jakechirak | Touching grass is not enough, grass needs to be available for everyone

HEY SO with twi/x slowly sinking, websites (specially billionaires websites) being shit and with me doing more conventions and indies things, I decided to try to be more creative... and sharing!

I changed the FAQ on my own website, allowing my drawings to be reposted (as long as you don't profit or make nfts out of them)... I think if people care enough to save my art, and repost it, just for the sake of showing to other people, where's the harm? Mocking how cringe it is? Fine, but my art with outlive me. I want to exist outside of circles I already know. I want to meet new people, learn new things.

I joined mastodon and finally I found a community from artists to artist. Finally i'm having cool convos instead of seeing the same meme over and over on twi/x . I'm not leaving twi/x yet but the HUGE DIFFERENCE makes it hard to come back on that shit website...
Im mostly active on my Elden Ring twi/x account (with a back up on tumblr) but the more time passes, the more i'm thinking of bringing my Elden Ring-obsessed ass elsewhere...
Speaking of which, i'm trying to do a little list of popular website alternatives, the pros, the cons, because i'm thinking of making a quick guide on my website on how to just detach yourself from the mass. If anyone know of this, please comment (or lets talk about it elsewhere)

This is a WIP:

guide: 💰 (owned by a big company) ✊🏽 (indie, user to user)
TWITTER/X ALTERNATIVES:
- 💰 THREADS | [pro: easy to create an account, not so far away from insta/fb] [cons: same laws as insta/fb so no nsfw, absolutely steals all of your datas, your datas is public nothing is ever deleted from your page, you're obligated to have the same name from your FB so its awfully convenient for people who don't want to show their dead names OR people or are trying to flee harassment/stalking, YOU CANNOT delete your account with out deleting insta/fb, already dead apparently, there will be ads soon, its Zuckerberg what do you expect] SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2, SOURCE 3

- 💰 BLUESKY | [pro: its not twitter?, being invite only there's less annoying people? It smells like twitter but without Elon?] [cons: is closed and there's no moderation so people are expecting a huge migration of nazis when it opens, absolutely steals all of your datas, your datas are available to everyone (meaning anyone can look your past posts or names its never deleted and you cannot hide. ever), no content warning or hashtag no way to hide things you don't wanna see, stupid algorithm, already dead apparently, the guy who made it is a huge crypto bro and sucks Elon's cock so nothing good can come out of it] SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2, SOURCE 3

- ✊🏽 MASTODON | [pro: each instance have a clear TOS so you know what to post and whats NOT to post, easy to curate your own experience and hide what you don't want to see, posts are longer and you can EDIT them, you can also post more images per posts, easy to have multiple side accounts on different instances, user to user type of administration so you talk to a human and not a BOT] [cons: hard to find communities if people don't tag them, can be a struggle to find a instance you like so its easier if a friend point you to one that's good/might fit you, you're not safe from a moderator deleting their instance but you're not safe from any website disappearing anyway lol]

- ✊🏽 MISSKEY | same as mastodon but its japanese. Biggest con is trying to fit in.

- ✊🏽 /💰? PLURK | [pro: very clean and pretty, user friendly, a bit niche and closed but cosy] [cons: kinda dead, hard to find english communities, not a lof of infos on the owners] SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2, SOURCE 3

...

That's it... for now! Later on, I would love to make the same thing for deviantart-like alternative. What about pillowfort, inkblot, itaku, inkbunny, furaffnity, newsgrounds and all those websites everyone forgot lol
