Couple a years ago I've quietly stopped using twitter and other public platforms as means of sharing my artwork and studies. My timeline becoming filled with unnecesary info - was taking too much focus. And I was not alone in this, as one by one, my fiends would crawl into secret corner of afterdark accounts. I've also been following AI development before chatgpt exploding, and had a feeling that signing off your content to a corporation will be a big mistake. Over several years I've been either recording things into gifs storing them locally, or throwing a png onto some discord server. And to be honest -- This helped me to regain focus and I live a drastically happier life now. That said, there was a lot of stuff I was missing -- random connections with gamedev people or furry artists. It feels like this place is small but grass is greener where you water it.
