Getting things all back in order is a huge task and I&#8217;ve just been chipping away at things<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tumblr is over thanks to porn purges. Twitter is over thanks to fascism and AI. My subreddit was deleted as &#8220;unmoderated&#8221; which I guess means a bot got to it? Everything was removed from my pornhub account at some point. gfycat is gone, I think for a while stuff was redirecting to redcat or redgif or something but I don&#8217;t even know any more. Patreon keeps updating their rules so that I don&#8217;t even know what is actually allowed there and what isn&#8217;t. I also discovered a site that automates scraping of Patreon posts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s best to just let the past die<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/raxastake.com\">Bluesky <\/a>is an excellent replacement for Twitter, and has become my main social media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;ve started posting stuff on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hentai-foundry.com\/user\/Raxastake\/profile\">Hentai Foundry<\/a> and one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/rule34.xxx\/index.php?page=post&amp;s=list&amp;tags=user%3araxastake\">Rule34 sites<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I restructured my <a href=\"https:\/\/patreon.com\/raxastake\">Patreon<\/a> into a tip-jar style thing.
