@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world Youtube censorship is annoying. She would never be able to make a proper reaction video to it unless she used a different platform to post it on.

@hakui @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage Same with artists, so many of them are banned and suspended its disgusting how they still are on twitter.

@Pi_rat@shitposter.world @hakui@tuusin.misono-ya.info @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world Yeah I don't understand why twitter is like the main place where most artists go? I guess pixiv is terrible too.

Literally the only artists I see on fedi are the ones that make lolicon because they are banned from twitter. I wish most artists who's work I posted actually had a fedi account so I could just boost their posts instead of reupload it.

Winning the retweet/clout lottery. As for fedi, it's what Josh said about containment sites.

"Not to mention Gab suffers from what I refer to as the “8chan problem”, or perhaps more succinctly, the “quarantine problem”. If you make a new service just for people banned from an existing service, you will end up with only that audience. What is attractive about Gab to people not banned from Twitter? Absolutely nothing. There is no reason to go there as someone unaffected by Twitter’s censorship, and furthermore, even as someone affected by Twitter’s censorship, I have no reason to go there because I know people there will mostly agree with what I have to say anyways and it will gain no traction outside of that audience."

So you get the lolisho artists or artists fine with it here because they will get nuked from Twitter or Bluesky if they post anything "too" lewd.

But the average SFW artist or porn artist? He's going to get HUGE because of this thing called "For You" where he can have a post go viral and get posted among other autists into the same thing.

It's shit for art, it has throttling, but it's like that Steam meme. Tumblr, DeviantArt, Furaffinity etc. shot themselves, and then Inkbunny has a similar rep to Baraag.

@PurpCat @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage @Pi_rat @hakui The 8chan/quarantine problem doesn't have to be about politics or whatever is banned on the mainstream sites.

I do agree that "competitors" have to be containment sites, but instead of being containment sites for topics that are banned, just do what Vidlii did and make it a containment site for people who are nostalgic for simpler times. Vidlii in particular is for those who are nostalgic for old-school (pre-2009) YouTube. The content posted there reflects that, and I hardly see any political content on there.

I'm pretty sure Tumblr and DeviantArt went through drastic changes over the years and people are yearning for simpler times. Just make a site like old-school DeviantArt or Tumblr and attract that audience. You can then add federation simply as a bonus feature and then you can get a sizable and somewhat diverse (in tastes) audience.
