My old cintiq 12WX is finally too old to draw on (smudges/spots in the screen). I'm kind of thinking of getting a new screen tablet but cintiq is too spendy for me atm. Looking at Huion Kamvas or XP-pen. Anyone have experience with either of these brands?

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky

Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back.

Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service

Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money!

Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow.

Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way.

Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages
Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts.

Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work).

Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting

It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

The urge to binge watch stranger things again before the final season drops at the end of the month..... I don't think I'm ready for what's to come 😭

I am opening new fursuit slots tomorrow at noon CET/Amsterdam time The form will be open until 23:59 Monday the 14th. No first come first served as always. Have a clear reference and idea of what you want, read everything carefully and take your time. Can't wait to see what cuties apply! 😊

My cat has been laying on my keyboard while I'm not using the PC and she managed to break several keys which are now either not working or registering strokes as double/triple/more and it's so annoying 😢 Thanks Mia This keyboard is from December rip
