We need a social media site with an adjacent, proper archive of artwork tagged thoroughly and searched easily with consistency standards applied
And most importantly, without censorship
@Backup4now I thought baraag already was that, but I guess this lesser known archive site, Lucious works for more of that sort of thing too? Honestly all social media lives and dies on how much engagement is invested into it. That's why Twitter continues to be the biggest competition.
@Dakotastomp96 @Backup4now baraag doesn't have a browsable gallery though, that's the problem. you can search by hashtag and get a feed with all posts with that hashtag, but that's about it.
the closest thing i can think of to a social media platform that ALSO has a gallery is Newgrounds, and it's quite nice. however, they don't allow lolisho, and their tags aren't super robust like a booru is.
never heard of lucious before and can't find it.
@Dakotastomp96 Baraag is a social media site, and doesn't do that. I'd argue it's more social media than it is an art site from how its only art-supporting aspect is a media tab.
Unfortunately, I have no such talents to make a two-in-one site like this from scratch. I don't know how I'd fund it either, from how bad advertising can be.
@Backup4now And that's the problem. Everyone is trying to create a Twitter 2.0 that caters to the freedom of expression and in order to get that kind of Twitter money, they have to bend the knee to these investors who don't like porn or R34 in general and people who only have a scant idea of what NSFW truly consists of, so it's not a surprise why there will never be an art site that fully supports lolisho, except maybe Pixiv, but that's not looking too good either.
@Dakotastomp96 Many sites have at least some of the elements I mentioned, none have all of them. Until I see a site that tries to have all of the mentioned features simultaneously and fails, I will remain unconvinced that it's impossible - only that it won't be easy to start.
@Backup4now It's moments like these where I wish Fanexus didn't get fucked over the developers.
@beardalaxy @Backup4now It's basically what Nhentai.net is like, archiving western porn and hentai doujins. I honestly don't think we will ever get those kinds of things in one site because all these sites that cater to social media and make it big are ran by people who cater to normies and their sensibilities. They cater to freedom and expression, until it's something that effects their image and bottom line.
