Honestly, as someone who in one way or another has the birdsite to thank for every paid job I've had in the past decade, a leap into a career I never thought possible for someone like me, and who gets a good 90% of my website traffic from that place, this sucks. Yes the owner deserves everything that's happening (and more) and the site itself was never some wonderland of creative virtue, but still...

(On a semi-related note: Cohost's refusal to let me post directly to my friends, even in public, is probably the one thing that stops me settling in here. It always feels to me like everyone's just monologuing at each other, rather than a real community)

watching all the JP art accounts i follow wake up to find the whole thing on fire and trying to catch up on what is even happening hurts every time. cute watercolor art is the biggest universal good this service provides the world and even that's gettin fucked up

somehow, out of all the places we have posted over the years, the one that seems most likely to survive is gamefaqs and not in a million years would i have put my chips down on that bet

This is about how I feel too. Especially the second bit, talking to people has always felt a lot easier on Twitter than anywhere else, and as much as I like it here, it feels more like a message board or a blog and feels less conducive to me to just casually chatting with someone or cracking jokes :S

Also yes Sharc is right about the JP art accounts, I need my daily dose of cutes and witch art and that's in danger! No!!

Yeah, I know what you mean! It's weird how even something as basic as "Hey, have you seen this?!" it just an impossibility here :S

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you and sharc sharing fun art! :D

Yeah, it's always nice to see a mention from you and other friends with something just for me and if the bird site implodes, I'll miss that :/ But I'm sure we'll find a way to share things if it comes to that! For now, I'll maintain my sniper position and keep sharing cutes until I'm dragged out :V

It's genuinely a sad state of affairs at how the whims of one giant twat are enough to ruin things for everyone.

For all the problems over on Twitter, I feel it was a place that was sufficient for letting all the facets of what I liked be expressed. I could chat with friends (I used to call it my digital watercooler in the early days), or industry peers, or gaming friends.

Other platforms don't really allow the same thing - and that's where I'm struggling in working out how to preserve that as we all find ourselves scrambling for whatever the next place is :(

This was a poor time for me to take a hiatus

That being said, I don't know where to go after this. I guess that blue one might be a good choice, I'm settled here, and Discord is my go-to these days for chatting but I genuinely feel like I'm losing people that I don't want to lose.
