You may or may not have heard -
oh, I didn't do an artfight dump post here, did I? I'll have to do that in a moment.
Anyway. I've gotten into art and am drawing things, and I'm thinking about potential sites upon which to Post™ my draws.
Options currently under consideration and why I'm not using them immediately, by approximately most to least of how seriously I'm considering them:

Options currently under consideration and why I'm not using them immediately, by approximately most to least of how seriously I'm considering them:
- Tumblr: I'm trying to get off doomscrollable social media in general lately, and Tumblr in particular has a recurring problem of people just getting really mad en masse in ways that really get under my skin. And the management does have problems, people like to catastrophize about just how bad it is but it's still not nothing.
- Deviantart: Vague recollections of extremely unpopular management decisions lately? Can't rember the details, annoyingly. Also it's one of the few sites on the internet where the username "wingedcatgirl" already belongs to someone else, and their username policies make it essentially impossible that I will ever get it.
- Dreamwidth: I don't think this site is optimized for the purpose? It has image uploading (not that I need it) but it feels like an afterthought.
- Make your own website: I have no idea how to get people to pay attention if I do that.
- Just keep posting haphazardly to your discords and cubes: I mean I can, but it's kind of a pain. And anyway this isn't really what I mean by Posting™ it, y'know?
- Reddit: Honestly they would have been my first choice before they decided "hey let's jump directly down the enshittification slide by charging unreasonable fees for API use!"
- Use Artfight as an art-posting site: They have fairly tight restrictions on what kind of art can be posted because they are trying to do a fairly specific thing and this isn't that thing.
- Twitter: Tumblr but worse, even before elongated muskrat started making it his personal crusade to break everything as fast as possible.
