Changing Twitter link

Posted by DesDrawings - May 17th, 2024


Basically, it seems I'm not, like, shadowbanned, but twitter's algorithm got my stuff either hidden or 'blocked'. So I'm moving to another account.

If they do not want NSFW-artists, why even give them the time of day? There are alternatives.
One of which being Bsky/Bluesky Social, which you already seem to have. How are you faring with that service?

In all honesty, it's going veeery slow. Not many people use bluesky, since Twitter is their comfort zone. Sad, but it is what it is. I still try to bring content in there and stuff

@DesDrawings Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. :)

I suppose Twitter is still the place to go for big numbers - as well as right wing- and left wing-propaganda. But on the other hand: Everybody in their right mind _genuinely_hates_ Twitter and is either 'this' close to quitting it or already uses the 3 services simultaneously (Mastodon being the third, but it's not good for "big numbers" either). One has to wonder how meaningful numbers on Twitter really are in this day and age.

You don't seem to have a Patreon or Ko-Fi. Do you get any kind of 'kickback', valuable user feedback or other benefits from using Twitter (or Bluesky, while we're at it)?

Nope! I thought about making a Patreon, but I draw for fun, and I don't want to make people think I'm taking advantage of them. Of course, they could voluntarily support me, but that might put pressure on people thinking I'm just there for the money, maybe? Not sure how to explain it.

And, usually, I don't get any feedback. Mostly it's good or it's bad. I'm up to hear constructive criticism, of course. I'm never perfect, nor the best, but I sure can get better.

Summing it up, most of the time I don't get any benefit at all, but people's support. Don't get me wrong, that's AMAZING and I truly appreciate it. But, from the benefits you present, nope.
