I know everyone has a different experience but for me I’ve enjoyed it here.
I got 10K follows here and my post on average do well.
On twitter I had over 40K, been there for YEARS and 90% of my followers never SAW anything I posted. Some even thought I STOPPED making art unless they went to the page

Taste so good yummmmmm
I actually feel a sense of community here seeing what everyone's up to!
I've had a few nice conversations here which were I on twitter likely would have devolved into a shouting match.
It's nice here, peaceful even. ❤️
Here it actually feels like people can actually see and interact with me
I think some people who came from Twitter are obsessed with getting into fights with people and feel bored because people…
I could care less if this place is “boring” or “echo chamber” its better than seeing a nazi symphazier post get 100K likes from an account called “HitlerLover69”
No lie that takes time unless you are already well known (im talking about BIG artist known outside of just twitter)
I’m actually doing better on Bluesky cause I manage to nearly surpass my Twitter following pretty quickly just from posting on the regular and interacting with people
It just boggles my mind people still put up with Twitter despite all the bs that’s going on over there
the site's layout is genuinely atrocious now, like holy crap it's like borderline unusable
Wich is a huge improvement
I mean there's a meaningful answer somewhere to rhyme and reason over.
Twitter on the other hand is a barren wasteland.
My last 2 years on twitter declined more and more when it came to my post unless it was a snarky meme QRT or whatever fanart was stupidly trending.
The fact I had people HERE surprised I been making art cause twitter made it look like I didn’t spoke for itself
I see a ton of people only post maybe twice, not come back after 3 months and then complain it’s dead here.
Like dawg.
It’s a grind but you kinda have to work on it…kinda how it’s always been on other sites
Nobody is forcing you stay, and nobody is forcing you to just pick 1 social media platform
I mean that or you can go back to Elongated Muskrats pit of despair??….good luck with that?….?????
Using an app like Instander to get rid of ads and sponsored posts is a godsend.
As said, make sure you get Instander though - Or something to block the ads.
Dunno what to tell you chief.
This guy is one of those who want constant "bangers" and internet points when they complain about cartoons. They are desperate for attention.
Im having a great time here
The bigger I got the smaller my engagement got before hitting rock bottom
Also this post (the quoted) is just plain stupid and wrong.
At worst, I'd still choose boredom over the fucking nazi infested shithole.
On Twitter hardly anything I did really seem to matter as at most I'd get 3 likes if I'm lucky, but here it feels like even I have better reach and visibility, now I get like 10s to 20s on a regular day.
I think a lot of peeps are just so hardwired to seeing the heinous/crazy stuff pop up on their twitter that when it doesn't happen and they get the things that they want only, it may seem dull or strange!
And that mentality never particularly clicked for me, ESPECIALLY in this modern "engagement farming" world. It all feels so fake.
And thanks so much means a ton hearing that from you! You two are absolute inspirations!
The tagging/"rating" function is legit great
My time here has been nothing but fantastic, even when it felt slow
I come here to feel sane.
I try my best to be as active and interact with fellow artist but I do kinda struggle but am improving.
Here its new-ish, if you don't like it or the vibes or whatever, you CAN just leave.
Over there it was an established site where someone came in and started making drastic changes.
