Make mastodon artist positive!

The biggest disconnect I've seen is between Mastodon users expecting alt text and artists coming from platforms where those features were rarely used or didn't exist at all.
I feel bad when an artist is wanting to establish themselves on the platform but they're unwilling to take the steps needed to make people want to support them, even after being nudged repeatedly about it.

my personal attempt to mediate is that i reply to such posts with adding some descripional text and espically HASHTAGS in my answer
I think not using them is one of the worst things why artists and potential clients dont find each others here
Of course, the first issue is how to get people to move here at all, i still see actually artists on FA who say "Follow me on Twitter" or even "I have now made a Twitter account" and refuse Mastodon because "noone uses it"

It's absurd to say that nobody uses Mastodon considering that we have something like 4000 active accounts just here on meow. There are also plenty of furries on other servers. So while the absolute numbers are certainly lower than Twitter, the furry niche on here is very healthy.

Oh, that was cited from the artists and makers who refuse to start at Mastodon as their reason, they see Twitter still as sthe gold standard for finding clients
