Community Scramble Gorilla Boxing Day and SDComicCon 2023 a mark of a nera
With many updates in service, participation, and more. Twitter seems as a mass marketplace everyone MUST be part of to be dying.
Like the mighty American Indoor shopping mall.
Likely it will live, they will still be there. Even individual examples as remarkable as ever.
But more dead space and legacy and lingering than up to normal or ideal activity.
“Where will you be moving your art , news, comments, and focus after twitter.com”
Many seem to already be trying to branch out in light of browsing and other feature or policy changes. Taking their art to new places for storage. Or new places to get traffic, purchases, and do commission business.
Where the people go is dependent on their focus. Gonintendo.com seems okay with Threads
https://www.threads.net/@gonintendothreads
That platform has limited adult material and solicitation policies thanks to Facebook
Also connected through Instagram which means many furries would be unable to ply the same business or growth outside of reliable as to matriculating like-minded shoppers or new people. Also something something e-thots
I have noticed an increase of focus and interest for furaffinity.net by people who tended to have more than one place at a time already.
At the very least for archiving purposes it is more often being referenced
Tumblr.com is on its 4th wave of “refugees” and redesign to draw attention or business. Still no adult content ban lifting or proper mitigation (some sort of reliable adult content or ID screen)
@topi5356, the other guy I Commissioned like 2nd to Rickleone, was already on pixiv. He is developing a discord server. It is not a total replacement, but a point of contact for reliable and interested parties to keep awareness and communicate.

Wedgekun, former acquaintance, if heard of him know him as if not the Goron guy the Yunobo guy had already more moved to tiktok and utilized telegram

The main man @rickleone after a wonderful GBD tribute also seem to be in the process of, if not fully moving off twitter.com, making sure he’s got all the have options for pivoting.
He suggests smart move to both keep a community presence, make sure people that you want to maintain contact with do so, and finally have a place where you can pretty reliably be a part of the stream or flow of furry business or at the very least get attention of what you put out, how you’re progressing, and thus folks who are and potentially interested in your work can likely give you support.
Also something about about decentralizing prevention of cultural hegemon and outsourcing labor.

well that’s one way to leave an impression
Anthro wolves would likely find doggoes as fascinating as we find lesser primates. And keeping as bests likely more trying and difficult
The Pink-Purple Gorilla is Rick’s fursona/mascot Gokong. The man is another variant on his take on Hercules who he’s developing a Space Opera vesion of, stuff will just be tech but still lots of variations he feels can have fun and make a mark with. Don’t recall Wolf and Orc boy’s deal. But common point of reference.
And you will learn to appreciate the joy and meaning dogs can bring to life when you subscribe to his patreon. But also the sheer scope of a motivated independent artist. Just look at his tumblr and realize all that variation and accomplishment is on his own with a day job and constant personal training and ambition. He loves art and making art and culture. Money ain’t a bad thing especially a good deal up front can get you some quality work in a few weeks.
ALTWith decent instructions this picture took him ~4 days to make. You can if pay 10U$D a month get 4 of these a year or negotiate for a discount on higher quality work that eclipses this from him.
