Should I post public art here as well?
Added 2025-01-22 14:22:19 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I'm trying to move away from Twitter for a while (because right-wing extremism is being promoted & allowed to flourish there) and so I was wondering if I should start posting my free public comics on Patreon. You know, like, the art I usually post on all my public social medias like Reddit, Bluesky, and Twitter.
Pros: (Almost) All of my art would be in one place. You wouldn't have to use any other social media site to keep updated.
Cons: Maybe too many emails/notifications from Patreon? There wouldn't just be exclusive content here anymore. If you follow me on another social media site(s), you might see the same comic multiple times.
Thanks for your feedback!
(Also! To people wondering where a game dev update is: I have 0 extra time this month, so instead of writing out a dev log, I decided to use that time to program instead. The sex scene is almost done! Still need to make script changes & debug. I really want to get this bonus chapter done before the month is over ๐ช)

ive like totally bailed on social media (unless patreon counts) so the fact that you have your own website has been the sole reason that ive been able to keep up with your art. i actually find it kinda fun to jump around multiple sites checking for updates, so in a wierd way i personally would preffer the public posts dont go on patreon. buuut i know im an outlier and its not something i actually feel that stongly about.

2025-01-24 05:08:54 +0000 UTCPlease also consider the Fediverse (Mastadon or Pixelfed), or at the very least bridging your Bluesky account so we can access it - requires no maintenance on your part! https://fed.brid.gy

2025-01-23 23:35:21 +0000 UTCYes please! That would be great!

2025-01-23 08:38:40 +0000 UTCWould love to see the public posts here too. And thank you for posting on bsky, it has been nice to still have your posts after I left had twitter.

2025-01-23 04:17:31 +0000 UTCI think if you posted them as free posts to patreon, people could disable "other posts" in the creator-specific notification settings while leaving "new paid posts" on. That should solve the spam issue, right?

2025-01-23 00:38:49 +0000 UTCYou had public stuf??? I didn't know I was just missing a ton of your content!

2025-01-23 00:30:07 +0000 UTCYES. Iโve been wanting this for so long, I always hate missing your public stuff when you donโt get recommended in my timelines ๐ฅบ

2025-01-22 22:07:52 +0000 UTCOh yeah, I def don't blame artists/content creators who depend on those sites for income for not leaving. NSFW creators especially don't really have a lot of places to go, so it's understandable. It just sucks that they have to deal with being on such toxic sites to survive :'I Good on you, though, and I hope you don't have to see as much foolishness anymore :D
Welcome to Heaven
2025-01-22 21:31:34 +0000 UTCI'm sure the important stuff's already been said, but thanks for caring about it ! I finally deleted Xitter and intagram yesterday, which will sadly make me lose a few artists I followed, but at this point I can't justify staying on there any longer while their ceo are busy being fascists (and I can understand, some artists still need the visibility a bigger plateform like xitter has, so I'm not necessarly mad at them, because they also still have to make a living, but yeah, it's obviously a big plus when they choose to care abou the value the plateform they're on choose to hold). Hopefully I'll be able to delete Fb soon as well (got some contacts I have to figure out how to keep in touch with outside of it). Can't say I'll be done with all of it, too many folks are on whatsapp to leave it, but at least I'm doing something. So I'm super down for artists I like to do the same ! And honestly, pretty sure it can only be a good thing even on your hand to have another plateform where your art is, in case shit happens.

2025-01-22 21:06:24 +0000 UTCYou're so right about everything! I'm staying away from all the apps of the CEOs who were at the inauguration (TikTok, Meta, Instagram, Threads, etc. I might have to ditch Tumblr in the future, bc I definitely don't trust Matt Mullenweg to protect trans people. On Twitter, I think I'll try to get my followers to move to better sites like Bluesky by privating my account & posting censored art). Hate will fester & explode in these spaces if they're not properly moderated. Erin in the Morning is def a great resource for information ๐โ๏ธ Also, ahh, thank you so, so much >///< I just do my best & try to spread my personal values through my art & don't worry, I'm doing what I love.
Welcome to Heaven
2025-01-22 19:41:32 +0000 UTCI've stopped visiting reddit and bluesky because honestly my heart rips itself in two any time I see a news article these days. Which, yeah, I know that's not necessarily good to keep myself in the dark, but my job already has me looking this shit in the face every day. So having all of your stuff here too would be very nice

2025-01-22 18:51:21 +0000 UTCThe more email notifications with your art the better as far as I'm concerned!

2025-01-22 18:07:11 +0000 UTCI think you should only stick to Reddit, Patron, Substack and Blue Sky would be good Heaven. I think you should move away from not using Facebook, Tik Tok or Instagram and only focus on Social Media Platforms that clearly aren't bias and have leadership trying to further hurt LGBTQIA+ People in the process or other minorities in question as well. And FYI, for anyone who is in the US and wants to follow/better understand news on US LGBTQIA+ stuff, follow Erin in the Morning where she releases updates on a map she created on US LGBTQIA+ Safety Maps every other month and is doing articles breaking down what's going on with the Executive Orders that the New US Presidential Administration is doing and whatever we may deal with as Project 2025 unfortunately starts in the US Anyways, moving back to brighter topics, I just want to say Heaven, you're are one of the inspirational people within the Transgender Community and LGBTQIA+, due to how wholesome your art has made me as someone who is BIPOC and others feeling seen, valued and actually know how it's like for us to feel like actually humans who participate in SFW or NSFW situations depending on the comic, and not as a p0rn category (fetishing our identity which there are some sick people in the world still do) which makes me feel valid and helps with my dysphoria a lot and I am sure it's a similar story with other people that is apart of your audience/subscribers as well Heaven. I hope you never change who you are Heaven, in not leading yourself towards burn out/overworked yourself creating LGBTQIA+ art and content for us and just thank you for being a awesome person.

