I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'"

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads:
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"

Instead of writing a prompt for an ugly collection of stolen images, give me $1 and I will use my non-dominant hand to draw your #OC and give you 100% human-made ugly art. The best part is that I might actually improve from the practice with my left hand! Wow! Human stuff!

In fact you can pick both of those up for $20 as a bundle with our other two games, an adorable block pushing puzzler and an SMB1-like prequel to the gay foxgirl platformer Kitsune Tails itch.io/s/169922/kit...

My contribution to the game difficulty debate is I made an SMB3 style platformer with a mode where dying simply pops you back up immediately on a flying cloud and with cheats beyond that

Just like I made a turn-based roguelike with a mode that gives you infinite lives, which also has a cheat menu

Made a labradorite dragon chain today :)

Large rectangular labradorite pendant with a dragon carved into the surface. There is gold and blue flash in the stone. The pendant is strung on a handmade stainless steel chain of byzantine weave links. It would look at home at any Ren faire.

Still looking to raise some funds so I can get back to work. Been a thin few years, and this is happening just as I’m trying to finish a big personal project, and also means, I can’t take on any jobs in the meantime.

Any help, even sharing, is appreciated.

Thanks!

They see their little project is failing, they know genAI has a bad rep and people are less likely to buy something if they see it's made with AI, so they're getting desperate and now they want to fool the consumers 🤷‍♀️

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give
