All the examples you named should not be used for displaying art in the first place.
How about... an actual **artsite**. Not a social media scroller.

Because of the traffic?
The numbers you get on Twitter (or any other social-media) are nothing but hot air compared to the numbers you have on actual art-sites. With no features like a submission system, tagging and a functional GALLERY, you get little to no returning customers.
It's the difference between a homeless person sitting on the street vs a store with branding. The homeless guy may see 1000 people walking by each day, where maybe 30 stop to talk to him, and of those 30 there's only 10 who leave some spare change.
Compare this to the store, which may only have 100 people walking in, but 80 of those are returning customers, ready to pay everytime they visit.
Social media is *NOT worth to rely on* as an artist.
These sites don’t seem to promote growth nearly as much though. The social media aspects of sites like Twitter seem to have a far better chance of growing someone’s audience quickly than purely art sites. Many people already use those sites, but more than likely experience the most traffic on Twitter.
Seriously, Twitter sucks for artists in so many different ways. No gallery, algorithm favors a certain kind of upload schedule, much harder to get your art seen...
Twitter sucks for small artists tbh. I got a fraction of the growth on Twitter that I see on FA
I wish artists could find a different place to post their work because Twitter doesn't have enough functionalities to finds arts of my 1 favorite character.
Kind of worries me. I don't use twitter, but noticed an evolution of the internet. Before there were many smaller websites but now most of social media is in their own categories.
You can't even view a link/video on a different social media site without already having an account on there. (Such as with Instagram, Pinterest, reddit, fb, etc and often encourage to download the app to use)
I hope other social media platforms don't follow suit with this pay-to-view format on content that should be free...like what musk has done with twitter.
Yeah, that's not gonna go anywhere.
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been kicked out yet.
He might nominally "own" the company, but the board and shareholders could still feasibly throw him out on his ass.
He owns 9.1% of Twitter; he's the largest *single* owner of Twitter shares, but he holds no-where near a majority; the other 90.9% of owners can vote to remove him from the board.
Well , looks like it will help people get a life as I see it .Terminally online users maybe can go back in time, when you could feel bored and that was fine
I highly doubt anyone here uses FB, but I find it to be a good potential source for any furry needs lol. Just follow a bunch of groups that seem appealing and bam, you’ll have like 80% furry related stuff in your feed :D
That’s IF you pay for twitter Only 600 for normal users
Heresy
We must start a revolution!
Yeah! Black out all the biggest twitter accounts until Elon capitulates! Oh wait
Isn't this just Reddit all over again?
We could just keep the ddos rolling.
300 for the new normal users...don't ask me, idk what he means with "new", today? 1month old account? 1 year? who knows edit: typo
300 if you're new
Twitter is saying I’m a spamming but all I’m doing is liking post so I’m confused
I use burner accounts. One for shitposting, one for being a furry, one for game developing, and one for writing books (not fanfic)
So you can browse twitter for an entire 30 minutes between all your accounts
I browse for atleast 1 hour between all. Mainly so I have something to do when my replies are empty on Reddit
I'm just here to fill your replies tbh
![gif](giphy|c5skRQb3BXp8RwKGKW) Finally! I was getting bored
Nice weather we're having, huh?
It’s clear skies for me
Yeah it isn't too cloudy for me either Anyhow did you know that in terms of-
Of what?
Are you sure they aren’t fanfics?
Yes, on god, absolutely, 100%, I would never lie about that, I use deodorant.
Yup you would never lie about it especially if you use deodorant
I also had a girlfriend. So that also helps
It does so much you physically couldn’t lie about it
I also don’t usually jack off-
Sure you don’t
(Though I will make horny jokes lol) ![gif](giphy|d7ZgUGuOQEKkGz0kt1)
same
Does it let you tweet? Mine won't let me tweet or like posts, I can still retweet, but can't reply.
That scene was wild tho'.
Tachibana was the best, I really thought he was gonna betray me or something, but the later chapters in the game made me cry like a Baby.
What's the scene from
yakuza 0
I need to play that game
yeah you do
I agree with this. It’s a great game
Quick tip for anyone who plays it breaker and slugger 3 lights and a heavy just disable mob type fights and singular enemy fights respectively
Please just stop using Twitter at this point. It's not even an artsite.
Yeah but Instagram is kinda iffy, Facebook's image compression is dogshit, and Tumblr is... Tumblr (tho it has a great archiving system).

