  It’s integral to them because the bulk of their audience, including crowdfunders and commissioners and other potential paying customers, remains there. It can be a difference between having a viable artistic career or needing another job. Xitter is in clear decline and worse by the day, but it still outnumbers the alternatives by hundreds of millions.

    Then the solution is for people who like art to accept invites and follow them on BlueSky.

    Or to use Mastodon.

    it still outnumbers the alternatives by hundreds of millions of active users.

    Hundreds of millions of those active users don’t care about art unless Elon’s stealing it.

      It’s definitely better for them to move out but that’s a whole process, if they want to try to bring even a fraction of their audience along.

      Hundreds of millions of those active users don’t care about art unless Elon’s stealing it.

      Eh, by that measure there’s nowhere to go, because even here I see some people with a wild disregard towards art.

      But really, there are people who care or those artists wouldn’t ever have had a career to begin with.
