#Fuck Twitter

[skellebonez]

Artists.

You do not need your Twitter.

Twitter is not the boost you think it is anymore.

I have seen at least 6 people I follow on BlueSky saying they have looked into their numbers and compared to Twitter? BSky gives them over double the exposure and follow through for outside links (probably because Twitter kills your tweet if you have links).

Twitter is testing a feature to allow other users to click a button attached to your posts to put your art into their Grok ai and make ai art with it without your permission automatically.

It is marking non-ai art as being made with Grok (probably to promote it).

You do not need Twitter.

Twitter needs you.

Starve the fuckin thing.

My friend ZombieComicsAura talks about webcomic topics on his YouTube channel. Recently Muskovites have recently brigaded him for his video talking about Musk's Nazi salute and how that effected reddit, especially the webcomic community there. Check out his video here.

due to block & TOS tomfoolery, lots of artists have started to move from twitter to 🦋 bluesky 🦋

if you want to get started on bsky yourself as either an artist or an art enjoyer, there's a 'starter pack' feature where you can follow a curated list of people; it's a great way to find artists! you can either follow everyone with one click, or selectively go through them and decide who you want to follow.

here's some i've found:

women of the pixel art community by @ilta222 (me)

recommendations 1 & recommendations 2 by @tofupixel

cute/cozy art starter by @byjessicaelena

black artist accts BIG MIDDLE & SMALL by @titea-art

art merch artists by @zandraillustration

TTRPG artists & horror artists by @nheiraashford

art streamers by @shiinareii

there may be ns---fw accounts within here (i don't have time to check them all sry) so be aware of that!

I just saw someone make a really accurate point about why right-wing social media sites fail, and why Twitter will inevitably fall now that's it's rapidly becoming a right-wing exclusive social media site. It also explains why right-wingers are so pissed about the mass migration to Bluesky:

MAGAts want an audience they can indoctrinate and radicalize. Normal people who don't care much about politics are not going to go on explicitly right-wing sites like Truth Social, but they will go onto sites like Twitter and Youtube and can be radicalized there.

MAGAts are, at their core, bullies and abusers. They want to have a steady supply of punching bags they can hurt. Of course there's infighting on sites like Gab and Rumble, but it's not the same. This is why they get so upset when someone blocks them; they claim it's about "free speech" (lol) but in reality they're just butthurt that one of their victims has cut off their ability to harass them. MAGAts are losing their minds over the Bluesky migration because Bluesky has much better blocking/moderation practices than Twitter (where Elon has stated his intent to remove or at least weaken the block button). So yeah, the conservative reaction to the ongoing Twitter exodus literally is just "how dare you leave and not let me use you as a punching bag?!?!!"

Not only did "Heckle & Jeckle" eliminate the means to save these people's lives. They blamed their deaths on black people...!

So the Twitter 𝕏 comes from a random font pack. It's also Unicode. So he can't copyright it and you can put it anywhere you want lmao.

Probably the best way to understand Musk is that he’s another rich middle-aged divorced guy whose hot new girlfriend is white nationalism.

Fuck apartheid nepobaby Elon Musk, and the system that allows him to have any influence at all.

Hot take: the same people who complain about Chaggie being hardly a romantic relationship would accuse Vivziepop of queerbaiting if they weren't explicitly romantic.

Also for the people who didn't recognise they were together, Vaggie only ever letting her guard down around Charlie, singing half a song in episode three about how she's dedicating herself to fighting for her, and literally growing her wings back by recognising her cause in life is to fight for her love for Charlie is so blatant that you have to be watching it in bad faith to not recognise it.

Basically, stop telling a sapphic creator her sapphic characters aren't the right kind of sapphic and don't even count as sapphic because you don't personally like it.

(Btw I should probably say despite being a huge critic of Helluva Boss, I really fucking enjoyed Hazbin Hotel and I will discuss why eventually.)

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that if it isn't "illegal" for MAGA to boycott Bud Light, Target, Starbucks and more because of the 1st Amendment, it sure as hell ain't illegal for us to boycott Elon's shitty Tesla.

FUCK ELON!

BOYCOTT TESLA!