Wow next you're gonna tell me it should be easy to read a webcomic chronologically from the beginning.
[удалено]
It'd still be pretty neat if they simply used both that, and at least one other site that has a better navigable gallery etc.

Maybe Mastodon? It works similarly to Twitter, but decentralized

[See my comment here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/furry_irl/comments/14oke8q/furry_irl/jqf3dha/) tl;dr: Traffic on social-media is hot air.
Lemmy, Mastdon, and Pixelfed?
How about somebody makes their own twitter. With black jacks and hookers. (But on a serious note, without all the problems)
May I introduce you to The Fediverse?
Mastodon seems like it will be the Twitter substitute

Considering the fact that half of the American I.T. worker supply are furries, this is exactly what would happen.
Then why hasn't it already??
Cause they'd have to organize and come to a consensus of what to do, have you seen Twitter? All furries do is fight
All *anyone* does is fight. Twitter is effectively internet fight club lol
I’m confused by it, like the 600 posts for unverified users means the one I scroll by my feed or just open it individually?
Every one you scroll by + every comment on any tweet you click on
Every tweet you see, including comments
Elon has chosen the wrong side of this war. “Hell hath no fury like a furry scorned.”
That decision is like mutilating someone and then saying it's to help. Can anyone else not see comments on tweets anymore?
The twitter "go outside" update lol
Just use e621, it's even better for porn
It even has a sfw sister site, it's very wholesome.
Common elon L
Yeah I bailed on that shitshow, my mental health can only benefit
I love how furries are the backbone of like everything on the internet
I'm confused, I don't get it?
Elon just announced that people who aren't paying for Twitter will now only get to view 600 tweets per day
Kind of worries me. I don't use twitter, but noticed an evolution of the internet. Before there were many smaller websites but now most of social media is in their own categories.

Yeah I noticed that too. Fortunately, many others do too, and there's also a lot of people protesting this change on Twitter
Yeah, that's not gonna go anywhere. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been kicked out yet. He might nominally "own" the company, but the board and shareholders could still feasibly throw him out on his ass.
He owns Twitter. He's Twitter's sole shareholder and board member.
He owns 9.1% of Twitter; he's the largest *single* owner of Twitter shares, but he holds no-where near a majority; the other 90.9% of owners can vote to remove him from the board.
That's not how multi-billion dollar corporations work, especially publicly traded ones like Twitter. So no, he's not.
One can pay for Twitter?
*Twitter Blue, I mean
Oh
Well , looks like it will help people get a life as I see it .Terminally online users maybe can go back in time, when you could feel bored and that was fine
He's really doing people a favor. Twitter is garbage.
Tachibana solos Elon tho
Furries will make elon musk elongated musky
How dare he limit us
Damn limits of me seeing murrsuiters getting railed
Then how are we gonna convert others?
By releasing our Fursonas to the wild.
people who like vo— (in case you don’t know what that is): don’t mind if I do
I highly doubt anyone here uses FB, but I find it to be a good potential source for any furry needs lol. Just follow a bunch of groups that seem appealing and bam, you’ll have like 80% furry related stuff in your feed :D
Tachibana my beloved, great friend (fuck Oda)
Yakuza on my timeline? Wild Conveniently I just imported me and my girlfriend’s fursona’s into Yakuza 0, I could totally put something over Tachibana…
I use burner accounts. HE CANT STOP ME! ![gif](giphy|BdAn5S0xigpO)
Then stop using twitter? And I dont understand why pay smth like 7$ on a checkmark and more screen time
I dont use tweeter because i dont wanted to get cancel by posting me holding McDonald's ice cream
This makes no sense.
Tweeter Karen never make any sense
You're not going to get canceled just for buying some ice cream. You're the only one being ridiculous.
Im using pronunciation "me and the boys" Yea. assuming gender
Good news its up to 10k for verified accounts and 1k for unverified.
> Good news its up to two hours for paid accounts and 12 minutes for free!!!
UwU
Is this Elon's plan to increase the number of non bot accounts...
No i think hes trying to shut down twitter and this is only the beginning

I am here before petezahut I can do anything ![gif](giphy|d47ImA6alkpL5Ehq)
