@Pawlicker I think @japananon is still hosting a Tor instance for his Onionket event, which serves as a general-purpose instance for artists you can tip with Monero thanks to built-in function of Mitra. Basically Twitter and Patreon in one flask. The content is what you'd expect from baraag timeline, but that's beyond the point. It proves that it's less of technical issue as we already have the technology, and more of a social one. Majority of artists I've seen happen to be not too techincally inclined, to say politely, and also strong conformists rejecting whatever hivemind deemed bad (AI, crypto).
@mint@Pawlicker Mainly made to a) see if it was possible, and b) what kind of response and uptake it would get

Based on results, I agree. The tools are there, most people just aren't willing/able to use them. I'm just here for the fractional number of outliers who are.
@japananon@Pawlicker@mint I haven't tried Misskey but an art site needs a gallery and collaborative tagging at least probably and I don't think any servers have that yet.
@Moon@mint@Pawlicker I remember asking @silverpill to include a gallery in Mitra accounts. I'm not sure what "collaborative tagging" entails, though.. you mean like tags for images that can be easily searched?
@silverpill@mint@Moon@japananon@Pawlicker I have some feedback for images in the TL: mitra-web would be better if it had the ability to "open" an image and zoom in, didn't even know about the gallery until now, very cool, but could use that "shadow box" sort of setup too.
@Pawlicker@mint@japananon@Moon That would be great. Mitra backend is written in Rust and *bsd variants are listed among supported platforms, so I expect it to work.
