VK only lets you register is you give them your phone number, and I don't even let Google have that...I can suggest only VK, also Telegram. These are Russian apps who are pretty tolerant to fetish and porn, but I recommend creating public or closed groups to not trigger someone to strike you with a ban. Telegram is messenger, however it can be used to publish art or archive it in here. Both apps are pretty easy to use, they have closed groups option. Personally, I use them to archive a lot of zako videos I buy/exchange.
Not sure why Discord isn't a good place? I see no changes in the zako and porn channels there.
There are also chans, no? Fchan has every type of furry porn even hardcore and fetishes and nobody seems to bother it, though I guess it is also not very active.
Strange, as I watch several artists and they continue to churn out art undisturbed - both traditional drawings and CGI poser stuff.It's quite possible that "AI" overflow was the final trigger for Pixiv to implement those changes, but it doesn't look like the only single reason. Most of the banned artists had never published any "AI" works. Photorealism by itself is not a problem (e.g., hyperrealism genre is allowed, as Pixiv said), it becomes a problem only when it is coupled with sexuality and/or cruelty. They don't want to see too graphic violence or too natural-looking porn. As they've said, they always were against such a content, and now just have tuned guidelines to justify upcoming repressions. If it was about AI only, they would state it specifically as about AI only. But as we see, they've said it's "regardless of how an image was created".
I'd be happy if you were right about "AI-only". They've stopped this purge for about a month already - maybe it's just a pause to tune their ban-bot-hound... Well, I guess we'll see soon whom they're really targeted on, when they'll let their hound to ban again.
Maybe it is more an AI art targeted thing and the ban-bot is malfunctioning? The names you listed are mostly CGI poser-style artists.
