I just saw that. It's very cool! You are also allowed to upload images in your feed posts if you have favorites you want to share once you get a few followers and commenters. I would also check out @archangeltara and @panos and @DavidP . They are kind to beginners. Panos is gone for vacay tho for 2 months. Also check out @justrob as he is a master at prompts and styles and does tons of promptshares. Oh I forgot @EternaSky is also on X.

I think the irony is they use an AI to fight the bots and look for patterns. Well humans are fond of patterns like "thank you" and setting up serial posts that are titled the same. So the more they set the algorithm to stop patterns, the more they stop humans and not bots because bots learn quickly all the tiny little rules that get inputted into the algorithm. So now X has a known problem with too many bot accounts harvesting followers ... while they shadowban humans. Plus I don't think the engineers that suggest stuff for hte programs actually use X so they don't know how the niche communities worked. Basically X replaced the original Twitter staff who did understand the niche communities. Ad income is down 60% in the 2 years since X purchased it. If you shadowban people so they don't linger on the app, they aren't there to click the ads. Bots don't click ads (unless they're paid to).

he's a nice guy. X was giving me a hard time with shadowbanning posts so it wouldn't show on feeds or notifications. Imo was among one of the few who went directly to my profile as that was the only way to see my psots. X has gone crazy with their shadowbanning of people. Honestly I think it has more to do wtih my not paying X a sub because X kept sending me requests to sub. I just thought -- why would I pay for a platform that is shadowbanning my posts and comments. You (X) are behaving like the mafia -- pay me or else! I only did X because that's the only platform that BP is set up for affiliate status. It's not worth the frustration.

That's the weird thing I didn't expect from X. The AI art community is very nice and supportive of each other. They used to do QTs a lot where you invite a few people. They were very good about inviting new people who started posting. That is until MidMay when X started shadowbanning for mentioning people. I am surprised that commercial accounts are not up in arms because honestly people have backed off mentioning any account so that has to have an impact on reach for a lot of the X advertisers

@charlypalermo @chris70 @Unleashed @beastxyz @southamericanmyth Hi folks, this is one of the friends I made on X. I told him about BP so he's come over to try it. Give him a warm welcome, ok. imovibeart, these are my friends here who are also on X . They are pretty cool. Sealine already commented so I didn't put her on the list but she's on X too. We are limited to 5 tags in comments on BP. That's a new limit.

Ah dang, that's too bad CC. Fair enough if you want to leave it alone for a while at least. I could never use X tbh; I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to interactions with people😁

Oh at least the community was nice. Hmm, net policies have weird side-effects sometimes eh? The big ones will always over-correct to err on the side of caution, which ends up alienating the people. 😖

Welcome! Excellent picture! I'll check out your profile to see more. There are several of us here who like dragons, I suppose that's why you chose it for your first post.
