are u still gonna post art here after tumblr's partnership with openai and midjourney? :(

truthfully i was really disheartened by the news. this on top of the ceo's recent behavior has left an incredibly foul taste in my mouth. it just sucks since I've been in this site far longer than I've been on any other platform and it's been where i've been most comfortable, now it's making me reconsider staying here at all.

there are alternatives like cohost, sure but i've also made a lot of roots in tumblr which makes it hard for me to leave. if we're just talking about this art blog, i could easily just uproot and be somewhere else. but I've other blogs I've put a lot of effort into putting together and holds a lot of dear memories.

for the time being i think i will stay here, turn off the ai partnership/third-party sharing (i encourage everyone else to do so) and continue to operate as i usually do. i do continue to try and test the waters in bluesky and cohost though, but i haven't had a lot of free time to do so recently
