I wasn't harsh enough.

For me it was when they changed the UI/UX to Eclipse. Having to find anything through tags is just horrendous. The old model of searching through categories made it so if I only wanted cartoons instead of animeslop, I could filter out the animeslop. Groups also used to be a lot more active and I remember finding a lot of good art I otherwise wouldn't have through them. Having the "More like this" feature on new deviantART is convenient, but that's about it.

DA went to absolute shit the moment they got rid of this design. It was perfect, everything was sorted so well, and it genuinely was the best place for art.

Everyone involved in ruining that needs to die. DA was loved, but its current state deserves all the hatred and disgust in the world.

I left during the mass flagging of nsfw posts. There's also that AIslop dream something that they offered which were inferior to locally hosted SDXL lmao.

Damn this brings back memories
Eclipse just isn't as fun lol.

take me back...

I still like it, but mainly because smaller art communities always trump the big ones. I like how most people on the site don't treat it seriously and just have fun with other artists.
