I decided to return to Twitter.
The reason why is because Bluesky, while having a friendly community with no algorithm, is pretty limited on its reach currently and I want to make a wider impact.
Celebrities, influencers and certain people that I follow don't post on it anyway.

[Sun @Sun_MLP]

I'm leaving this platform for good.

While I learned from it and it changed my opinions about certain things, it has done damage to my mental health, it distracts me from more important things in my life and I put others into unnecessary stress with this.

Todays goal is to re-do this picture with an updated picture of my car and refining the Honda png my friend made for me. ❤️

[HondaTheEarthPony @HondaEarthPony]

I know it's not Christmas yet, but I really love this outfit and commission, and it's my favorite holiday.. only 7 months away (:

[HondaTheEarthPony @HondaEarthPony]

Remember this? This is my Luna themed Civic that has been around for quite some time! She has come to 3 conventions with me so far and people loved her..

Once upon a time, I was known as Hondadude719 on the MLP subreddit. Sadly those days are over really, but she is still here!

[HondaTheEarthPony @HondaEarthPony]

Hey there! My name is Jesse, well okay fine, that's my human counter-part. I'm Honda, an Earth pony who is super passionate and wants to spread love and positivity to all! I created this page to hopefully create something beautiful, and I hope that you enjoy! Stay tuned!

🚨 NEW DISCORD HACK/PHISHING METHOD 🚨

hackers are getting a little too advanced at this... someone who took over a friend's account seems to have taken note of how much i play Minecraft and made a rogue modpack with a credentials stealer in it

BE WARY!!!

Here are some more features I plan to add to https://t.co/vAAzdNtrIL in the near future:
- Stamp rallies where you can partner with your friends' stores (if you've done a stamp rally at a con, you know what I mean)
- Art trades
- Social features
- Visitor guestbooks/sketchbooks/stickerbooks
- and a LOT more (confidential) stuff planned because I'll be working on Artist Alley full time
To reiterate, NSFW isn't supported yet. I'm working with experts in the field to make it happen eventually, and it's in my top 3 highest priority. It'll almost certainly happen in the future, so please be patient!

[Skyshard 🍓🎶🏳️‍⚧️ @skyshard_melody]

I'm giving a try at Artist Alley and already have a few listings there, plus music comm info!

Check it out, because this project is really amazing and has so much potential!
I'll upload the rest of my main albums later!

[15 @ Whinny City Pony Con @fifteenai]

Today, I'm proud and excited to officially announce and launch Artist Alley, the artist-first fandom marketplace! Over the last year and a half, I've traveled across the world and sat down with hundreds of artists to ask what they'd want in a marketplace platform that doesn't treat them like corporate products. One of the most vocal and consistent complaints was that ALL of these existing platforms take an unreasonable cut of their sales ("Why does Etsy charge me for making a listing before I've even sold anything?") for doing next to nothing for them, while artists had to constantly worry about getting randomly banned for no reason and having no way to appeal. Not to mention the rampant fraud and scams on those websites, the amount of low-effort dropshipping, and miserable chargeback experiences that discourage creators from pursuing what they love doing.

What I've learned from these artists is that the bar to creating a marketplace that doesn't actively screw over its creators is unambitiously low. But why settle for the bare minimum? I spent the last six months developing, testing, and scrutinizing every aspect of an ideal marketplace that truly represents how real artists and vendors today manage and organize their everyday workflow; if artists give their all when they make content for others to enjoy, why shouldn't I? Ultimately, Artist Alley is a statement that creators deserve to benefit from their creations first, and that the platform should fit around the art, not the other way around. One of the core tenets of Artist Alley is that a marketplace platform taking a 0% fee is sustainable in the long-term, despite what these corporations would like you to believe. After all, how are we to know for sure it's NOT sustainable without someone actually trying it? (Sadly I can't do anything about the payment processor fee, but Artist Alley doesn't take anything on top of it.)

There are too many features to mention all of them in this tweet, but the idea is that you can sell and buy digital or physical merch, take or request digital or physical commissions, host auctions and raffles, have your orders automatically organized in a trello board, set up multiple stores, and discover talented artists around the world. Check them out for yourself below! I'll probably be posting short videos of all the features in the coming week. And join our community Discord for updates on new features, submit ideas, and report any bugs!

@skyshard_melody @fifteenai Yea

[15 @ Whinny City Pony Con @fifteenai]

I should probably mention this now, by the way: I've decided to close https://t.co/aLRZaKpcJQ indefinitely so I can focus on Artist Alley. I started https://t.co/oN8ZgrLObI back in 2019 when generative AI was a fun, cool, hip new thing that no one had seen before, and as a fresh college graduate, I thought it would be really funny to take cutting-edge voice AI research and apply it to something as silly as TF2 and MLP.

Since then, generative AI has come such long way to the point where I don't recognize it anymore as the same quirky little thing that I remember it being. I'll always be in love with the technical details behind the latest breakthroughs in the field, but the fact that the technology's been getting squeezed to death for profit by corporations kinda killed my passion for a lot of it.

https://t.co/mmm1S2jeT3 has always cost me thousands of dollars every single month to just keep it up, and I never once made a profit off of it throughout its many years, but it's just not physically possible for me to hold my attention on both projects simultaneously. I think it's about time I shift my focus entirely on something that I genuinely find exciting, something that isn't just for fun and can really help people around the world.
