tumblr did this same exact thing right before getting sold. they make it really good for us to build up a userbase. userbase is very shiny, investors and buyers like seeing a service with a big userbase. but oh no! theres scary stuff here "make scary stuff go away before we buy pls and thanks"

I only came here because this is where most of the artists I was following went. But even most of them either just posted both here and twitter, or went back to twitter entirely. I think the only real alternative is Mastodon, which, of course, has its own issues. But at least it's not censorship.

Though I'm probably just yelling into the void here. I know that's on me, I never really did anything to grow my popularity or anything. But it does suck to have good insights into how things work but go largely unheard when shit hits the fan repeatedly. Ah well. I could use less distractions. ByeBS
