For as much as artists complain about 'visibility' when on mastodon.art, at least images actually load from that server. Servers running misskey forks and whatever other non-mastodon based software often don't propagate media as consistently for my local instance's media cache for whatever reason. So ironically, artists who move their work off that server 'for visibility' often have their work turn into those invisible attachments I can't load.

I just wish fedi was full of people with hearts capable of growing up and becoming better so that a responsibly moderated and administrated server doesn't become so isolated to begin with. I can't fault artists and freelance writers and such seeking bigger audiences, but the way it conflicts with a drive for safe spaces online can rub me the wrong way sometimes.
