dumbpupby.bsky.social for those who wanna follow there. I'm more active on that site.

Gonna resume this place being my main posting platform.

Twitter made me crave instant gratification off interaction, forced me to farm for said interaction, and overall killed a lot of my joy in drawing. I've found myself not wanting to draw stuff because "people won't like it enough" or "the algorithm will just deboost it." Trending tabs constantly showed porn or snuff if you tried to see what the latest events are. Random accounts you check can have uncensored porn and irl pics of bits, but sfw drawings can be labeled as sensitive and deboosted into oblivion. The desire for instant responses and likes became strong enough to have me checking notifs all the time.

It's exhausting. I may eventually reopen a sfw account there for game-related posts and such, but other than that, nah. I'm good.

So, considering just switching over to Twitter for all uploads and dropping my account here. I appreciate having this platform to share art, and can understand the stress the mods/owners must have trying to manage it, but there are things that should be done here that just... Aren't.
