Same, Pixel.

Came to Side7 just in case DA collapses even more. Used to be better in 2018 when I discovered it (as a viewer)

I use Deviantart for 15 years where I remember better times in deviantart

as I become better person, Deviantart ironically goes downhill simultaneously

I may be one of the newer members of dA, only using it for 7 years, but even I know better times when I see them. Screw Eclipse, and especially screw Wix.

I was influenced by DeviantArt because of 12 year old me looking at Kaa the Python pictures (the 1960s Disney version with the snuggly coils) that I looked at on Google images back in 2012. The Disney Jungle Book movie is the reason why I like jungles and constrictor snakes so much for the past 12 years. Besides that, I had my first DA account back in 2017. But, I deactivated it in 2022 because of my petty behavior and getting dragged into someone's drama. DeviantArt is not as good I expected. I feel disappointed...

I don't know how old or new Side7 is, but I'm glad I hopped on, this place is cozy

@SabakuKyuut777 unless confirmed to be dead Project, I never give up Artspacious

@Masonicon I thought artspacious was a dead project

In response to what Makeshift said, it's not just attention that trolls want. It initially started with messing with people, but it escalates to straight-up bullying in most cases. I've been told not to feed the trolls whenever I was being bothered by them, but in most cases, ignoring them somehow warranted them deciding that, since I wouldn't give them the reactions they wanted, they'll just spread lies and gossip about me to ruin my reputation; even tarnishing potential friendships which typically ended in me being blocked, or getting the silent treatment, or worse, they would dox me. From what I've heard from some of the OG members (and by OG, I mean they've been members since the site launched in 2000,) DeviantArt was apparently always a toxic hellhole, so there's really no winning here. Not that it matters anymore, I feel a lot safer here.

I heard DeviantArt used to be good.. I'm gonna rant a lot about it right now. I'm a 13-year-old, joined dA when I was 12,a year ago, and didn't tell anyone my age, but still said i was a minor. through those few months I was subjected to popular people immaturely getting infuriated at trollers (thats exactly what the trolls want!! they want you and your friends' attention!!) there was also drama going on with this one popular girl ;-; and not to mention the gross improperly-rated NSFW & fetish arts. someone with inappropriate content even DM'd me and it made me uncomfortable. i eventually couldnt handle the guilt of lying about my age and left safe to say I'm much more comfortable with my experience on Side 7 :)
