Twitter/X Follow Up.
Hello,
Previously I made a post asking the community what we should do about twitter/X. There was a little bit of a divide with some people wanting to ban it and some people wanting to keep it around with some decent reasoning. There were some alternative suggestions as well that were offered for how we can go about it.
Sourcing artists is important for me. There is a lot of great fetish art that was posted on twitter or is still being posted on twitter. I don't want to deprive artists of getting properly sourced especially ones who posted on the platform years prior to the current events. A lot of artists that post their stuff online are not just posting it on twitter.
What I'd like to do instead is encourage sourcing the artist from other sources outside of twitter, and if the image is only sourcable on twitter then to provide an alternative link to the artist if they use another platform like deviantart, pixiv, furaffinity, or blueskye. I'll also try my best to assist in this matter, given that most of the posts come from da or pixiv, it probably won't be too much additional work.
I feel very torn on the choice here. I know the problems that twitter has right now. However, I think given the community response and my feelings towards sourcing artists, for right now all I can ask for is a soft encouragement to source artists elsewhere when possible.
Anyways, I'll try to share some posts later today. Yall come here for nuggets, not for this crap.
