Piero Bosio Social Web Site Personale

@aeva @Mayabotics Oh gosh, that would be interesting!!!

And oh gosh, this statement in the article above _nails_ it:

"Social media sites are built for consumption, not creation."

cara.app seems to be good for hosting art and photography for the moment; I really hope that the folks there don't give into corporate whims...

I still have a fair bit of my writing up there, as I can't seem to find anywhere that resembles what dA used to be in terms of hosting creative writing. ScribbleHub and AO3 are more geared towards fanfic and/or long-form writing, not poetry like I mainly compose...

But over the years, the community there quickly vanished, and then at some point the site clearly started embracing AI, and so I took down pretty much all of my drawings and photographs because I don't want any of my stuff fed into their slop machine...

I started on dA a _long_ time ago, and although I never participated in nor invited to any of the clubs, I did meet quite a few other artists there and really enjoyed the site...

I just discovered this essay on Bluesky and oooof... it hit hard...

So far, the most popular photograph of mine on cara.app is this one. Gosh, I wish I could have said hi to her and told her what an amazing outfit she was wearing...
