Gallery websites are a far fucking cry from the kind of interaction and community you could get from Tumblr and even Twitter at its peak. There’s also a ton of stuff you just can’t post (or maybe that’s “view”? Or “view while logged out”?) on a site like paheal. e621 is a little more libertine, i guess. From an artist’s perspective, both of these are trash. From a queer perspective they kinda suck, too, and the tagging systems on both sites leave much to be desired. Yeah, maybe for consuming porn these can be replacements but i am not convinced at all.
My point with bringing those up though was that there are other communities than Twitter out there. They might suck right now but they don’t have to always. If the crowd leaves Twitter to make their communities elsewhere, maybe you could get that sort of interaction on those platforms. Or make your own new platform.
I admit it’s a stretch, but it’s possible. Mostly I just want to see people stop funding Musk. I’ll grasp at straws for that.
