Just a little personal update and some nebulous plans for the future of this sub.
I do want to start a list of online shops, and one for tutorials (or out that in the wiki) etc, maybe add some flair options as well. Oh, and a thread for apps, both free and with paid options, because a lot more of those are coming out now.
I am also considering having a monthly post where you can link to your own shop etc, but that is entirely up to the community. I originally banned promoting shops and sales because some people were spamming nothing but that, and it was starting to look like just a spam sub with more advertising than actual discussion.
I promise I haven’t forgotten all these things, I’ve just been busy surviving, as well as dealing with my other big sub. The Met Gala recently happened, so I’ve had my hands full going through all the damn comments and removing inappropriate stuff there, which can be exhausting lol.
I will probably also sticky a post with explanations and sources for why I don’t allow linking to or discussing purchasing from sites like Temu, SHEIN, and Aliexpress, when I have some energy to pull together the best sources for the information. And that rule will never be up for debate, btw.
Having the new mods who offered to help has been a great help, and I am very thankful to them.
Is there anything else you guys would like to see happen? Any major issues you would like to see discussed? Any subs you think I should add to the sidebar? I saw someone mention craftexchange the other day, so that’s probably one I should add.
And please, if you do see something negative happening on a post, like that big issue with the AI image from a little while back, reach out to the mod team via the sidebar, or even message me directly. I promise not to bite your head off, unless you are being deliberately antagonistic and rude or insulting.
