That's honestly fair which is why I wont judge folks who make that decision. I've had my account since 2017 so prior to the buyout bs but I've still got a huge backlog of art there that isn't really up elswhere save for a few sites. Stil even then I'd contemplated leaving (not deleting tho) but since it was only matters of ownership then I was willing to stick it out since "I was here first" but when it got into all the ai nonsense my activity started to waver more drastically so I've just bounced between locking my account and getting more heavy handed with watermarking when i did post

I am still super pissed at the timing of it all because I really have been connecting with a lot more people and hell just had like a handful of folks i look up to start following me among others who had in the past so it's like frustrating having to uproot for the umpteenth time when I'm finally building bridges. So if anything the frustration has that kid who's been moving towns a ton vibe to it where I've got to keep starting over. The only comfort being that I've been doing well on bsky and starting to get back into a rhythm of being more active and been having a lot of fun on tumblr posting whatever between sideblogs so it sucks but it's not all bad. I'm just hoping people actually like...move to these places as well so I dont have to keep losing touch with folks which is like the big thing nagging me out of it all

Edit: i felt like I had to add the statement but ironically the art theft/editing isn't even my biggest concern but instead people with photos of themselves their pets or whatever else. Revenge porn is already a known thing, doctored videos have been rampant and there's been tons of cases about voices and likenesses being taken so as much as I want to protect my work I'm more worried for the safety of others now being put at risk. Like the art stuff is bad too we've more than seen its impact but I can't shake thinking about that more
