There's like 2 threads about being lonely and wanting friends. Just make a fucking discord already or post one if it already exists.

Discord is like one drama hellhole that makes your loneliness issue even worse once others realise you're no use to them.

You need to join a non art based discord and meet other artists who happen to be there creating a small internet clique with them that goes beyond just discord.

I've met some of my best friends through Discord. But to do it I had to set up my own server, promote it, run it constantly for about 2 years, learn to deal with all sorts of unpleasant people, before finally realizing there were only a few people in that group I actually liked, and made a tiny server for just me and my buddies.

>> No.3951373

>>3951363
I've made friends in discord and it always ends with someone infighting about some stupid shit and then when you take no sides or don't support the person who cries the most despite being the one in the wrong, everyone jumps ship and the people you were closest to drop you for someone who kisses their ass more succinctly.

My art is nothing like boring Loomis studies, I put my heart into it. But for some reason it fails to connect with people, the comments are always about skill and only skill and I hate it, I don't even care that much about skill.

The best servers are the secret ones no one knows about.

They always make sure the people they invite aren't /beg/ tier and close to their level.

Gotta get on those hands and knees and beg for that invite, or draw so well that someone scouts you and asks you to join

(I really don't get why non-artists are even allowed in the servers you guys are talking about. I can't take any of them seriously if that is allowed)

Discord as a platform is passable. I have a bunch of friends I talk to privately and a small chatroom with a couple friends where we hang around and post drawings for fun. Small channels are usually cozy if you avoid all deviant communities (such as 4chan) like the plague.
Discord as a program is shit. It's bundled with gaming stuff I don't care about, it's clunky and memory hungry and the IM part is shit. Telegram would be a lot better for artists.

>> No.3951817

>>3951737
join a community for something else that would have people of a like mind there, find the artists, see if they already have a private server or make one if they don't. it takes a while to find good people but it can be worth it.

Kinda strange but funny. There's also another server with a bunch of begs who overestimates their skill and constantly try to put people down unless they're one of the top tier artists of the server.

The only really good community for artists that I've seen was an old Russian forum, where a bunch of actually good artists who already were doing professional work, were talking with each other and also helped other people. Yeah, they were brutal but they also would actually show the mistakes and redline how it should be done. But when the core group moved on with their lives in different directions it slowly died.
