I've been having some trouble with something and figured I'd vent about it here.

I've tried making a video for YouTube explaining the reasonings for me leaving DeviantArt but it's tough. One reason is me being confused with my "furry label" I guess. Obviously I think furries are great people or else I wouldn't have met such awesome people here online but I'm not sure how to classify myself. I have original characters but I don't have a specific fursona. So I guess I call myself a "furry artist". The reason this seems important is because I feel a need to describe the art that I made/make (Quick sidenote I hope I'm not sounding insensitive in this portion I'm just a bit confused I guess and have been for honestly a long time).

Another reason is it just feels kinda sad. Besides YouTube and here ya know DeviantArt was the first place online that I could call "home" and where I felt a great sense of community. I'd talk back and forth with other artists and it was a great time so I get kinda choked up sometimes even thinking about it. I just don't feel "safe" posting my art there anymore and the sense of community that was once there is just gone. I'm even wondering if I wanna make a video discussing it in the first place.

I like it here. I like the people here. I liked the people who were on DeviantArt and befriended me years ago. I appreciate you all. Whether or not I actually DELETE my DeviantArt is still unknown for me right now. All I know is DeviantArt is just not the same website as it once was.

Any advice on what to do? Should I make a video on why I left? I'm so torn on so much right now. A lot has been happening recently.
