(Sorry, incoming ramble) I liked DA because it was seen as "THE art site," and I made a few decent friends on there, but sadly, AI made the site turn to slop, plus there were a LOT of creeps, especially minors who made/said a lot of things they shouldn't (which was a result of being given access to the Internet at far too young of an age. There was a TEN YEAR OLD drawing things I don't even want to repeat in text). I'm glad I found this site because literally everyone I've come across so far is incredibly nice and also very mature, unlike a lot of people I met on DA. I'm glad I found this place (it was via a YT comment on an Izzzyzzz video lol) and I hope it gets much more recognition from actual artists. I did walk away from 100 followers (which is more than I've ever had on any social media site), but it was worth it. It was almost like the transition from high school to college. It's awesome to meet you all and connect via our art!

Ai is patronizing garbage.

Was on DA for... maybe 20 years before I deleted my account because of AI. It was always a little odd as a website, with some serious drama going around. But it was a place I loved and was sad to let go of. I had hundreds of works on there... It's a shame, but it is what it is. I'm glad I found this place again :)

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
