   So today I decided to get a post off my chest, I don't think there will be any future art sites and the future will be federated.
   
   Coding one is above my pay grade, but I decided to make this to hopefully influence someone out there.

     @Pawlicker I think @japananon is still hosting a Tor instance for his Onionket event, which serves as a general-purpose instance for artists you can tip with Monero thanks to built-in function of Mitra. Basically Twitter and Patreon in one flask. The content is what you'd expect from baraag timeline, but that's beyond the point. It proves that it's less of technical issue as we already have the technology, and more of a social one. Majority of artists I've seen happen to be not too techincally inclined, to say politely, and also strong conformists rejecting whatever hivemind deemed bad (AI, crypto).

     @get @Pawlicker I can say for sure fchan died due to CP spam because it is a chan and not because it's federated. You can leave any basic TinyIB installation unattended for a week and you'll be sure to return to at least one "vid pic lolita" spam post.

     @get @Pawlicker I'm saying that as someone who wasted his teens on hosting a bunch of imageboards. At least I developed some basic sysadmin skills.

     @mint @get Josh had the same shit happen when he tried to run 9chan as well but even when he filtered that out (he had access to the cuckflare database before the war with brick face happened), what made him offload it was when some fedposter made a threat towards Israel leading to the fbi contacting him.

     @Pawlicker @get Yeah, fedposting was less of a thing in Russian chanosphere. People mostly used it as an escape from life rather than a background commentary to it.

     @mint @get arguably it's a newer thing too.
     
     It's only nowadays that people use the web as an escape, for many people iexplore.exe was a game. The internet was only an escape if your life was completely broken irl and that's why the extremely online types are the way they are.

     Misskey, judging by its wide usage, seems to provide most of the functions artists are interested in.
     For now, social discoverability works well enough. Tagging and some sort of content taxonomy could be added.
     A fedi instance build with an extensible architecture supporting addons would be nice.
     
     Tell you the truth I think that the way forward is real decentralized communities. I've been looking at how the Ethereum community is organized which despite massive shilling attempts it is still functioning. And they do this by having multiple sites, each with a different purpose. They have a developer's forum, a couple of subreddits, a stackexchange, a feature development forum, newsletters, irl meetings, etc.
     
     Btw, is any one of ourguys running a lemmy server?

     That's okay, a lot of those tumblr-tier degens like it.
     Pretty sure there was a female tumblr subculture where they'd intentionally get into situations where they'd get raped because rape was the best expression of being wanted.

     @mint @japananon It's funny because someone I know did digging on graphic art programs used by 90s computer artists in Japan, and one trend he found is that a lot of artists back then were actually also computer nerds and/or programmers. I'm talking, "writing a program to use a Wacom on your PC-98 in DOS" inclined.

     @Pawlicker @japananon Computers weren't as bogus until like mid-2000s, so if you had computer before then, chances are you were interested in how they work.

     @mint @japananon Also programming was lower level, at least with computers with DOS/BASIC/similar OSes you were very low to the hardware level as opposed to UNIX or Windows NT. This was even more important with consoles.
     
     Case in point; one chiptune composer talking about how a pinball machine was programmed by syncing up sound and audio on lowly m6809 hardware and talking about a lost art when FM Synthesis died off; making a soundtrack never "skip" a note and being completely dynamic. Essentially when something like the ball drain would happen the game would switch soundtracks (and the iMUSE system in Dark Forces did something similar).

     @pomstan @japananon @mint at least if you look up what a lot of 90s era Japanese PC game composers looked like back in the day, they definitely had the "nerd" appearance. I'm sure the same applies with the programmers and graphic artists.
     
     Oh, and they made some real bangers for game OSTs that can't even scrape 10k views. Like Keishi Yonao for example made some truly banger X68000 OSTs that made full use of the OPM.

     @japananon @mint @pomstan and then there's Ryu Umemoto (RIP) who made some very "outsider" sounding VGM at times. The shop demo song (which is also on FMP Music Disk 5 if you want to hear it on your PC-98/emulator) comes to mind:
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLOqRHi927g
     
     Other OSTs and random tracks:

     >it's less of technical issue as we already have the technology, and more of a social one

     Based on results, I agree. The tools are there, most people just aren't willing/able to use them. I'm just here for the fractional number of outliers who are.

     @laurel there's nostr which is trying to be full decentralized.
     
     And yeah misskey I've seen goes the furthest with artist friendly features, given who developed it too.
