One of the things I see very often in the 'Why do you want to join .art' box on the account form is "... and maybe one day I'll post my own art."

*hugs you all* Your art is wonderful and I haven't even seen it yet. It's wonderful because you made it and it came from your heart. You had an idea and you did something creative and that in itself is awesome.

Don't be scared. Share your creativity with us <3 If you're feeling especially vulnerable about your art, add the #ArtBrave hashtag.

Did you know that when you put .rss behind your Mastodon profile URL, you get an RSS feed? 😎

Unlike Twitter, when you 'like' (Favourite) something here, it doesn't share that interaction with your followers.

If you've found a post or a piece of art that you've enjoyed - boost that toot! 

Instead of deactivating and losing my bird profile, I decided instead to keep it as a pointer here, and to protect my old handle. And I've thrown ten bucks at https://tweetdeleter.com/ to clean house.

"Online, a lot of us have been unhappy with our social media platforms for a long time, but we hang in there, year after year, scandal after scandal, because as much as we hate the platform, we love the people who use the platform.

We don’t leave because we don’t want to lose them. They don’t leave because they don’t want to lose us. It’s a hostage situation, and we’re all holding each other hostage." (Cory Doctorow)
