Should I get a Twitter?
4 years ago
I kinda been mulling this over quite a bit and it feels like I am too late to kinda get in on the Twitter thing that several years ago everyone heralded as a great thing and even drew r34 of the blue bird and now it seems that it is the common opinion to decry it as more toxic than if we detonated nukes at the third layer of Hell.
I feel like I want to try my hand at the twitter thing just to see if I can get more feedback on my stuff, but I also had a bit of a moral stance against Twitter because I do believe that it is a cesspool even before it was cool to hate it (I am such a hipster rebel) but I also have to be honest that it is more laziness and apathy that prevented me from getting a Twitter than my moral stance.
I guess I just want to ask people if they get more views on Twitter than here if you keep up both places. I guess another thing with Twitter is that you can link it to Discord servers for more exposure than just posting the bare pics themselves; also as an aside do people have their own Discord servers solely for their art? I am technically in several discords for artists but I never just jump into any at will because I feel like the point of Discord is to speak, not just be an art gallery. I mean I do have my own Discord that I post my own art and even invite others to post but the point of that Discord was to set up my Pokemon game and there are only a dozen people total, I didn't make my art the centerpiece of the server.

I still wouldn't get Twitter. The staff are as trashy, unkind, and ruthless as the people who use it. Parler or Minds would be better. To my surprise, there's actually quite a bit of furs on Parler, and Minds literally pays you to post content (but it's in the form of cryptocurrency).


lol @ suggesting parler as a better place to go to than twitter

OP
Well is it because it has very little people on it or because it is somehow more toxic than Twitter?

It's known for being essentially a social network for the Alt Right. Not great.

Twitter is useless as an art gallery.

Very true, it is near useless as an art repository but I meant more for exposure but maybe that is also not a good thing for other reasons.


I would suggest Pillowfort. though it maybe $5 to join it but it's well worth it

I actually do have a Pillowfort, a friend got me in but I haven't really done much with it, maybe I should try to go back and do something with it.


It's more organized then Twitter
