A friend of mine knows a few artists that are scrambling to find an alternative because Twitter has completely hamstrung them. They’d use the platform to promote their work and then people could contact them to make commissions.
If they are selling/promoting their work, they should also start on threads soon. People are still actively building followers, which I imagine will start to settle down after a while.
The problem is obviously that they already had an established following and network of creators on that platform. They’d boost one another and so their followers would find other creators.
I personally won’t miss Twitter but I feel bad for the people who lose their livelihood because of lil Musk and his constant need to wave his wang in our faces.

That’s been pulled from under them.
Threads is the obvious choice for them.
Perhaps a dual presence on both Threads and Mastodon? Remember we’re on Lemmy, we wanna support using fediverse services when possible
For us yes, but those artists probably don’t care about federation they just want exposure.
Not sure why I’m getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious.
Twitter allows for NSFW art which is why a lot of artists use Twitter. Threads doesn’t allow nsfw.
i feel like Tumblr is the obvious artists choice, threads is too sterile and has porn banned
