The fedi is also a little bit shit for artists and I have empirical data and experiential from the uncomfortable position of community conduit and seeing ALL the frustration and burnout of creatives and the infinite challenges of performative social media plus obscenely shifting platform goal posts.
And the world is even shitter so it felt important to come back for a month of comfy channel pop-up and the month long artists streaming series fest to rally the artists.
