I batted for DeviantART for so many years but it's impossible to do anymore. The whole site's an AI art cesspit and the fact that they introduced their own generator (a SD fork trained on DA images, I think) feels like admitting this is the new direction they want the site to go.

I'm not actually opposed to AI art, the part that bothers me is that on DeviantART, AI-generated artwork and handdrawn artwork aren't distinguished from one another, they show up alongside each other. On Pixiv, AI art is considered a different category and if you don't want to see it you can turn it off.

Also there are tons of people who blatantly post stuff made in MidJourney and go "haha hey I'm new here do you like my digitial painting, I did it in like an hour :3"

Same, I miss old dA so much. Or maybe just the old way of things? The constant demand for “new content” is so hostile to artists.

It never hurts to have a sitemap somewhere, but owing to my desire for clarity and usability, it'd be pointless for me because my site's already laid out incredibly straightforward.

Your art's really nice, especially that style you used for the pagedolls throughout your about section, I'm not sure what it reminds me of... It's kinda pop-anime that you might've seen in old jp magazines in the late 90's early 00's? Very cool.

Follow up on Gaia, I have an account, but I have not posted on there. I may do just to see some opinions and reactions like I have done with Reddit in the past.

A little surprised about the spate of unfollows in the wake of me posting essentially "terminally online drama disconnected from reality does not interest me", but if it's important to people I'll reiterate it here. I have sub-zero interest in e-slapfights between multiple factions over things that are mind-bogglingly inconsequential. Please do it far away from me.

its shocking to me that people will still take offense to someone simply not wanting to involve themselves in drama

same, I literally wrote one comment on how I unfollowed someone because I didn't want to see their drama on my feed(not even on the instigator's page or comment chain) and they blocked me lmao works for me I want 0 to do with any of it

Really long time since last mutuals button wall update, but done now, thank you for your support as usual.
In the end, I felt like having a picrew representation of myself on my about was a bit lame... but now, putting my face here feels a little dangerous given the psychopaths that use Neocities lol.
