What even is Deviant Art. I felt like I've known about it forever. What is it? What does it do? Who is it for?
Is it something to do with autism?

Another rabbit hole
Lol, it's just a place for people to share their art, which quickly became a marketplace for users to sell commissions.
The fact that it still pushes forward is rather impressive. I loved DA as a kid.
It's originally mainly for people who want to look at art. Just a place to browse publicly shared artwork. Back in the day it was great for discovering unique art because the internet was not nearly as saturated with digital artwork yet.
A place for artists and creators to post their work that's been around for over two decades.

It's been around for a long time. I was posting digital art on there almost 20 years ago. I don't think my account even exists anymore. They've made a lot of changes over the years. One cool feature was that you could order prints of people's art. I don't know if it still works that way or not.
Cool man. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I wouldn't have thought that you were an artist.
It's a social platform for artists, photographers, writers, etc. to post their work. It's been around forever. My sister started her career there by doing commissions for people.
Nowadays there are other places people post their art too like ArtStation and Pixiv.
Cool man. I was only having a go at it for the craic. There is an awful lot of furries and wierd sonic fan fiction shit on it though. I mean, free country and all. Do you think that the furries made everyone want to leave and go to other sites or something?
Probably 😂 I haven't visited that website in a long while. It got weird. It seems all communities get weird given a long enough time frame. Hopefully Nostr is different 😂
