@jendrawscomics Right on, lol.

When I came here I only intended to feel out the site (especially since many people on birdsite seem to have negative opinions about it).

But some posts and many interactions later, I can say that I'm a convert. Love this community.

I started in June five years ago (on .social) but didn't delete my Birdhouse account until almost four months later. I had to adjust to this space and realize how much better I could feel out of that pressure cooker before I was ready to officially pull the plug.

@xenophora @jendrawscomics I'm not sure if I can follow in your footsteps and completely remove my birdsite account since I do have commission clients there unfortunately. But I have found myself limiting my interactions to just posting pictures.

Scrolling through feeds here just feels much better, and it's pretty amazing to be able to interact with strangers without worrying if they're terrible people. To just be able to interact like human beings, what a thought

@Revvie @jendrawscomics

Yep. I'm really more a draw-on-a-whim kind of person. I don't think my stuff is commission-friendly. But, uh... never say never maybe? 🤔

Thing is: once I began to produce again after years of inactivity, I realized hanging out there would do me more harm than good. It was such a stress-inducing time-sucker. So that was one factor in leaving, though not the only one.
