@niku30_'s post on Artfol
Nina/Niku | 21 | she/them | 2D is my hobby and 3D is my job The way I already feel so much more valid on here compared to IG? On IG I always felt like I have to prove something. Here I feel valid with the work I do and it feels as if I - as well as my style - am just fine and there’s absolutely nothing to worry about - AGH so much happiness!!!
For me art was always something connected with joy and here I feel like I can live that out! I hate feeling competitive and pressured - especially since 2D art is just a hobby for me! Apr 15, 2021

YES on the feeling like you have something to prove on IG! Using Artfol actually gives me more energy to be creative compared to other social media where it just sucks all the energy out of me.. I hadn’t noticed how bad it was until now

HONESTLY same even as someone interested in perusing it as a career the environment is just so low stakes and friendly I’m loving it
•
Agreed! Feels so welcoming here and you don't feel pressured to post every day either! The community is so you're and wholesome

Yep I feel you 
. Plus the welcoming, positive and wholesome community helps a lot. On the contrary, Insta is a lot more competitive and as you said, the feeling of thrying to prove something is always there as well as the fuckin' algorithm. But here?! hell nah. Here we just vibe and watch pretty paintings without the need of worrying about anything :D

The community does seem a lot more friendly (could be because it’s still new but hopefully it stays that way). And I feel a lot more comfortable mingling with other people. On Instagram, I like never commented on anything but here since it’s so small I actually like to!!
•
Yes i feel that so much too ! I think it"s surely link to the fact that we can"t see directly the likes and the numbers of followers we have ?
•
It feels more relaxed doesn’t it? People are just sharing and enjoying and not fighting an algorithm.
