On the subject of DeviantArt, it was NEVER good. For every actually good drawing, there were another 50 fetish crap like inflation or hypno or feet or whatever.

There's an internet meme that every time you or someone else makes a big announcement of your departure, they'll be back in like 3 days. Week max.

i seriously dont understand the stockholm syndrome people have for twitter. but hey at least slowly but surely more people are leaving, its becoming more of a hellhole, which continues the loop and more people leave

Besides Twitter's terrible algorithm for recommending artwork, this tool pops up and edits the drawing in seconds. It would take me a day to do it by hand. The downsides are the poor image quality and it's not perfect; it makes mistakes. I tried it with other drawings and it turned out awful, like the Samus Aran one. It can copy poses using other characters (this is going to be a disaster) and add elements that aren't there. I was actually thinking of using it to censor nudity for other social media platforms, but it doesn't edit NSFW content... What do you think? Will they take advantage of it or will they remove it because of the criticism? Millionaires hate artists, haha.
It seems to be possibly the worst timeline to be a creative mf,especially if you're unknown and struggling with growth.
Twitter was one of the biggest places for art and growth,hell even i considered making one eventually to try,only to have this drop,hell nah.
They are seriously trying to kill creativity everywhere,but best they can do is piss people off.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to find an audience lmao
I just jumped from there; I wasn't very relevant there either, but whatever. What I do now is upload content here and on Bluesky, and from Bluesky I automatically share the link with another page, so they can't edit it directly from there. I mean, I know nobody knows me, but still...

The few reasons I can see why artists still use the mainstream sites (twitter, deviantart, instagram, etc) is due to those sites having a larger population and the algorithm. If you just make something that's popular at the time (fanart, porn or both) and looks decent enough you'll gain faster following including people who may want to commission you. Your average person would know what's facebook or twitter.
I wish most artists went to Newgrounds and be active here but unfortunately Newgrounds doesn't have that large population nor is there an algorithm that artist can take advantage. This site is a pretty niche site for a specific audience.

No one here is denying that, but sites like Deviantart run rampant with no moderation or art standard to what gets posted.
As much I have some issues with Newgrounds scouting system and filtering of art (lots of scouted people scouting poorly or make low tier art on the art portal) there is at least some active moderation of what gets posted here including Anti-AI art rules. Deviantart including other sites still allows art thieves and ai slop go unnoticed.

People say "Twitter is dead" I kid you not every single year, like I swear we have this conversation at the end of every single year and have been having this conversation for the past 3 years in a row and still nothing has happened. Not trying to sound aggressive or angry but what I am trying to say is that despite the vocality, nothing ever happens.
But if you want the real answer: there is no alternative to Twitter at the moment. Newgrounds is not social media, people won't move here because they're not drawing for a hobby they're drawing for a job and part of that means they have to be able to get a mass following in a very short amount of time, and newgrounds isn't like that. Pixiv sucks because it's pretty much like deviantART but without the nostalgic "early 2000's-core" label (and they don't allow fanfiction plus blogging isn't popular there, which is something deviantART had that was a big draw). Instagram silences porn art despite its massive boom in actual irl porn, deviantART is flooded with AI and the community has since died out, and Tumblr is also pretty dead from the NSFW ban years ago.
maybe if we all keep saying it's happening, it'll finally happen for real LOL (JK)
I agree with you tho, I'll admit I didn't take professionals into account here, only hobbyists who wouldn't really be losing much if they were to up and ditch.
nothing WILL ever happen, its like when tumblr banned porn and everyone swore up and down they were gunna jump ship to mastodon or pillowfort or whatever literally who website. they went back immediately kekeke
Bluesky definitely wants to be the alternative to Twitter since they copy its layout and its character limit. Idk it's OKAY I guess but I hate their whole MO being "twitter but not" since twitter was already kinda dated imo. but thas just meeee~ I wish they'd add private accounts and tumblr-style tagging, i hate putting tags on the post i feel like a chud.
Pixiv also allows AI images, they have to be tagged as such but yeah. iirc you can only filter one tag at a time without premium, its just not the best unless you want like a dumping ground. I swear people post fanfic to it anyway, just as image logs lol

Honestly, I don't subscribe to that idea. IMO the quality of artwork can vary regardless whether the subject matter is sexual/fetish or not.
I think the problem with the amount of terrible fetish art online rather lies in the fact that most (but not all) fetishists value the subject matter way way above the artistic quality and competence.
And since Deviantart doesn't have (and never had) any soft or hard rules (unlike Newgrounds, Cara or e621 for instance) that encourage the submitters to try to do their best, it should come as no surprise why it's been flooded by so much garbage. DA has no rating/score for submissions, no moderated quality threshold, no scouting/verification system, no anti-AI or anti-plagiarism policies. And on top of that it allows fetish art. That's the culprit imo.

