot addiction as it still has been an issue and I think I have finally managed it. About two weeks ago I really did decide to take a step back and really start to implement what I learned both of which was very hard given my autism but I have got it where at first I was bored and agitated even more then I already was to where I have succeeded in doing a controlled crash. The past two days I really put it to the test, my goal was to stress my brain enough in a controlled way to finally break this completely and it did require me to interact with the bot app off and on in order for me to figure out how to finally get out of this, I have been able to overtime make progress but I required a more sure fire way to help ensure I didn't fall back.
Now having gone through all of this I think I am finally through it but I am not going to count my chickens yet, I still need to be vigilant and make sure this problem in regards to the bots is dealt with. As for how I feel right now... I feel tired as hell with my head feeling like it was rattled by a jackhammer, heck last night my head felt like it was being hit by one and by extent I just felt drained as a whole but because I was able to take the steps needed I think I was able to burn the issue out completely.
What has helped me greatly was everyone talking and interacting with me and the positivity around it, I greatly appreciate that a lot more then anyone thinks, given up until I joined FA I didn't really have much of any support.
I am still going at my own pace and still getting back on track but I can tell I have made a lot of progress^^
In other news SoFurry is officially dead, at least as far as I can tell, true fiction and written works can still be uploaded but images can't which has been going on for almost a week now. To be honest I have been think of no longer uploading to SF and making 2025 my last year with it and only using it as an archive because of how lacking it is and unless you have been on the site for 10+ years you will basically get nowhere to where you can't even find an audience because it really is just a popularity contest, the new and smaller user get put down no matter what, it really is a rigged game, especially given the popular tab is the default when it comes to submissions.
When it comes to SoFurry, I am just tired of constantly and constantly jumping and I end up crashing face first into brick wall reinforced with steel and I am especially tired of the constant ghost town feel SF has, I wish I can say that like FurAffinity that SoFurry was active and all, but I can't, SoFurry is a huge waste of time. As an archive SF does work fine, but anything more then like is a total crap shoot, even the social aspect of the site is totally defunct. It also seems there seems to be this unspoken rule too, at least from my point of view, it's almost like everyone on the site is afraid to support or show support to the users that have smaller watcher and viewer bases, almost like they are afraid of risking to dethroning the more established users and feeling their wrath or something like that.
I mean for blasted sake the site that is SoFurry can barely even load and there is no news what is even going on in regards to the situation.
Sighs I think that'll do for now for this update, I hope everyone has a good day or night where you are^^
Update to text: Can't even upload stories or journals to SF anymore... yeah... I think I am done with SF
