Using Weasyl Again by JoeyBuckaroo

So uhh, hi. I have not used Weasyl in forever.

I've decided that I cannot stay on FA anymore. Or at least not on FA alone, due to how terribly the latest policy and its overreaching implementation has affected both me and several of my friends who are being falsely accused of heinous shit.

I've always had a positive relationship with FA, and stuck with it throughout several frustrating things that have happened. My Weasyl account was made in 2014 back when there was a previous exodus over...something, I actually forgot what it was.

Thing is, it's always been a place where I felt safe. Safer than anywhere else on the internet, and I never managed to get used to Weasyl enough to want to stay. So my activity here fizzled out.

With the way things are going on FA, I feel like I've lost a home, a community, friends, social connections, a connection to my history of having come to terms with my identity as a queer person. But I cannot trust FA anymore. I cannot feel safe there anymore. And neither can many of my friends. I have decided that I wanna return to Weasyl, at least to have a place online where I can feel safe.

I know there's a great deal many friends who have spread onto Weasyl, and some who went to other art sites, so I hope I'll be able to find some of you back here, and meet new people as well.

I wanna start by uploading some of my art that I've drawn over time, and getting used to the website's interface again and the general community vibes that have developed in my absence.

    I feel ya on so many levels.
    FA was a nice place and my partner and I jumped ship becuz of the new policies.
    They are doing a witch hunt and it's so sad seeing amazing people leave due to them being targeted.

    I felt very safe on FA but the last couple weeks have had an unhinged stalker.
    So knowing I can be here free of them is great.
    I am sure you will get the hang on things here again and make loads more friends.
    I am here if you need one. 🤗

    Stay happy. Stay queer. And never let others dictate who you are.
