I have literally never used it admittedly
Mine feels less depressing than Twitter but tbf my main twitter is almost all pandemic accounts algorithmically now
Yeah it dived quickly from "ha ha we can talk about our Interests again" to everyone just talking about how impossible it is to have an independent career in the arts with the slow death of twitter
:’) Yeah i think my depronssion might be stemming from going from a Fandom Twitter to a feed saturated with opinions on current events
well, wherever you follow me to, I can guarantee that I will only be talking about MY NEW DOUJINSHI KISS ME QUICK!, WHICH YOU CAN NOW PREORDER AT YAMFAMCOMICS.COM/STORE--
what's it like over there? can you post adult content?
alula_fujotings: Yes you can post adult content! It works on an autoflag system though- You can’t tag r18 work yourself, you have to hope(or not hope?) the bots will catch your peepee drawing and mark it as adult content...
huh, that's interesting... i signed up for the waitlist but i'm not sure if i can do yet another place that isn't NSFW friendly
alula_fujotings: as far as vibes, it is basically twitter the squeakquel (down to the UI, its practically a 1:1 twitter clone). It’s fairly active, but still growing. Currently my feed is full of despondent Opinions, though 😭
alula_fujotings: AFAIK there are no anti-nsfw policies yet? we shall see... i personally wish i could tag the nsfw filter on my own posts though, since i had a drawing with kidnapping/drugging/implied noncon and i know not everyone wants to see that, but it wasnt autotagged bc there was no nudity RIP
nakbags: that could be a slippery slope real quick. i wish people would be willing to check out here more/other alternatives that are lowkey better/have more range
nakbags: well if you ever get an invite code, send it my way so i can see for myself LOL
alula_fujotings: i personally like pillowfort the best tbh! but its not as active and isnt fertile ground for microblogging and shitposting... a successful social media webbed site must have a healthy population of shitposts imo
also lemme check if i have an invite code! brb
nakbags: i can't get into PF and i think it's because of what you're talking about it LOL i could just never put it into words
alula_fujotings: YEAH imo part of why tumblr still thrives despite being broken af with poor nsfw policy and poor moderation is its great for microbloggins, joke posts, art posts, long form posts, everything... pillowfort COULD potentially be a good tumblr replacement but ppl gotta actually use it LMFAO myself... included... OTL
nakbags: i check it from time to time but you're right we gotta be more proactive
alula_fujotings: SAME i am a time-to-time checker... i simply do not want to have to work to make a social media place interesting... why cant it just be fun already without us having to do anything LMFAO (/knows thats not how this works)
what's your bluesky since i have one now hehehe 👀
ok didnt know it would shorten that to just “Bluesky”
I am EVILOWLWORDS since the link decided to be weird LOL
it took me right to you uwuw
just read the top post and you like hit the nail on the head. I do totally feel that same like weird feeling, it's so sad DX
cohost seems to be good at shitposting and is nsfw friendly, but I barely use it for reasons I can't ascertain
i wonder if bluesky will be more fun after the pain period dies down a bit. if that will even happen. cuz yeah, right now it's just really depressing. but also, i don't see a way for fandom to thrive on bsky if there's no filtering and no tagging!
So... my current prediction is that bluesky will be a fair replacement for non-fandom people, cuz it's easy to use as a twitter clone, for like, text posts, talking, regular degular images, but i don't know if fandom can thrive there
PF and cohost and tumblr seem like places that will work more for fandom (but PF is too empty and lacks easy breasy shitposts to keep the daily check flow going and cohost is just... not yet clicking for me)
and of course there's plurk, but I think the quirkiness of it is a high barrier for too many for it to truly "take off" despite it being a great wish of mine that it does take off
meatdisaster: i personally like fandom ink for the space for fandom. for one thing, fandom is in the name, but for another it has the moderation for fandom built in
oh no another thing I have not heard of... what is fandom ink.....
or wait... I think I HAVE heard of this... but like a while ago
Oh, it's a mastodon instance?
I wish Mastodon would click for me but so far it doesn't u__u;;; maybe some day
meatdisaster: i get that it reminds me of twitter the most (outside of bluesky) but that's just me
You're right, yet I don't know what it is that makes me feel overwhelmed and confused DX This does happen to me sometimes where it's like technically a really simple concept but my brain refuses to get it until one day it just gets explained to me for the 20th time and then I go "oh okay"
