PSA: If You are on Twitter, Share your Alternative Social Accounts Now

November 17, 2022 by Chikorita157 5 Comments
Meanwhile at Twitter HQ, things aren’t looking so great.

Last week, I made a PSA to the AniBlogosphere to start looking for alternatives to Twitter. After all, Twitter has a significant possibility of going bankrupt with the FTC fining Twitter and possibly shutting it down for the decree they currently have. In other words, things are not looking great.

Now, there is news that 90% of the remaining employees have resigned. It’s because they don’t want to work 84 hours a week and be forced to work to their limit with no overtime pay. This will mean that Twitter can go down for long periods or indefinitely as there aren’t many people manning the ship.

With the recent news that Twitter closed all the buildings with badge access suspended, we are possibly seeing the endgame of Twitter or the speed run to kill a company/platform off. While some don’t believe that Twitter will end, the end of Twitter is now here, or close to it. So it’s time to prepare your alternate social accounts.

I know Mastodon, similar to Twitter but decentralized, is getting slammed. Still, it’s probably best to join a smaller server for most anime fans and content creators. I thought this would happen and set up a server called Sakurajima. Many bloggers and anime fans have already joined with a good amount of activity. If you need help getting around Mastodon or setting up Auto Post with WordPress, all is in this guide. If you are looking for other alternatives, see my previous post on why to think about alternatives. After all, I don’t want you to lose contact with your friends and followers.

Breaking: Twitter could go down at any time now.

With that, here are my alternative profiles you can follow:

  • Blog – https://chikorita157.com
  • Mastodon – https://sakurajima.moe/@chikorita157
  • Tumblr – https://tumblr.chikorita157.com
  • WordPress Reader – https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/50814868
  • Discord – chikorita157#2077

Be sure to have a backup of your Twitter account and remove all connections with Twitter before leaving.

If you need assistance joining the Sakurajima Mastodon server or help using it, use the comment section on this post.

PSA: Start Thinking about Alternatives to Twitter and Migrate Now, Here’s Why

November 13, 2022 by Chikorita157 7 Comments
This is pretty much anyone trying to move from Twitter before it’s eventual demise.

With Twitter doing a speed run for killing its platform for good, I’m surprised that nobody mentioned Twitter alternatives besides the Anime Feminist back when a certain billionaire decided to buy the platform in April.

From what I am experiencing, very few posted alternate profiles. From this, I fear that most will get caught flatfooted when Twitter goes bankrupt or suddenly shutdown by regulators, probably sooner than we expect.

Given that most anime fans and bloggers use Twitter to socialize, there is a huge possibility that many will lose contact with friends or connections made on the platform. I want to bring attention to this in the anime blogosphere to start thinking about your escape plan. Then, I will explain one alternative most people are switching to.

I thought of that and started to create an alternative to it.

The AI Anime Generated Art Controversy – My Take

October 28, 2022 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment
Now anyone can create AI generated art work at their fingertips, but is it a good thing?

Earlier this year, AI advancements were made as DALLE was revealed to the public, making compelling images. It allows users to generate images from a text prompt. However, the latest version is not open to the public.That all changed this month.

Earlier this month, NovelAI released their image generator that uses similar methods as DALLE to generate anime-themed images. While it’s impressive how decent the images are, they caused much controversy in the anime fanart and V-Tuber community. So, you might wonder what my opinion is on this whole thing. I decided to try the image generator on NovelAI, and no, it will not replace fan art and anime art commissions for various reasons, which I will go into.
