gets on my soapbox

People should be utilizing personal, indie sites as well as social media. We can't keep counting on SM to be a safe haven when theyre notorious for eventually going down the drain or prone to enshittification.

"But SM is more convenient" IS IT REALLY.

Pls don't get me wrong SM has its absolute upsides, BUT there are just as many drawbacks, even if theyre not visible all the time, or simply arrive with the aging OF said SM. I do, genuinely, really think that having both SM and your own indie site is a good way to ensure that +

your art will always have a space, and people will always be able to find you. If SM goes down? Oh, well, my friend has their website! I can still see their art there! I can still put *my* art on *my* site, and not worry about it getting flagged!

Ah but whatta i know eh lmao Im talkin at nothin.
