This has been a thing on these new platforms. Discord servers can be places to connect. I personally find Artstation plagued by scammers, and they of course scrape your data. I am hoping Blsky & Cara will grow. There's always Mastadon and federated servers, though those can be sparse as well

X is a cesspool, and unsafe for free thinking sane individuals. Have you tried Cara?

Sounds like you need to have lots of reference material on-hand. nom nom nom 🧁

I love this! 💜
