OK I found it, but it was on #SmackJeeves, but apparently it's not among the ones archived in the corresponding archive.org collection
https://archive.org/details/smackjeeves-web-comics
even though, AFAICS, it _is_ available in the archive.
SmackJeeves Web Comics

Smack Jeeves was a website where creators could upload and share their original webcomics. It was shut down on December 31st, 2020.

So, between FB/IG on one side and sites like WebToons or Tapas on the other, the main point of the thread was that there is now a dearth of the experimental, free-for-all cultural environment in which webcomics developed.
I don't think this is true (and tried to mention, but wasn't given much attention): the “spiritual” (and in many ways actual) successor to #SmackJeeves is #ComicFury, where you can still find anything from poorly-drawn sketches to well-drawn (or rendered) compelling stories.

There was an interesting conversation on Twitter some time before the Musk takeover about webcomic history and the important role that hosting services (particularly #SmackJeeves first and #KeenSpot later) had on the development of the medium and in launching artists. Among the many changes the Internet has undergone in the mean time, it was argued, was the drift towards irrelevancy of these platforms.

What I most like in the #SmackJeeves "renewal" is that most comics that I used to read there are also hosted elsewhere, so I can change the links in my feed reader to sites that still provide RSS. I hope future technologies will automate finding which platform hosts a work.

They announced a major change to the site, but it's easy to miss the announcement: https://www.smackjeeves.com/sj-renewal-announcement.php

They're removing the customization features that make SJ distinct from Tapas and LWT. If SJ's customizability (templates, extra pages, the ability to use Disqus) is important to you, back those things up now and consider switching to ComicFury or self-hosting! You've got until January.

Black Dram - X

Dunnin is a city full of revenants and skows. A cop and a monster hunter work together to solve their mysteries - but living over a century apart, they're not to know that.
