Are any of you content creators? Artists? Storytellers? Writers? I believe this is a big part of what’s missing from the Fediverse. Sure there’s work out there but I believe it can be so much better. If any of you are please point us to your work, how we can support you and please be sure to share your work on the Fedi. For those that aren’t but would like to be let’s share ideas. How can we make this a more creative space and more welcoming space to creatives?

      where did you get that impression?

      ofc we don’t like corpos advertising their proprietary pieces of shit on here but people showcasing their personal projects are cool and should be encouraged

        I noticed this on Mastodon and Lemmy. If you share your own music it often gets downvoted or people tell you that Mastodon isn’t the right place for promotion. It’s really discouraging. Artists who share photographs or paintings get hundreds of upvotes, while musicians get told to not even promote their free music.
