Chicago, 22, very normal about things that you probably do not give a shit about. Trying to get myself away from the other website. Watch PriPara and also check this video out: https://youtu.be/vKdQl-99Sw8

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Are you 🫵 a twitter refugee? Are you 🫵 an OC artist? Unsure how to switch over to bsky?

Some quickfire tips from a bsky user who didn't use it much when I first joined, and then started using it properly about a year ago!

PLEASE post your ocs!! On Twitter I used to have very little engagement compared to my follower count and I draw almost exclusively OCs. Here I was able to grow and meet many more awesome OC creators! Just remember to interact and not wait for likes to magically appear on your art
It's kinda heartbreaking to see so many artists being like "can I post about OCs and not just fanart?", "can I talk about other stuff?", "can I post often?" because the other hellsite literally punished you for doing...normal things you do as an artist - as a person, even.

"This doesn't affect you because you animate, so you are fine."

No. This sucks and this is really dangerous.

In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious.

I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Tips for new bluesky users? Here’s some:

1. Yeah it’s a little quieter. This is because the site is filled with more humans than robots and not vice versa
2. If you’re a furry don’t use the Discover tab unless you are on the site for a while, otherwise you get exposed to fetish art 💀

It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

Only 6 people made the effort to reskeet and it looks like only one person contributed something this afternoon.

Rebeka's original request has been up for 9 days.

It took NINE DAYS for a Black cancer patient to raise $1300.

NINE.

How many more days to raise the rest? 🚮
Bex needs about $1100 to close out this goal.

That's literally $50 from 22 of us, or $20 from 55 of us! We can definitely make this happen today if everyone puts in enough effort to repost & contribute.

They're battling cancer and currently recovering after surgery.
This isn't a huge ask.

HELP BEX!

They need their cancer medication!

They also need to pay the remainder of the bill for their anaesthetist.
BOTH can be knocked out today if we all put in a little effort.

They're still in recovery after surgery.

Another update but we're down to the last meal in our house now after tonight.

We're really in need of help but please only do so if you're absolutely willing and able to do so

Reposting helps out just as much too, though I'm sorry for this kind of update

I haven't drawn enough for the past 5 years to do one of those art summary memes. I probably would have drawn more this year if it wasn't for my crippling jubeat and Muse Dash addiction though
