Monthly report for September is out!

davidrevoy.com/article1180/mon

I'm sharing making-of and behind-the-scenes stories, unpublished visuals, and news about all my background projects. I also share (as usual, without paywall) high-resolution images, timelapses, brushes, layered files, tutorials, hardware reviews and more on my websites.

Thank you for all the comments and your amazing support!

I couldn't post my monthly update on the Facebook page because apparently, now I can post only 2 external links per month...

Monetizing external links, what a shame, Meta. :rblobglare:

@davidrevoy facebook? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ That prehistoric platform that supports fascism? Why on earth would you still want to be part of it?

@AccordingtoWouter Because of an historical presence since 2010, 16K (nice persons) followers that I often meet IRL and are publishing nice comments. There is a little vibrant P&C community over there, that have their dissonance about using Facebook/Messenger, because they have to: for staying in contact with their family, their co-workers, the group of the parents for their child at school, well, a social life.
Same for me, it would cut bridges with family member if I wasn't on it.

@davidrevoy strange that there are really a lot of possibilities to communicate, an unimaginable number of ways. But if you don’t use that one fascist platform, will people cut ties with you?? I think that says something about those people, doesn’t it?

@AccordingtoWouter It tells more about how some relations are fragile and sometime the link between persons are fragile and they use what they consider the most easy way to keep the relation.
For following artist, it is sometime just an habits, like opening a journal (Timeline) and seeing the cartoonist of the newspaper do his thing on the bottom. Sometime reading it, sometime not.
I don't think it tells much about the ideology of people, many are here by pure habits and no digital hygiene.

@davidrevoy It’s a bit like continuing to watch Harry Potter films even though the author has a bad reputation because of her controversial views on trans people

@AccordingtoWouter Totally another problem, a content in itself has no retention, no network effect.

You can even still watch H.Potter media if you don't provide money to the author, and don't produce reviews or praising that encourage other to give to the author. All in all, if you don't empower the author financially.

Smthing else, someone (esp. young) can suffer cultural social exclusion from not knowing some mainstream culture; exclusion from social groups because not sharing the codes.

@davidrevoy What both have in common is that people should immediately condemn discrimination (whether gender-related or racist).

Continuing to read books or use racist platforms reinforces an ideology.

And that is how 1933 came about. And how Nazi Germany rose to power. Because people were all quite happy with it.

And so it is with the use of Facebook. You legitimise fascism, and that makes you a supporter of fascisme.

@AccordingtoWouter That's the good old speech of activism purity, and evilness by association... Thank you for the moral lesson. /s

I admit it's a dissonance I have and it is hard enough like that to maintain without this type of comment.
But as an artist living thanks to my audience, it's a necessity.

You should better save your typing effort to target artists only on Facebook, not offering any alternatives, instead of lecturing the one on the same side of your social justice fight... πŸ˜†

@davidrevoy The moral lessons here are about lives. About excluding certain groups from a platform at the time of writing. And yes, perhaps it is a precondition, but so it was in 1933 too. The baker and the butcher were also dependent on the system. But at what cost do you go along with it? Your livelihood, or the deaths of many?
