If you are an artist seeking out a new platform for posting your art, Poipiku has been popular lately and also allows nsfw. There's a strict regulation on banning anything AI.

(also allows uploads of written content btw) It's where all jp artists move to due to Pixiv being flooded with AI and Twitter dying, but there is a multi-language interface.

OOOOOOH BOY WE ARE GONNA BE EATING WITH THIS ONE

[esperrarts]

in PMMM, is it ever explained why magical girls can't just not use magic, therefore sparing their soul gems from being corrupted? that seems like the easiest course of action to me, but there must be a reason why they don't do it.

I don't think it's ever explained in the main series, but I think supplementary material does touch on it. Basically, magical girls will absolutely need to get Grief Seeds at some point because, even when not actively using magic, they passively use magic every day to sustain their bodies.

Remember, magical girls are liches. Their bodies are dead and are no more than puppets used by the true soul/consciousness stored in the Soul Gem (this is in contrast to regular humans, whose bodies and souls are fundamentally intertwined). Sustaining the physical body and keeping its heart beating requires magical intervention (even though most magical girls aren't aware of it).

I like to think about it in terms of calories. Even if you do literally nothing all day except lay in bed, your body still burns a lot of calories to sustain itself. This is why eating regularly is important. In the same way, magical girls passively burn magic to sustain their bodies, so at some point they will need to use a Grief Seed even if they never actively use magic.

Oh, one last thing- it's shown that some magical girls passively burn magic at higher rates than others. Oriko Mikuni (the titular character in the Oriko Magica spinoffs) burns a lot of magic via her precognition ability. Because Oriko initially can't control when and how often she gets visions of the future, she burns a lot of magic even though she's never actively used magic. She later gets better about this and doesn't need to purify her Soul Gem as often.
