NSFW Art Server (Twitter Fallout Bunker)

  • No* chance the platform will suddenly decide you should not see half of your messages
  • Nowhere near as easy to have your account hacked and all messages deleted (Discord)
  • Very likely to have a better search built into your client than any other messaging platform
  • Everyone already has it (and it's trivial to make a furry/art specific one if needed)
  • Allows direct attachment of files that should be large enough for MOST finished works, excluding most video
  • At this point, not any less private than any other common messaging platform
    • Still reeling at how "Private Messages" got turned into "Direct Messages" and no one batted an eye

in reply to @PlumPanAD's post:

Probably correct, but it still feels like a lawyer went up and went "hey you can't say these are private if we're going to scrape them. Change the name." and again, NO ONE cared and just assumed they were private.

the one thing I need to point out here is that

No chance the platform will suddenly decide you should not see half of your messages

is very false if you're using any big hosted e-mail service -- "e-mail deliverability" is a sprawling nightmare field and it's absolutely possible for your e-mails to disappear into a mysterious hole never to return -- and the only way you can guarantee this is to run your own, unfortunately

otherwise 100% correct

Mmm this is true, I have myself dealt with and troubleshot a few times of an email just, never showing up.

I'd say it's still a lot less likely than, whatever the fuck twitter does, but "No chance" is in fact inaccurate.

I run a couple of email servers and yeah, it's absolutely possible for email to just Not Make It, even in cases you are running your own server. It's sad that email reliability has gone down mostly in the name of "fighting spam" but it's still quite good in most cases

I can't speak for others but my issue with email as a service has always been that I was taught from a young age to treat email like actual mail where a level of formality and effort is expected to justify somebody taking the time to read your message, which into adulthood has seemed to be the basis on which most of the world uses email, so it just becomes a source of anxiety sending something as informal as "hey could you please draw a pin-up of my shark girl in a swimsuit, here's some refs!"

That is a bit of a hurdle, I was also the same. But I think that can also be mitigated by an artist saying "just email me like you would a note, no need to be formal". That doesn't entirely fix the problem but some assurance in the ToS would help a lot I imagine.
