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

@Masonicon I thought artspacious was a dead project

In response to what Makeshift said, it's not just attention that trolls want. It initially started with messing with people, but it escalates to straight-up bullying in most cases. I've been told not to feed the trolls whenever I was being bothered by them, but in most cases, ignoring them somehow warranted them deciding that, since I wouldn't give them the reactions they wanted, they'll just spread lies and gossip about me to ruin my reputation; even tarnishing potential friendships which typically ended in me being blocked, or getting the silent treatment, or worse, they would dox me. From what I've heard from some of the OG members (and by OG, I mean they've been members since the site launched in 2000,) DeviantArt was apparently always a toxic hellhole, so there's really no winning here. Not that it matters anymore, I feel a lot safer here.

I heard DeviantArt used to be good.. I'm gonna rant a lot about it right now. I'm a 13-year-old, joined dA when I was 12,a year ago, and didn't tell anyone my age, but still said i was a minor. through those few months I was subjected to popular people immaturely getting infuriated at trollers (thats exactly what the trolls want!! they want you and your friends' attention!!) there was also drama going on with this one popular girl ;-; and not to mention the gross improperly-rated NSFW & fetish arts. someone with inappropriate content even DM'd me and it made me uncomfortable. i eventually couldnt handle the guilt of lying about my age and left safe to say I'm much more comfortable with my experience on Side 7 :)

This site is giving me old school dA vibes. I miss the old layout to DeviantArt.

Hi everyone!!! All I want to say now is that this site is wonderful! One million percent better than the disaster called Eclipse (the so-called ''modern DeviantArt''). Real DA was between 2000-2020. SIde7 seems to be promising :D

I stick with this platform as I wait for Artspacious to open it's doors for us

I killed my Facebook for a couple reasons. First of all, I didn't want to deal with all of the trolls fasely accusing me of p**ophilia, as well as gaslighting me by making me feel like I was using autism as an excuse, which is something I would never do because I know better. Second, it damaged my mental health, which is why I think Facebook is worse then DeviantArt to me.

Wirt likes cheese.

Helo pplz

DeviantART was the closest thing I had to an online home too. I decided to join here because DeviantART made some really dumb decisions, and I know for a fact DeviantART is gonna be gone within the next 5 years

dA was the closest thing I had to an online home since middle school, Eclipse and DreamUp were the final straws.

I mostly quietly post to DeviantArt and replying to comments from fans. I’m still staying away from the forums though, since some people want to waste time being cynical on there.

I could not stand DA because of the political drama and immature losers starting drama, being mean on purpose, and causing problems for no reason. I'm grateful this group exists on Side7. Though, I'll admit, I made a meme yesterday and it was content advisory, so, I deleted it because I felt bad for not understanding what trollbaiting is.

I deleted my Deviantart for bunch of reasons including mental health ones

I'm a DeviantArt refugee. I used to like DeviantArt, but nowadays, I can't stand it anymore. However, Facebook to me is worse. I'm so glad I gave those sites up because there's so many obnoxious people on there.

That icon is such a gut-punch. :')