I agree and that's why I think e621 would be a better place for you. ;) Its tagging and blacklisting system is bulletproof. Everything that's visible in an art submission is listed as a tag. Every piece of clothing, type of character, type of activity, and so on. And you can not only blacklist specific tags but also specific creators and specific submissions. If you blacklist it, you won't see it, even blurred out. That way, you can pretty much completely hide fetish content from your eyes. And I should also mention that e621 has anti-GenAI rules as well as a quality standard to it (run by qualified moderators), so the bottom of the barrel crap doesn't even get a pass to exist on e6.
idk man, i feel people, specially artists, don't really know how to voice their discontent towards AI on an appealing and convincing way, i mean, don't get me wrong, am the biggest anti gen AI on this site, but it is true that freaking out and shitting on everything and everyone related to AI won't solve anything, i've talked with plenty of "pro" gen AI people and most of them will end up telling you something along the lines of "i don't really like AI but i think most artists are really obnoxious" or even "i like it cause it piss off artists", this is already a won battle in the long run, but as i said, we are missing a crucial step witch is convincing people and finding good and appealing ways to take them into the artists side, it doesn't even has to be a serious or realistic thing, but something funny or that it hits pro AI mfs close to home, without being corny or pretentious, should be more than enough
Twitter controversy? Must be a day that ends in Y, that place is a CESSPOOL. Only by following a bunch of animation/gaming and cute exotic pet accounts I'm still tolerate that place.

While that meme is true, it shows one of the very few extreme examples of nsfw/nsfl stuff. I think the submission in question you see in the meme is gone from e6 at this point anyway. Don't worry too much about it. You don't generally stumble upon this kind of fucked up shit on e621 every day, ........unless you specifically search for it.
yeaaaa i don't know what to do about it, but a good thing is that art is not my only content on twitter so im just keeping all my game dev stuff on there and moving my drawnings to other platforms
still idk if is a good thing since afterall is one less place to post my art
The button isn't a new thing, if you click the grok symbol on an image post you'd get the same outcome. I think we could see the comeback of personal websites from this maybe.

Everytime I look at the site, it's genuinely worse than how I left it. I don't know why anybody subjects themselves to it.
I think, therefore I uh... think.
The latest twitter "controversy" will be over and everything will be back to 'normal'. The only thing I'm concern is that I hope it doesn't pull a Tumblr ban move in the future. I would prefer twitter including 4chan, furaffinity, da, and even facebook continue to stay up and be containment sites for the exotic/questionable users to lounge in.

Twitter in general has already done too much to arists let alone this update. It's funny to see some artists not care at all and saying that they're not moving bcs they worked so hard here. Ye I get, it's hard to leave so much work and an audience behind but you can't depend on twitter forever. After all they're doing whatever they want disregarding artists bcs they know that they will stay no matter what.
Also why are they all acting as if Bluesky is the only twitter alternative. Damn

I don't feel sympathetic towards any of these people anymore, they knew what they signed up for
Deadass and they just keep complaining and complaining abt bluesky being ass. Maybe dont do to bluesky go somewhere else. Any platform would stop having ass content if you ALL move there

I agree and that's why I think e621 would be a better place for you. ;) Its tagging and blacklisting system is bulletproof. Everything that's visible in an art submission is listed as a tag. Every piece of clothing, type of character, type of activity, and so on. And you can not only blacklist specific tags but also specific creators and specific submissions. If you blacklist it, you won't see it, even blurred out. That way, you can pretty much completely hide fetish content from your eyes. And I should also mention that e621 has anti-GenAI rules as well as a quality standard to it (run by qualified moderators), so the bottom of the barrel crap doesn't even get a pass to exist on e6.
I'm choosing to believe all those tags are on a single drawing, even though I know that's not how they order tags

The fact that anyone finds it hard to leave a site that feeds your art to mechahitler and only shows you shit by people that pay to suck-off Elon Musk is a deep personal failing. You are weak in mind and spirit, and may not sit at my lunch table.
If you're some invertebrate bacterium that's gonna be tempted to slither back to the worst site on the internet, delete your account. It's not hard to do.

Well imho I think you got something with your work so I'm willing to vouch on grounds you got a good amount of technical skill, from what I can tell.
That aside, personally I favor Newgrounds over most mainstream social media on grounds that I can at least interact with people and build a following as long as I'm utilizing whatever skills I got to contribute to projects. Granted, there's been some bumps in the road here and I've had my share of rodeos on this site but all in all I prefer it because it takes me back to a time when it wasn't about algorithms and discord chats.
If I do use other platforms, bluesky for a few quick posts and for people to see what I'm up to and instagram for the mainstream audience. I don't really need anything more than that.

I feel like this is why I've adopted a skepticism stance.
If I'm being honest, a lot of the Pro-Ai people you talked to are probably the Ai-Bro stereotypes who aren't going to listen from the sounds of it.
If you want to have a convincing argument the one thing you need to do is lay out the concerns and issues Ai has without coming off as alarmist and those arguments need to be curated in a manner that points out where the hard skills of being an artist cannot be replaced by gen-ai, and it needs to be directed to the companies using it and the supervisors people work for.
From what I have seen there are very few people able to articulate those things and direct their concerns to the right people. If you don't have the finesse to do it and if you don't know your audience, it's not going to amount to much.
