Lots of little changes, but they make a big difference.
----/ platform updates /----
Furbooru - Profile and commission updates. I removed eveything to sort of start fresh, cut back the fluff and only leave what's important and direct everyone to my Gitlab repo. Since all of my information is there, and so many hours have went into it, and it's super valuable for anyone who's interested in my work.
Fursona Directory - Same thing. I removed almost all the fluff, kept the basics, and fixed a few broken links. Added a small entry of text to help new wanderers understand where things are. It's basic but it works.
Bluesky - bio changes. Nothing major yet again. Just the description is way shorter now. Might replace the primary link (Fursona Directory) to something else. Gitlab link is way too long, so I might go back and use Carrd. Why I don't use my website? keep reading and you'll see why.
Carrd 1 - I have two Carrd as one of them was originally for testing and I didn't plan on keeping it at all. But as I never took it down, I kinda like reusing it for well, testing. Seeing how some people react to which Carrd is arguably better than the other. So this one works closer to "Linktree" no hidden pages. Straight to the point (notice a pattern yet?) and helps you get to wherever you wanna go. Easy. Also quite colorful, and I personally find this satisfying.
Carrd 2 - This was supposed to be the primary and public one. It has "hidden pages" and slightly more information that's taken directly from Gitlab. It's supposed to be more friendly as a lot of people are more used to viewing eveything on Carrd, but it's far too inconvenient for both of us to constantly come back to update little things. Gitlab is far easier for us both to collaborate and do what we need to do, and all the latest information is there. Still I'll keep this one up, to help with the transition, maybe do something fun here later on? Who knows.
Oh and yes, eveything there was also once again shortened, but some fluff was kept to be friendly and fun.
FA - Mostly my main bio, and the commissions tab, my signature both in my posts, and now journals. Once again, all links are now removed and replaced with Gitlab. Pushing it as the central place to visit for all your information needs. As explained above.
My Website - SelfDugGrave built this as a test, and a possible replacement for Carrd, something we can both manage easily and keep it very DIY and small. Plus we had plans to include a NOW page so anyone who's interested in what we're up to can view that page. Maybe add character lore. This site would essentially be nothing but text and more text. Lots of reading, but not all of it will be in your face so it doesn't scare people away. However because we don't push this site, it's slowly becoming a personal spot and hub. Sure we have some of the basic links there, but I think we'll do something with it eventually. This is also why we do not push the website, as it isn't really a great spot for our commissioning information.
Mastodon - Basic bio and pinned post update. Like the rest, eveything is shorter now.
Telegram - Shorter now, and starting to use the coordination channel a little more, since that one is more interactive and small.
---- / stuff that isn't updated yet / ----
Toyhouse - again, like the website for lore. it makes far more sense to use it for eveything like that, but who knows. All my adopts are still there, as I haven't migrated them to Ko-Fi yet. It's pretty tricky as it is to use Ko-Fi for buying "items" so we're still working on it.
Pillowfort - Not really sure what to do with this own yet. So it's just another mirror for my gallery, I guess.
SoFurry/SoFurryBeta - I currently see no major need to update anything there. Leave a link back to my main stuff and that's pretty much it. Not sure if there's any need to add anything else?
--- / final notes / ---
That's about it. Should be eveything and even if I missed something, you'll easily notice a pattern of changes. It applies to everywhere I'm at. Thank you all for reading!
