With this platform continuously changing its guidelines and adding more and more restrictions I've been thinking for a while now and I'd like to start mirroring and/or putting certain posts on my Sub⭐. For supporters who may not be aware, I do have a Sub⭐ account where I post work but with way less restrictions (please check my twitter bio for the alt).

I'd also like to create more DB adult stories that I can't post here because of the restrictive guidelines. I don't plan to abandon this place completely, unless they no longer allow nsfw or heaven forbid, boot me, but I honestly would like to lessen any dependence on the support that does come from it. Let me explain.

With more and more news and social media posts that further highlight the increasing restrictions and censorship on the platform for those in the nsfw space (including whether something can be consensual, regardless of the artist's intent), it leaves a lot to constantly think about and worry over.

Will there be an issue tomorrow over a comic that was recently finished? Over the hard work that went into it, just to be asked to remove it? Will I be asked, or will I simply be booted off the platform outright and lose out on the support I was counting on that month and the months ahead? And should this or that even be drawn? Will it run afoul, even somewhat, of the rules? Am I self-censoring at times, even sub-consciously, out of fear? Limiting myself from creating truly unique or fun or hot artwork?

Given all this and given my interest in lessening my dependence on things here, I'd like to see how many of you would find issue in my doing more and more artwork on my other platform. This would mean all of my work from all of my accounts would be in one place, but everything would be properly labeled and tagged and sorted to help people in case they have specific interests, only. This would also include discord access that comes with the other platform.

Personally, I already have an account over there and am willing to jump tracks. I would only be able to do one at a time, though, so I guess the question is: would either one have exclusive stuff not available to the other?

Arrant

I am always in favor of less restrictions even if it's not content I am particularly fond of. With that in mind, I would be more than willing to leave this platform and go to your substar. My only issue with it is that another artist I follow has mixed uploads and it has been difficult to find all of their work without paying for both

Jay

I mean, I've been hearing some chatter about Patreon in a negative way, so if you feel changing platforms will give you more freedom with your art, I fully support it.

FunsexyDB

In a way, yes. Artwork that's a "no-no" here will be posted on the other platform. Everything else that I'm able to post will be mirrored. I still post all my art for free in the art archive at the beginning of each month (except for most WIPs). That won't change. The only real exclusive thing is being able to see art and animation about month or so earlier before it goes public.

DementisXYZ

Ok, but no chance of going over there and missing anything here, right? Then I'll likely change over later tonight.

Emperor

I'm here to support YOU not patreon. Say the word and I'm happy to switch over to substar

Emperor

I just want to clarify. Does that mean you will be posting everything on substar and only content friendly things here?

FunsexyDB

Everything will under one tier, it'll make things WAY less complicated and supporters don't have to pay more just to see both. I will tag everything properly to make sure folks can find posts they want to see and avoid the ones they don't. I'd like to see how it goes. Starting in May, I'll be mirroring. I don't think it's necessary to open a separate Sub⭐ just for DB Adult art. I feel like as long as I add the proper tags things should work out.

Alex J

I will support your work as long as I'm able to keep up with all of your art work

MC Headcase

You already know I'll support your work wherever you go 🙂

Arrant

sounds like it would work fine for me. Depending on how may works out for you I'd just cancel here and resub there. Either way you'd not be losing my support, you'd be gaining more favor if anything

Zach123101

Listen I've been a member since 2017 not because I like patreon but because I like you (and boobies) so I'll move for more and better content

Nev3rDark

I don’t have X so how would I access the other platform? Will you be sending a link out? Also, is it an app or just available online?

HardRevenge

They say the Internet is free and open but it's American lobbyist who censor things they consider icky- a threat. I'll support you until you call it quits. You're an amazing artist

Hozonkai

If you post DB content there, then I'll switch from Patreon to SubStar

Ethan Moreno

It that ever becomes the case, I'd mostly likely move over to another platform. Especially since I follow other NSFW artists in here too.

Spike Spiegel

If patreon keeps this shit up I may leave too and just stick with substar

Cley Faye

Hard to see stuff on twitter without an account these days; but maybe adding that sub thing into your site would help. Also, yeah, if you're over there and everything is available, I'll move without waiting for things to grow dire. In fact a substantial amount of creator already did something similar in the last few weeks.

Zeke

If Substar is your preferred platform I'm happy to follow you over there.

Master S King

Once you make the move official just send A notification and I will switch to the new platform.

DementisXYZ

I am having no luck finding it. I know you said alt in twitter bio, but I don't have a twitter, so it doesn't let me see your profile. I found your linktree, but it's not listed on there.

Spider-Zero

Well I subbed to you here and your other account on SubStar so it's fine with me.

Super Vader

I would prefer to stay on Patreon. Just because its easier to have all the artist I support in one place. But I would likely follow you to sub star. However I cannot stand X (formerly twitter).

Mewt Randell

As a few others have mentioned, I'd be willing to swap over, but would need a non-twitter way of getting there. Can't look at your twitter bio without an account.

FunsexyDB

Of course! I try my best to make sure my art is always easy to keep track or find!

FunsexyDB

The site is available online, no app for now. I'll certainly be adding a link soon so folks can follow!

FunsexyDB

Completely understandable. I still plan to post (what I can) on patreon! And my art archive will always be updating every month!

FunsexyDB

I'll be posting a link to it soon! I also have bluesky (FunsexyDB bsky) as well and that's public without login.

wahootaco

Just curious, what kind of content were you thinking of creating that you couldn't here?

Geo V.

Why not utilize Discord for Patreon exclusives?

Zaber

I support just give us proper notice where you are going.

Anthony Beauchamp

Would using something like Discord be an option for things that may be too much for Patreon? Like those who support here could have access to the server where everything gets uploaded? I'll do what I can to support regardless just spitballing ideas!
