#buzzly.art

In your art sites bost, what about buzzly.art?

let me preface this: APPARENTLY the site has gotten better since 2022. i personally haven't used it since early 2022, however.

but yeah, i'm banned from buzzly from calmly protesting an admin's pitch for NFT implementation last year.

I had replaced all my entire gallery with this image. this was the only "rule" i broke, as I did not post anything that otherwise violated their T&C. I did not throw hateful comments at the staff. i expressed some displeasure on Twitter dot com, but beyond that I simply replaced my gallery and left it at that.

because of this wrongful suspension, it's unlikely I'm gonna recommend the site with any remarkable praise.

funny enough: i had done the EXACT SAME on my fanart alt at the same time, with the same image, and that account merely got a ticket warning me that my gallery had been deleted for "submissions that lack artistic merit". it's still active and i can still access that account.

which is just further evidence that my main was suspended with malicious intent, so. thanks buzzly. real cool of you.

Gallery sites, “I miss Old Deviantart,” etc

Today I am yearning for the gallery sites of old again. I know a few new ones have popped up lately (buzzly, artfol, etc) and I was wondering if anyone around here has any misc thoughts on the usability of these sites. Recommendations or condemnations both relevant.

I’d like to join a new one but I feel like I’m out of the loop here.

(Or hell, if there’s like a secret sheezyart revival or a return movement to an older gallery site that has escaped my notice, I’d be interested in hearing the pros and cons of that too.)

Whoa ok so that poll posted on buzzly.art was...

u n c o m f o r t a b l e. To say the least.

Welp, time to find another art site to host a gallery on instead. xnx i love posting art here on tumblr and will continue to, no worries about that, but after sites have closed down on me in the past... i just dont like keeping all my eggs in one basket, y'know? Anyone know of any alternative art sites I can crosspost to?

Buzzly.art – How Bad Leadership can Make a Website Implode

My newest post regarding the mess that is Buzzly.art is now on the WordPress blog. Give it a read if you missed all the crazy drama surrounding the art site!

Normally, I try to stick to the matter of webcomics and webcomic artists on TWWR, but the BuzzlyArt issue was too important and interesting to ignore. Before I get into the meat of the issue, I’ll start with a TL;DR: Two of BuzzlyArt’s developers have locked out most of its staff after the developers themselves posted a disastrous user poll.The poll was launched after the site’s public Discord…

really sad about this. i wish there was an actually active, 2010’s-DA-vibe art website that’s both welcoming for hobbyists (ie, not artstation) and not entirely dominated by furries (ie, not furaffinity). and not run by a complete joke of a staff team, of course

i’d say that our hopes lie in the DA alternative sites that sprung up immediately following eclipse (artrise or artspacious), but i genuinely doubt either of those sites will ever see the light of day. RIP

i'm still upset that buzzly imploded 😭 people were genuinely having such a good time on there. it was small, it was cozy, it was growing into a real community.

it made me feel like the old dA was back: when people would actually interact meaningfully, you could customize your own little gallery space, and it was just so fun.

i know i got big nostalgia glasses on, but MAN!!!! cmon 😭 it had so much potential!! and it was ruined in an instant due to the selfishness of just two guys. it's fucking tragic.
