i see more and more people mention these discords, I've never heard of them before so ill check them out, thank you! sad to hear that seems to be the main way of joining any lately though :(
on the positive side, better/equal engagement with less on here vs twitter at least shows it is better for creatives, hashtags work well and custom feeds are a blessing to organize media tabs a bit. really crossing my fingers bsky takes off even more
being present on multiple sites again, uploading everywhere just to see what sticks and also still navigating the terrible business laws of my country, what I can or can't do (had to give up a meaningful ko-fi store/membership option in the meantime) is so exhausting. wish I could just work in peace
the fact that 2.2k followers here net the same amount of engagement (better in fact) as 22.5k on twitter is astounding. yes, I'm licking my wounds excessively about twitter failing steadily, but can you blame me or anyone? building a platform is a lot of work, and one bad actor can mess it all up.
right, like where were the ads for the applications! all of them suddenly appear once its time to buy already 😭
thank you so much!! 🥺💕
can be digital or physical, preorders/merch etc. refer to physical ones where they raise money to get it printed and shipped to everyone, then the earnings usually get donated to some good cause or distributed among artists!
