Back Online (8-18-2024)

Liked my Twitter page before it got the boot? It's back and... well, maybe not better than ever, but at least it's back. Somewhat.
Visit the new account, @echovitaonline, if you like pencil sketches, pixel art, pictures, and posts about the Christian walk. I won't be bringing back any posts or content from the old account, though I did have a fairly current Twitter archive when things went south.

If you didn't archive a piece you liked, see if it's here. Most of the art that I posted over there will end up in the Gallery at some point.
And, to anyone who bothers to visit, thanks for following my little slice of the Internet. It means more than you'd think. :-)

Still nothing... (8-15-2024)

I haven't heard back from Twitter for almost a week, now. I'm starting to think they have bots for administrators.

As much as I enjoyed my (brief) time there, I've found better communities on Discord that cater more towards my view on social media. There's not nearly as much drama and fighting over there, and there are no bot followers to block. Because of that, I'm not going to press too hard to get my account back. I may send in one more appeal to see if the first one got buried, but that'll be it.

If you followed me there and want to see more art and longer discussions, feel free to add this page to your bookmarks or Neocities follows. Thanks in advance.

BIG YIKES! (8-9-2024)

I woke up to an e-mail saying that my Twitter account (@eqpxa) was suspended due to a report of "evading a previous suspension." I have never been suspended, and I never made any other Twitter accounts. It would appear that someone was fed up enough with something I said that they bothered to falsely report me. (Who knows who, who knows what. I can guess, but I'm likely wrong.)

I'm not all that mad. Shocked, yes. (After that wore off, I chuckled a bit.)

We'll see how the site admins respond, but I'm not hopeful after how they handled some of my mutuals' cases. Until the Twitter page is back (if it ever is), I'll be posting new art and updates to this site exclusively. It appears that I need some sort of safe haven where nobody can trash pages over any random comment, and this is the closest thing to that without the hassle of buying a domain and hosting it myself... which I might end up doing anyway.

As for other sites I might move to:
No FurAffinity. I don't need junk in my feed.
No DA. The place is a mess, now.
Bluesky has no userbase.
Cara still hasn't gotten off the ground -- not to mention that there's not much discussion. I like talking.
Anything run by Meta is a massive no.
Truth Social would probably laugh me right off the face of the platform. :-)

As such, we're in a holding pattern. I'll keep this updated as things progress. So much for taking a week off the Internet...

We're Online! (6-22-2024)

Yep, the site's finally here. It's not much to look at (yet), but feel free to poke around and see what's up so far.
I'll be adding more things as time goes on. Hopefully, this will become my primary online abode - no social media required. If you like it here, bookmark the page and come back whenever.
