NO LONGER ACTIVE ON THIS HELL SITE. FUCK NAZIS. FUCK AI. FUCK ALL YALL
CHECK MY CAARD FOR OTHER LINKS

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

Not gonna be on a site owned and run by a Nazi who openly salutes.

Find me elsewhere via the socials in my caard which I will keep updated.

Not opening this site again.

10 pros of bsky:
1.) You can credit people without your reach getting nuked.
2.) You can post links without getting surpressed
3.) the block feature actually does what it should
4.) you can post as often or as little as you want, everyone has the same reach.
5.) You can use w/e words you want without being shadow banned
6.) A LOT less AI users. OFC there's still a hoard of "artists", but no where near as bad as twitter
7.) your creations won't be fed into an ai program to begin with
8.) It's ad-free!!! You don't need to pay to avoid that shit.
9.) Feed is chronological, which I MISSSSED SO MUCH.
10.) Bots actually get banned if you report them. bsky's moderation is actually really good IMO. ♥

@maynyan23 On Bsky you will always see all the posts by people you follow in chronological order, no more being suppressed for no reason to the point where your own followers can't see you :)

[RJ Palmer 🔜 RCCC F04 @arvalis]

For no reason in particular, remember how Elon Musk hates artists?

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

Never stop drawing, you're just worth more then free labor, creating the original product, working for the engagement, and sending your data straight into the AI machine.

Create and share in places that value you.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

You're the product. if you keep uploading your art here, you're just feeding data into the ai machine. It's not protest, it's not smart, it's not some gotcha. You're actively and freely providing the site their data and engagement.

as you know I will be active on bsky, I think there are some misconceptions, so here are my thoughts:

I've been there on and off for the past few years since we as artists have gotten scared with this platform

and I can tell you, it is active and people are still using it to this day and I've seen accounts grow slowly to tens of thousands of followers and many who exclusively use bsky

so it has become a permanent place more and more each time we "panic". it's not becoming a ghost town every time

whenever I post I get reactions, comments and engagements. while I'm not suddenly viral with tens of thousands of likes, it's not like the new algo here on X is gonna give that kinda boost anymore, bsky gives a steady consistent engagement as you build your following

as for going there and finding there isn't content due to a lack of centralized algorithm - follow all your fav creators who have accounts there, (there is also a sky bridge extension tool that makes it easy to find accounts who you are following on X),

then make use of the feeds, there are basic functional algorithms, namely after following a lot of your fav accounts, the easiest is Discover, and Popular with Friends by default and next find the custom feed called For You people have been posting it a lot, and pin it to your home feeds. there are also countless custom feeds you can follow and pin. and u can even make your own that follows certain hashtags etc.

and we also have starter packs like the one I have you can find on my profile that provides you with a curated group of cool accounts to follow, personally I've been collecting anime artists in my pack. you can also still create lists of accounts and you can view a feed of these groupings of accounts you want to keep an eye on and yes, pin it to home feed as well.

yes there's even comedians and shit posters who you can follow and curate your basic algorithm feeds to be as you need

since bsky is more and more active beyond your imagination it is actually viable to start using it and working on a transition. I know I'll still be here on x but as my acc on bsky grows and becomes viable I will be stepping more and more over

only issue is you have to add suggestive or nudity filters and labels there, but people viewing that content will likely have turned off the filter and see your art fine

with a less algorithmic experience it also means you can freely tweet anything you like, use hashtags, links, and post and repost often to make use of chronological recency freely

so I do encourage you to bsky anyway, it's remaining viable at least as a parallel to use or as an alt wip thoughts account etc

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

Quote posting this just cuz actually I think this is a simple breakdown on starting using Bsky

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne As someone using exclusively Bsky for a long while now, it's very reminiscent to me of old internet where you curated your own experience. My tips: spend a little time setting up your feeds. There's methods to setup multiple feeds (ie what's popular with friends, fanart feeds)🧵

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne OH YEAH ALT TEXT HELPS SEARCHES TOO SO IF YOU DONT WANNA CROWD YOUR POST WITH TAGS YOU CAN PUT KEYWORDS IN THE ALT TEXT WITH THE DESCRIPTION AND IT WILL SHOW YOUR POST IN THOSE SEARCHES AS WELL

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne I think the biggest thing is people are very used to the algo lottery here, and the dopamine when you hit it. Numbers start a little lower but the base you grow is genuine and the interaction is genuine, and quickly surpasses interaction here.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne And finally, idk I saw a few people mentioning experiencing a lot of hate and I can honestly say, I've experienced nothing but kindness there. This site is the only place I've experienced any hate. Curate your own space and you'll see what you put into it.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne With your following page, posts show up in chronological order, you'll always see every post that someone you follow makes, so follow everyone you want to see! No more suddenly being deboosted and your own followers can't see your posts.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@mitsvne Words are included in searches so you generally need less tags, but some tags will automatically put you on some feeds. Finding relevant feeds and using their tags for your posts is great to get your posts outside of your following.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@Justadumbartist Never stop Creating, just don't willingly give your art for free to the AI machine. You are the product and the free employee all in one, generating all the data and engagement. Create forever, and share it anywhere else, you're worth more then free labor.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

I know there's a whole generation of people who now have never experienced anything but the dopamine hits of these hell lotteries. It can be so much better, with just as much interaction, but genuine.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

Break free of the instant dopamine addiction and algorithm lottery playing, and remember what the internet was like when you actually could curate your own experience and posts by people you actually wanted to see showed up in chronological order.

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@shickzander @wolfyaltwitch

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@saki_lizzie Use artconomy, only real artists allowed, plus it has safe commissioning with an escrow system until your art is delivered as expected

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@kitsunecar

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@chainsawroll People are so addicted to the Twitter algo lottery and forgot what the internet was like when you curated your own feeds and they actually showed up in order posted

[Kaori hoshi @Kaorihoshi]

@chainsawroll Boils down to this I think
