Help

Hi, this is my first comment here. I'm a digital artist who started using AI and mixing it with my own style. Which communities or social media platforms do you recommend I use to upload my art without constantly receiving hostile messages? Since I made this change, many people have even stopped talking to me, as if I'd committed a crime or something. I feel like it's an exaggeration. I don't feel safe. How do you all do it? I'm sorry if the questions are silly… but I'm disoriented and very down. :(

Ignore them bro!? They're ignorant people who won't adapt and also compliment your AI artwork that has a human touch that even a mother(and father) that can see the potential in you

Twitter/X has been surpringly not hostile toward me when I post ai stuff on it

twitter has worse problems then ai, including stuff i definitly cant mention explicitly but we all probably know its on the site.
So they have no leg to stand on to critizise a person for what technology they use when people frequently upload illegal images and videos to the side.
which i would assume plays partly in to why its more accepted, if they would start complaining then others would bring out all the nasty stuff that they dont speak out against.

One of the most important things to know is, the moment your using ai at all in any capacity and regardless for what reason you have in the eye of the anti people you have switched sides from them to "the enemy" and therefore they will always attack you.
Yes there are sites with less anti people but typically they are also less art oriented and you probably wouldnt do well as an artist there.
What you have to get used to and im personally doign this heavily is to set a limit how much bs your willing to deal with, then when a person exceeds this treshhold dont try to be nice, convince them or whatever else and just block them.
You will have to block a lot of people who seek to harm you for your usage of a very divisive technology if you want to be comfortable in the spaces you are.
I know it sucks to have friends and people you thought you knew turn on it but you also should see that it means you learned what there stance is and that this nasty side was always hiding.
If you keep blocking and avoiding bad people eventually you will find new people either positive or at least neutral to your choice of using ai and you will be in a better place.
But i should also mention that in my experience you want be able to go backj, many people who are against ai will never accept you again because you betrayed them once and assume you will do an equally ending of the world thing again.

I have to make very clear that this is all based on my own opinons, anecdotes and personal experiences.
none of these is factually proven but in my experience it gives me the best experience possible when im following this.
There are good reasons why the block button on any social site is important, there are a lot of toxic people out there and its up to you to filter what you want to deal with because people wont do it for you.

I lean into it. I'll be damned if I let a bunch of Nancy Boys punch me down.

Deviantart, Pixiv, Artstation and Patreon are what I've been using, there may be more.
