Social medias blues

Once again, i'm facing the eternal problem I have since I quitted deviantart like 10 years ago and joined tumblr (and quitted):
I don't know where to fucking post my drawings or if I should post them.
Obsessed for years with websites that displayed likes, comments and views, I underestimate the anonymous viewer, the shy fan of my art, the person who forgot to like but enjoy the art anyway, I forget how some little post it drawings can be fun to look at, no matter the subject, and how numbers on a big website means so little (I don't have many followers on twit/insta but a lot of people come to see me at cons!)
And now with all the porn ban, the fandom drama and how SHITTY TWITTER HAS BECOME (I mean, it sucks, but now its worse) I don't even want to bother to post my new obsession (ELDEN RING OLD MEN FUCKING) on it.

Maybe I should post a few there?
I like DW because I can just word vomit my thoughts and take my time to reply and view posts.

Or maybe I should try mastodon. Someone pointed me to newsground but idk how its worth.
I think i'm too old to try and be active on a new website.

Anyway, webtoon censured YET AGAIN one of my page, this time because of a character butt, lol
Seriously....

Having been on mastodon since 2017, it's getting to be pretty viable with a lot of the ex-twitter folks on there. If you're already familiar with twitter's UI, it'll be one of the easier transitions, and I think you'd fit in with the folks on there too.

(some instances are a lot more accepting of fictional nsfw art than others -- aethy is one instance i'm seeing a lot new followers come from.)

i'm also really liking cara.app as an artstation site alternative; one of those more static type of portfolio sites with no AI art nonsense or anything there. You'll need an invite to set up a portfolio, but I would be happy to give one to you.)

I need to get my fingers out of my butt and try around masto. I think I /somehow/ need twitter but not like it is (fucking algorythm got worse)
