With the knowledge out there brought to us by the documentary, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Great_Hack\">The Great Hack<\/a>, I&#8217;m distancing myself from any social media platform that has a billionaire attached to it. I&#8217;ve decided to make a switch. I&#8217;m doubling down on Mastodon.\u00a0<\/p><p>While I have my main Mastodon account, I&#8217;ve decided to investigate the Instagram-like PixelFed. I can put all my erotic art up on this fantastic platform, \u00a0which is part of the Fediverse. This is great news for the likes of adult creatives like myself! It&#8217;s fantastic that anyone who follows me on <a href=\"https:\/\/woof.group\/@Drub\">Mastodon<\/a> can then also follow me on <a href=\"https:\/\/hidden.pics\/Drub\">PixelFed<\/a> and vice versa. I can interact with fans and friends without fear of being harassed due to the robust tools at my disposal. I can post erotic art with a content warning so that I can continue to exist without retribution from the faceless void that runs and ruins so many major social media platforms. I&#8217;ve said good-bye to the vile censorship and attacks that take place on platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I&#8217;ve vowed to never get burned by another social media app ever again.<\/p><p>You can find the links to reach me in the upper left-hand side of the website that will take you to <a href=\"https:\/\/woof.group\/@Drub\">Mastodon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hidden.pics\/Drub\">PixelFed<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drubskin.com\/2023\/our-daughters-selene-and-callisto\/\">my cat page<\/a> with my two, adorable girls.

I have participated in art shows worldwide in Los Angeles, Toronto, Berlin, Amsterdam, and I participate occasionally in the Seattle Erotic Art Festival, spanning the last 35 years. I enjoy the attention of independent comic book publishers, working with publications such as \u2018Freshman\u2019, \u2018Instigator\u2019, \u201cDesert Heat\u201d, \u201dBlue magazine\u201d and most recently \u201cDirty Minds\u201d, selling hand-made greeting cards showcasing my illustrations for Mr. B in Amsterdam and Berlin, The Leatherman in New York City, and many others. I\u2019ve recently shifted from digital art prints to acrylic paintings on canvas that sell quicker than I can create them.","sameAs":["http:\/\/drubskin.com","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drubskin"],"url":"https:\/\/www.drubskin.com\/2023\/author\/drub\/"}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Drub","author_link":"https:\/\/www.drubskin.com\/2023\/author\/drub\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Death to Meta!
