When joining a group chat or Discord server for artists, what's most important to you?

- Making friends and socializing?
- Sharing art and promoting yourself?
- Getting critique and tips on improving?
- Fun prompts, games, and competitions?
- Something else?

Just curious! I've seen a lot of art servers fail and go dead over the years, so I wonder what kind of server artists tend to prefer.

I'm not in any art discords, but I always appreciate socializing the most on any platform! ^^
I mostly share art and give feedback to other artists. I rarely join competitions because most of them are outside my interests.

Socialising :)
Lurking in the corner and talking to people every so often is what I normally do. I also like games (can't go to most of them though, timezones) and critique!
Basically the first two! I love talking to others and sharing things xD
Defo making friends! It’s hard enough making friends as and adult so these sorts of places where creatives fill out the social surroundings is just so motivating to me creatively. When I get to meet art people, it’s much easier for me to find inspiration and to stimulate my own thought process!
Socializing, mostly, and getting to share art.

Making friends absolutely, and also getting advices on my art. You should never stop learning!!! But yeah, meeting art minded people cause I don't know many irl!!
