*✧ Floris ✧* Looking for work!!@florisnemis.bsky.social · 3mo ago

It's finally happening, I'm reopening commissions! 🌟🍃🌱 Lots of options to choose from this time! (Limited slots available) I'm also soft launching a membership tier that i hope to expand on in the future. Times have been rough lately, so any support and shares are super appreciated! 💖

“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting

Yeah I think we need to start seriously discussing UBI as the way forward from this world with fewer jobs and unchecked firings They hate it because, like unions, it reduces desperate dependence on your bosses, but I think it's the only way forward now

UBI also isn't a world where everyone is paid the same. UBI is the *baseline.* The *minimum* amount of money everyone is guaranteed whether they have a job or not. Under such a system, you could still get a job and make a paycheck on *top* of that. But unemployment wouldn't mean homelessness.

Same with art. Everyone would get so many more amazing indie games, comics, animations and other creative projects fuelled by nothing but the love of the craft and being able to feed ourselves. Support artists so we can continue to provide the enrichment and beauty that defines our humanity.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

The idea of artists peaking at 30 is ✨ridiculous✨ and clearly stems from nervous, burnt out 20yo's cause anyone older knows that artists only get better with time, experience and practice. Every single great master in history is way over 40 when they finally become renowned.

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

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.
