Seeing a lot of my favorite JP artists flee Twitter now and choosing to go to dogshit platforms like Instagram or Tumblr. I won't make an account on those platforms, so looks like this is good bye for some. 😢
At least some, mostly the NSFW ones, are choosing to come to Fedi.
Today, I've had a barrage of thot bots follow me on that site. 10 in just a few hours! I've never had that happen before, so it looks like bird app might actually be done. The bots are extremely annoying and anytime I write anything that doesn't include a picture, some bot comes commenting on it. There's little real human interaction on that shitty site, especially since now a lot of comments are drowned out under Blue subscribers, which are not any better than bots most of the time.
@japananon @veru Ever read the Dune sequels? I doubt a diaspora is what he’s actually going for, but if that’s the result, then it truly is the Golden Path.
(For the record, I don’t think anything will actually change. Most normies will just continue to gulp down the slop. Though I’d love to be proven wrong.)
@japananon Most of the artists I follow that are very active all made Instagram accounts or linked their Pixivs. Never seen it get THAT bad. But both of those are not great when it comes to their art. Even one of my favorite artists suspended his Fanbox or was going to because of Pixiv's attack on certain types of art lately.
I only saw 1-2 come to Pawoo for now. I hope their Pawoos will be active. 🙏
Twitter is NOT a good site anymore for taboo art. I've seen huge art accounts of 12-20k followers be suspended without any reason every week already. I think Fedi is the way to go; why go back to be censored again? Hell, they should at least make a Fedi account and link it on their new accounts when they inevitably go make a new one a day later.
We just need more people to jump ship or get active on it if they already have accounts. Fedi has way more authentic interactions. Twatter feels like speaking into a void even if you have a couple thousand followers.

@veru There's been a lot of "Twitter is Dead" moments in the past, but this one does feel it's got a lot more people seriously considering relocation.
Whether or not this is what Elongated Muskrat wanted to accomplish, I salute him for it.
