General
I kinda feel like social media kinda went off without me, making me feel super old. I feel like if I wanted to get serious about my hobbies again, I should have a social media presence so people can find me.
I also know some furry artists who post nice exclusives on their Twitter, and I wouldn't be able to like or comment anonymously.
But gee willikers, why does everything gotta be so toxic? Why is bad news always front page, and extremely important event stuff being told on a dot-COM website (therefore commercial, controlled by a social media company, when it really ought not)? Why do people gotta keep labeling each other and themselves, and attacking over labels, while also pretending that that's what's progressive now?
I just wanna have nice things! Responding with "ain't isn't so bad IF you etc." won't make it any less stressful. I just don't wanna play that game.
(Also, with my embarrassing interests, I kinda like being less known. I kinda feel like that's the reason I don't tag my scraps here.)

Unfortunately, it's also easier to upload art there, because you don't need to think of titles and descriptions. So a lot of artists prefer posting there. However, it's much worse for browsing art than any focused website because even on the media tab, you have to scroll through memes and reaction images and whatever else.
It really is a recipe for disaster, and a shame that it gets as much prominence and market share as it does, but such is the way of the world at times
