Fedi has been bringing me so much fun and nice interactions lately. Helps that I don't use it as a pure art account but just for socializing, like social media used to be. Feels very refreshing :>

(On IG I wouldn't know how to socialize even if I tried. What a shit place :D)

@doombloomart I kind of wonder if this is the difference between people I see thrive here and people who bounce off for larger pastures. I think if you treat it as a place to be part of a community, you’ll do quite well. If you treat it as a place to gain an audience, it won’t work for you at all (especially if your approach is engagement-bait).

I suspect a lot of people on IG fall into the latter camp.

@bytex64 Well said! I had to lose some habits from other platforms too when i came here (and gain some others), but i prefer it that way. I don't want to be so transactional all the time with the stuff i post because it's "good for engagement".