2025-01-22 18:01:34 +0000 UTCYes, please.

2025-01-22 17:54:41 +0000 UTCI would love for it to be posted here, as well as say bluesky, if that's an option โค๏ธ thank you for the poll!
Eleesehn
2025-01-22 17:29:10 +0000 UTCOne option to keep down notifications would be to collect public posts into a single patreon post e.g. monthly. But honestly I don't think spam is an issue.

2025-01-22 17:03:08 +0000 UTCWe adore your work and are happy to see it.
Earl Ratliff
2025-01-22 16:58:48 +0000 UTCPlease please post it here! I don't check any of those social media (just mastodon) so patreon emails would enable me to keep up with everything
tbodt
2025-01-22 16:44:32 +0000 UTCOh, that's what I'm doing, don't worry! :'D It'll be a combo of public (free) posts and paid posts in the feed.
Welcome to Heaven
2025-01-22 15:17:39 +0000 UTCyou could definitely make those public too. I follow multiple creators at this point for their open for everyone posts, in the hope to soon sign up for the paid posts if I have money. If they're public people can also just follow here without paying to follow stuff, and already on the platform I'm sure people are more likely to end up as paid followers.
Ivan
2025-01-22 15:03:19 +0000 UTCYeah I'd much rather only check Patreon rather than also refreshing your website each time ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
Lera B
2025-01-22 15:02:48 +0000 UTCAs i'm more and more prone to boycott twitter considering lgbt+ treatment, i'd say either post public on blusky, or here, but twitter should fll in oblivion. Love your art sooooo much, so wholesome <3
Aerith G
2025-01-22 14:51:38 +0000 UTCPlease do! I got signed out of twitter months ago and havent had the heart to sign back in

2025-01-22 14:51:31 +0000 UTCI'd love to see you on fediverse instead of twitter :3 I follow your websites rss, but I wouldn't have anything against the public art on here as well
AuroraRainbow
2025-01-22 14:40:48 +0000 UTCI would kind of prefer them to be separated, as I already follow you on both Twitter and Bluesky, but it seems I'm very, very outvoted lol. That's okay ๐

2025-01-22 14:39:35 +0000 UTCSame!
Mer
2025-01-22 14:37:58 +0000 UTCYeah I think you can set various posts to be exclusive to various levels or open access
Elliana May
2025-01-22 14:36:00 +0000 UTCThat would be excellent. Yes, please!
TJ
2025-01-22 14:33:31 +0000 UTCThat's an overwhelming yes haha
Morpheus
2025-01-22 14:32:23 +0000 UTCGood idea! I'll try to remember to add an "exclusive" tag to relevant posts ๐ I feel like there's probably a built-in Patreon filter for that, but it doesn't hurt to be more accessible.
Welcome to Heaven
2025-01-22 14:29:22 +0000 UTCI would love to have all your art here! Especially when using the tags to filter down to what kind of art looking for - eg being able to see all Sasha/Emma in one place really easily!
Lily
2025-01-22 14:29:17 +0000 UTCI'm gonna be honest, like 99% of the reason I still use Twitter is to keep up with your public posts. Having them here would be great.

2025-01-22 14:27:21 +0000 UTCI believe she's already on bluesky
Angel
2025-01-22 14:25:38 +0000 UTCPersonally I'd love having notifications for all of your comics, whether they are exclusive or not :3 Need more wholesome cuteness <3
Art3mis
2025-01-22 14:24:56 +0000 UTCI vote yes! You don't post so often where the notifications would be annoying, and I like knowing when you post a new comic (I also don't go on social media super often, so it would be nice to not miss something). And I think you can change notification frequency of patreon? But don't quote me on that ๐
Mer
2025-01-22 14:24:54 +0000 UTCWould probably be good if you tagged it appropriately as well? So we could filter down to the exclusive stuff if we wanted
Elliana May
2025-01-22 14:24:36 +0000 UTCA few extra emails and a loss of specialness feels like a small price to pay. I find myself relying too much on the algorithm to bring your latest, and it would be awesome to just have it all in one place (and would almost certainly drive traffic to your paid tiers once you get eyeballs here)
Stephen Cooper
2025-01-22 14:24:31 +0000 UTCI use your site's rss feed to keep up with your public art, but I would certainly be in favor of it getting posted here as well.
Libra
2025-01-22 14:24:28 +0000 UTCYes please! I absolutely adore your work, but Iโm rubbish at remembering to refresh the several tabs I have open for your sites. Iโd *love* to get notifications here when you post and not just the exclusive stuff.

2025-01-22 14:24:09 +0000 UTCI have a Bluesky! welcome2h.bsky.social :3 (Edit: haha, yes :p)

2025-01-22 14:23:54 +0000 UTCSeconded
Ariel Haymarket
2025-01-22 14:23:52 +0000 UTCI'd love it if you posted here as well. I frequently miss your lovely art because I really don't use Twitter anymore for obvious reasons.
Lili Violett
2025-01-22 14:23:45 +0000 UTCI'm honestly sad to know I've been missing out on a bunch of your art!
Lucy Severine
2025-01-22 14:23:32 +0000 UTCWould you consider migrating your Twitter presence to Bsky?
