Hey friends, Astro here.

I wanted to do a quick update to keep you guys posted on what I'm doing right now.

Today I have officially retired from Twitter/X.

This comes from two main reasons:

1- The multibillionare currently running it is, quite frankly a f***ing moron. And every change they make to the site makes me feel like shit for starting to use it in the first place, and makes the site harder to use for artists unless you're paying for Twitter Blue or trying to climb through the algorithm.

2- The community is incredibly toxic, I see harassment of innocent people on the daily. Specially those who are queer or neurodivergent. But the real deal-breaker for me is the art community. It's grown toxic to a point where I feel anxiety and insecurity every time I'm about to post new art, and I don't really wanna deal with that anymore.

Now, am I gonna fully shut down my Twitter? No. But I'm not gonna use it for anything besides "lurking", or talking to mutuals through DM's.

So what happens next?

I don't plan on leaving NewGrounds anytime soon, of course. I always idealized this website as my main platform anyways.

But this also means that my online art will exclusively be posted here. Alongside my Tumblr. and Instagram. Which you can find in here.

As well that I'm probably gonna be posting less (like I'm not already doing that lol) so I can try to figure out what type of content I wanna be making online.

That's all I gotta say for now.
