FA+

Effectively gone back to lurking

General
I know I haven't posted anything in quite a while, and the reason is very simple: I got fed up with FurAffinity.
What broke the camel's back for me was the "fix" or the "upgrade" of the old submission upload size limit of 1280x1280 to the new one 2560x1440. I consider it more a stealth downgrade and a ploy to get people to suscribe to FA+, than an actual fix.
In the past, people could reupload their image in a high resolution and bypass the original limit, and this bug had been there and well known for well over a decade. The fact that it only got fixed now, and replaced with a limit that is laughable considering the size limits other sites offer only points at the fact that this is a bandwidth/budget saving measure, not a real upgrade. The fact that this was marketed as an upgrade felt insincere. I had been already been pinching my nose when uploading stuff here due to how decrepit the site feels nowadays, but I tolerated it because the options have been so poor. Well, not anymore. Currently I'm pretty much only using FA to follow artists, rather than post anything, because not only do I not want to drive any more traffic here, I wouldn't wanna waste their precious goddamn bandwidth.
Now, you might be thinking: "where can we find your stuff?"
Well, nowhere. I have no other gallery right now. I still haven't found acceptible alternatives, so rather than choose "the least worst option" of public NSFW art galleries, I'm simply not posting stuff anywhere publicly. Because that is an option, too.
This isn't a spur of the moment thing or something that just started, I just... kind of de facto made that decision, when everytime in the past few months I would think of uploading something, my head just went UGGGHHH instead. This is simply the first time I make any kind of public fuss about it.
So yeah.

But yeah, i get ya fam.
Recently ulpoading here feels muxh more hollow too? Much less interactions between people, less views kinda.
I don't have other ideas besides twitter, which is ...not very good.
2. For private/semi-private groups/spaces, I'm already established enough on Discord to switch over, or to juggle between that and Telegram
And you almost never reply.
