Yeah,,, I've sorta,,,, stopped making as much art, I have no idea where I would even post it if I was making more of it again! But oh well. And no problem, you deserve it!
Honestly, I think you should go for Bluesky, Tumblr and TikTok, their algorithm works better than Instagram now in my opinion. While DeviantArt is full of NFTS and Ai "art" (and recently they showed support to Israel too...), Twitter/X is a huge toxic place and is slowly dying thanks to Elon Musk.
I've not gotten a lot of engagement on Tumblr (which is fine, I just throw into the void and then leave, Tumblr is more for shitpost blogging) but I can promise you I will not touch Tiktok with a five foot pole haha nothing about that platform appeals to me and I make still art, I have no desire to try and turn them into videos. And yeah, I haven't posted art on Twitter in forever either. I only post on DA to archive my stuff and keep it in one place, but I hate the direction the platform has been taking for years now.
I appreciate the suggestions but I'm not really... looking to find a social media anymore, honestly! I'll always miss the golden age of DeviantArt, but what do I get out of online engagement from strangers anymore? I'm trying to make more of a life offline, and it's been hard and not always easy, but it feels like the right thing to do. I just don't have it in me to invest in an online place and try to build an audience anymore, especially with how low my art output is nowadays.
