i think what gets me about a lot of recent (by recent i mean roughly ~2 years old) "twitter alternatives" is that theyre either ghost towns bc its a pain in the ass to move to a completely new site or theyre invite only so thats a different barrier. secret third thing is the twt alternative being marketed as a website for Artists and Artists only so you have non artists asking if its ok to join that site. i need 2012 deviantart back immediately

#like yeah im glad this site is catered to and for artists but what abt potential clients ?#i think thats something that a lot of the alternatives seem to miss is that a lot of artists rely on platforms like twt to get cms. i do!#moving to a completely random new site no ones ever heard of is not going to help me in the slightest!#thats why i genuinely have only stuck to twt + tumblr bc ive been using them and i already have ppl Here.#like sorry i dont want to just follow the entire total 75 other people on a new site bc no one else has heard of it or wants to join it #idk i just think abt this every time a new alternative pops up. like who is exclusively posting on Bluesky. nobody.#ppl make their initial posts on new site and then immediately go back to twt bc thats where their audience is.#idk it just never feels like theres any real incentives to join 324 new sites. Whatever man
