I really don't think any artist or furry should stay on Twitter, mainly due to their A.I. program no longer giving users the option to turn off the training feature and the fact that EVERYTHING you post on Twitter no longer belongs to you. If you are an artist, this hurts because now your platform is no longer your own. Every art piece is now stolen and under the rightful ownership of Mr. Musky Husky and anyone who would use the Frankenstein creator program known as Grok. If all of that isn't enough for you to leave as an artist, I don't know what is at this point.
I already left a while ago. Not gonna get political, but I’m definitely getting tired of the BS on that platform. The scam and sex bots are a big turn off. I’m tired of fake users spamming my DMs.
If it weren't for the fact that a lot of furry artists are still on Twitter only i'd have left it shortly after it was purchased by the Musky Husky. A social media platform isn't worth it without the users to engage with, and i'm already used to the enshittification or loss of websites I love so what's yet another move? That said I'm having a really good time with Bluesky, especially curating what I wanna see without getting ads shoved in, and I hope it keeps up that way!
Here's an obscure metaphor for my take on this situation: Twitter is Yokuda and we are The Ra Gada heading East to carve out a new homeland. Basically; We should leave now.
AI honestly shouldn't exist. It's out of control and it's literally being implemented everywhere. Since it's creation, all kinds of people from all over the internet are having their works being used to train AI to make it for people who can't be bothered to do it on their own, which is taking away from the art of creation. Deviantart is one of the best examples of this. I used to be able to browse the site for ages without seeing anything AI-generated, but now it's impossible to find something someone has actually made! Every platform is slowly becoming plagued with AI and soon real creators will be completely wiped out. That's why we need to leave now.
Never had an account myself. I will probably get somewhat political below, but, I would go as far as to say that Twitter never really was good, just like Facebook, but at least before Musk entered the room it was manageable, and actual neo-Nazis also saw the boot, which Musk brought back, to the point the platform is now also seeing a resurgence of such activity. More recently X got briefly banned in Brazil after Musk refused to comply with their requests to ban just a few harmful accounts and called them "fascists" (irony much?), but got unbanned once he started losing money and eventually complied. Couple that with changes like AI training, your own posts no longer belonging to you, and you got yourself quite the garbage platform. Everything the rich boys touch, withers away. Such a highly unexpected development! For furries, frankly it's probably a pretty manageable alternative to just stick to YT community posts for news, polls, and discussions instead, in addition to migrating to BlueSky. In fact, most of the people relevant to us were already on those platforms anyway, especially the creators. As far as I'm concerned, not much value was lost in the fall of X, and would even say it was perhaps long overdue...
I don’t see the actual point of politics all it does is divide people like to constantly insulting one another just based on their belief of politics alone, least in the us, if we could all get our butts together and just do things that can make a better future I’m sure we could be very well off, but nah
Hey there! I do recommend BlueSky, reason being that their tools to moderate your timeline the way you want it is very good, combined with a growing community. This way you can exclude and include anything you like! I myself have several lists of specific interests so I can browse bluesky differently depending on my mood or what I am looking for :)
oof yeah, I saw the tier video 😅 Funny to hear your intro right after watching a video called "the benefits of being a stinky little guy" Yes, don't be on Twitter!
I left because Elon made me, my account got read only mode just by trying to make friends in the trans community as well, many use X, and now I am competently kicked out all because of a reason they don’t want to give so I don’t know the reason
Bluesky is very promising. I've had a great time so far. Very different to Twitter in terms of vibes. I feel like being on Twitter is just asking for trouble at this point. It's overrun with hate & bots. Not to mention the recent policy changes :/
I abandoned my Twitter, but will consider logging out of Twitter indefinitely since Elon Rat infected Twitter with bringing back the fleas (the users who were justfiably banned as far as I remember).
When Elon musk bought twitter, imo it started to get way more political than fun for everyone. So I don’t blame the furries leaving twitter. That’s all I have to say xd
was watching as I was wondering if you would make that musky husky joke about Elon. I mean, I don't hate the guy but I don't love him either. I'm just kinda eh, which is why I didn't really go back to Twitter whenever he bought it.

You should add a link to your blue sky account in the description! ^-^
Already left
Great new video! I remember wanting to move over to bluesky before, but you apparently needed an invite (yes I know now you don’t, but eh)
I really don't plan on leaving X/twitter really if other do want to leave twitter that's their choice.
I moved to Blue Sky some time ago. I don't even use twitter anymore.
The BS on X has getting bd. I'm in the process of leaving. Awesome video and job.
Do you guys want a drummer?
Don't leave..we still have much to offer even if some don't like us...lifting spirits is worth it🐾
Do you think that there is A way we can Make A Whole New Twitter-Like App JUST For Furries? With absolutely NO Politics?
I don’t see the actual point of politics all it does is divide people like to constantly insulting one another just based on their belief of politics alone, least in the us, if we could all get our butts together and just do things that can make a better future I’m sure we could be very well off, but nah
Kinda There is one for baby furs no app yet thugh

I have some I follow (non furries) I am waiting for to go over to bluesky - then I leave twitter.....
I abandoned my Twitter, but will consider logging out of Twitter indefinitely since Elon Rat infected Twitter with bringing back the fleas (the users who were justfiably banned as far as I remember).
maybe I get blue sky ? 🐾❤❤❤🐾
I have never had twitter and never will. Honestly I keep my social media platforms very minimal, like UA-cam and Twitch is all I am on nowadays.
