There is a known issue between certain ISPs and our DNS provider causing some users to be unable to connect to baraag unless they use a VPN. It may be some time before we can get this resolved.

People debate whether AI will ever be able to create good art. The answer is no. It’s impossible. If AI progresses exponentially for 100 years it still won’t be able to create any art, even bad art. That’s because art by definition is an expression of the human heart. It’s a language that can only be spoken or understood by beings with rational souls. AI can create spectacle. It can create distraction. In that sense it can create “entertainment” in its cheapest and most worthless form. But you can only confuse the machine’s soulless bullshit with art if you have made yourself nearly as numb and soulless as the machine itself.

@Correction__Guy sure, you may reapply with links to your art. Just be aware that applications will be rejected automatically if they do not contain any art references.

There was a bug in our automated system that is only supposed to auto-reject applications from artists that do not include reference links to art. If your application was rejected even though you provided examples of your art, please try again. Apologies for the trouble.

after you have made an account on misskey.gg, go to the search bar from the menu on the left. Click on "Users" on the stop of the page above the search box input field, then type in "Sydus" and hit search. When the results appear, simply click on the plus + symbol of the baraag profile card for SydusArts.

thank you for upholding the fact that baraag has a zero tolerance policy for users sharing or soliciting real abuse content. However, I must emphasize that baraag is not exclusive to any kind of specific content. The community is for *all* artists, it just so happens that because we take freedom of expression so seriously, it attracts problematic creators that have no where else to go.

@0x164C9DFC @AubreanReverie baraag is actively and strictly moderated to ban all real life porn, including legal adult porn. either you are spreading lies, or you are mistaking posts that feature real life cp originating from servers elsewhere such as pawoo.

@AubreanReverie Be careful with Baraag. I see posts originating from it sometimes in my Misskey global tab and it regularly shows real life cp

I promised you guys a big master list of Japanese Twitter alternatives for artists. Here it is. A lot of Western artists don't realize that Japanese artists never centralized on X the way we did. They've been running multi-platform strategies for years; Pixiv for portfolio, Twitter for community, Skeb for commissions, Misskey for decentralized backup, etc and so on. They saw what we're only now learning: relying on a single platform is a structural weakness. While we were building our entire careers on one site, they were spreading risk and building redundancy. That being said, here I'd a master list of some of the platforms they've been using, and why you should consider them now: General art websites: Pixiv - Most of you already likely know about this one. It's largest Japanese art-sharing platform. Functions as both portfolio and community hub. Strong discovery features, tagging system, and built-in commission functionality. Pixiv has been the standard for Japanese artists since 2007. Xfolio - Portfolio platform specifically designed for professional artists and illustrators. Clean, minimalist presentation focused on showcasing finished work rather than social engagement. Popular for job hunting and client acquisition. Misskey - Decentralized, federated social platform (like Mastodon but Japanese-originated). User-run instances mean no single corporate owner can pull the rug out. Popular with artists who want Twitter-like functionality without centralized control. The downside is that you need to operate your own server. Nijie - Similar to Pixiv but allows more mature content, popular with certain artist communities Skeb - Commission-focused platform (clients request, artists accept/decline, no revisions allowed) pixivFANBOX - Pixiv's Patreon-like subscription service for creators Nico Nico Seiga - Illustration sharing tied to Nico Nico Douga (the video platform) Federated/Decentralized: Pawoo - Mastodon instance specifically for artists, originally run by Pix Baraag - Another Mastodon instance popular with artists (international but has Japanese userbase) Portfolio/Professional: ART street - By MediBang, focused on illustration sharing and contests Galleria - Portfolio platform Pixiv Sketch - More casual/sketch-focused than main Pixiv. Mobile-focused ibisPaint - Has a social sharing component built into the drawing app Most Japanese artists tend to maintain presence on multiple platforms simultaneously (Pixiv for main portfolio, Twitter/X for WIPs and community, maybe Skeb for commissions). The migration hasn't been as dramatic in Japan as in Western artist communities, which is to their credit. I'm aware that many of these alternatives come with a language barrier. That's a problem, but there exist workarounds. In my next thread, I'm gonna talk about overcoming the language barrier and interacting in Japanese-speaking online spaces. Stay tuned and follow for more! Hope you find these useful Happy Christmas, all 🎄🎁🎉💕✨

@dsuV4sW8qYWHQVL the key to unshackle yourself is in your hands, but many would rather complain while taking comfort in the familiarity of remaining a slave. There are alternatives that will give you freedom, granted your reach is lesser and requires a leap of faith in uncharted territory.

@AubreanReverie thanks for the shoutout. It is worth noting for NSFW artists that platforms based in Japan require you to censor your works, regardless of whether or not you are Japanese.

@RipFamWinkle @FreeArchivist @gelbooru I have never proclaimed that baraag is a big name and I have always been honest about my community being a small haven for artists to freely share their works. While I acknowledge and lament the fact that much of the internet is depends on CF, they do not have the final say.

Cloudflare is now on the record as having implemented policy that permanently outsources all final decisions on the legality or acceptability of U.S. hosted, First Amendment protected content to FSM-Hotline Germany. A foreign entity that applies German law onto content that is legal in the USA. Cloudflare: "We will only consider lifting the restrictions on this domain after we have received notice from FSM directly that the content on this domain has been deemed a false positive for CSAM." This is the same country that seizes all your electronics permanently for criticizing politicians and hurting their feelings, making a lewd joke, posting a meme, or even playing a violent video game... and then laugh at you about it.

@PurusagiVT I wish Pommu had designed itself for the fediverse so that even if they were to permanently put in place geoblocking, people from other server communities could still see the posts there like how baraag users can follow misskey users. The SNS is now just an isolated silo for JP.
