Oml this. Before the DA site became such a ….well. I’m loving seeing all the new art that was lost in the mess that was X too!

thiinkingspace.bsky.social•123 days ago

Yeah! I feel it too and its nice and refreshing.

neonkaoki.bsky.social•123 days ago

I just made my account today, and it is such a breath of fresh air compared to every other platform I've tried. It makes me so happy to see other artists so excited to show their stuff again!! It warms my soul 💓 🥹

inorafied.bsky.social•123 days ago

I didn't care about social media until 3 years ago. Idk how that felt. I only used Facebook that time. I expanded to more social media just this year.

whimsy-dot-exe.bsky.social•123 days ago

OMG YES. I have found so many artists i used to follow on dA in like 2006 😭 I wanna cry, I'm overjoyed that so many of them are still around making things that inspired me so much as a youth

ya i do can u help i keep getting fat furrys

raiked.bsky.social•123 days ago

Bluesky is giving me old tumblr vibes somehow. But still one of better places to post artworks for sure.

fuwin.bsky.social•123 days ago

Hope it stays cozy like this for a long time 🙏🩵🦋

mochaderg.bsky.social•123 days ago

I have never experienced early Devianart but i’m excited to see what this platform has in store!

c0nes.bsky.social•123 days ago

all it needs now are llamas

koikaira.bsky.social•123 days ago

Yesss, we honestly needed a place like it again T-T it's so niceee

derangeddiligence.bsky.social•123 days ago

For real, though! xD

andyfurfulz.com•123 days ago

a little bit!! last time i actually wanted to be active in an art-centric community was like 2012-2016 ^^; and i was very young then (shouldn't have had a deviantart account at that age, but who actually followed the rules then)

starlogsvt.bsky.social•124 days ago

The feeds are just the deviantart art groups you were able to join >:3

coloredowl.bsky.social•123 days ago

Полностью согласна u-u🧡
(Almost agree u-u🧡)

younodonk.bsky.social•123 days ago

I heard it compared to 2011 Tumblr in a real-life conversation last night.

myrhail.bsky.social•124 days ago

I'm not super well acquainted with the early days of devianart.

But I can say it does feel like the bright early days of the 00's internet. Like everyone is so excited, doing things and showing their passions. It's great!

Feels like its missing endless "under construction" gifs though 🤔

ykaihours.bsky.social•123 days ago

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING !! 🦋 is like old school deviantart but more social media-ish and im loving it

yuzaiyuzai.bsky.social•123 days ago

it also gives fandom tumblr mid 2010s vibes

some people dont like that but for me it was the last time internet felt really fun

goodrafan706.bsky.social•123 days ago

I know it might not last (and i hope it does), but it really does give off that vibe, and it's amazing
very comfy, most i've interacted on social media in... pretty much ever.

zazanya.bsky.social•123 days ago

For sure hehe Would be cool if there was a sort of club feature here like dA had ✨ My feeds are just full of art and artists already tho, rarely anything else hehe We've truly taken over 👽(or my feeds are just perfectly crafted lol)

andariya.art•123 days ago

Need to find more art moots on here still, but I do definitely get the vibe already as well. Everything is just so wholesome and everyone is super talkative and motivated. I'm digging it!

scarameowsat.bsky.social•123 days ago

Yep

eiocia.bsky.social•123 days ago

:0 i get what u mean, tho people rnt nearly as… involved with each other socially like they were on dA? to the point of being overfamiliar in a lot of cases 💀 (me)
does just feel more like a cleansed twitter to me
i still use dA for the gallery features to this day tbh 😭

shiohh.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think we can’t escape the new age social media of keeping everyone at arms length haha
But it’s close enough!!

eiocia.bsky.social•123 days ago

yeah thats true its such a weird environment of everyone being emotionally distanced but people are also simultaneously way too up in strangers businesses 😭 yeah! its a nice feeling talking to other artists regularly again heheh

yonaei.bsky.social•122 days ago

YES and im loving it

mikunatsume2.bsky.social•123 days ago

Now that you mention it, yeah. I feel that way and it's refreshing to not be buried in the constant algorithms trying identify my every emotion

ghostlightgirl.bsky.social•123 days ago

oh that’s what it is

libidine.bsky.social•123 days ago

A little bit, but less social- but that’s just kinda how modern internet is and that’s not a uniqely bluesky thing. Still more enjoyable than anything else so far 🥹🤍

kaiserinbika.bsky.social•123 days ago

I need the deviantArt stamps and llama… then I’ll be at home

mmarcish.bsky.social•123 days ago

I've said this before but its giving pre 2018 tumblr vibes.

doodlebard.bsky.social•123 days ago

It is kinda filling that space somehow...

leekan.bsky.social•123 days ago

Oh yeeeessss definitely!!

kxuuc.bsky.social•123 days ago

nah, my discovery is getting full of usa politics garbage because somehow 2 activist accounts followed me :( idk how to remove them without blocking, i put show less on every such post but it doesnt help :( pls post the templates though

shiohh.bsky.social•123 days ago

Oh shoot I literally went away for a few hours and there are so many likes and comments!!!

AAAAA IM EXCITED TO READ THEM ALL HAHA

avellion.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think it's because so many people were finally pushed by the AI art theft policy Twitter is going to push.

Honestly having a place like old Deviant Art again would be super nice.

cepaeanemoralis.bsky.social•123 days ago

Idk, I've joined deviantart in 2020 when it was already dying, but even then it was significantly better compared to what it had become two years after, not even speaking about its current version where nothing is made by humans.

tabbyblues.bsky.social•123 days ago

Ooooooooh, is that the vibes I’ve been getting? Now that you’ve mentioned it, I can totally see it

galvanaut.bsky.social•123 days ago

Yeah it really feels like DA before the 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖 s took over. This is how a platform is supposed to feel, I'm not settling for less anymore

eddrawsstuff.bsky.social•123 days ago

How do you get better at drawing

chkngeak.bsky.social•124 days ago

No I feel it too. Honestly just change the colour scheme to that dA green and it feels like home 👌

eleniecho.bsky.social•123 days ago

I didn’t get the chance to be on a space like deviantart, so I’m glad that there’s another space like it!! It makes me so happy to see real human art everyday 🫶

din-redfire.bsky.social•123 days ago

Gosh I miss old school deviantart. I still have the Fella mascot plushie! Those were the days, and I'm glad to see some of those vibes here!

ibubobubo.bsky.social•123 days ago

meeee 😭 i havent felt positive vibes like this from any social media since pre-eclipse dA, this is so lovely and im realizing i might not hate being on social media after all, but just hate the other options lmao
