Did Pillowfort also died in less than 2 months ?

I don't think it ever really took off. It also had an invite-only system for a while, I think?

Oh yeah I remember when I had to get into a queue to get an invite. I don't know why they did this but anyway it wasn't as bad as Bluesky's invite system.

Still has, though the invites are super easy to get.

What's the main difference? Are Bluesky invites that difficult to get?

Furries seem to have made themselves a deep little spot, but they do that everywhere anyhow

However I am just one person and don't have the sites overall analytics, so for anyone who is using the site...how has it been? Is it worth it to start posting your art there yet?

uhm, DUH, to get attention
wtf else do you think people use social media for?

I’m not sure this is the best way to look at it. If you’re looking for sheer numbers, the best thing to do is completely abandon everything that makes you unique and just generate a bunch of AI softcore porn.

Use social media to make online friends instead - lasting friendships are more valuable and they will care about your art more than just a bunch of randos who see one image and boost it with likes.

This sounds like your expectations on what a friend should be are a little too high. I personally used to be disappointed about my online interactions the same way you've described it above, until I grew to roll with it and make the most out of my online friendships! :)

First things first, "Use social media to make online friends instead" is an absolutely terrible statement and you cannot be trusted

Second, the only way to combat AI art is to post and make more art yourself, don't be such a goddamn PUSSY and go all "wah wah wah why even bother posting art anymore AI bros are just gonna get all the glory" you fucking doomer

How does that track? By posting your just providing more free training data to ai. There is no "beating" or "combating" ai, we have already lost and the best you can do is ignore its existance and learn how to do shit yourself
