What is it with the furry art community and mastodon? (kbin.social)

I use twitter and I really like the furry art community on there. I also like Mastodon or related ActivityPub services.

Due to recent events lots of people search for alternatives and I feel just very frustrated see all those artists looking for Zucks Threads or Jacks Bluesky when Mastodon is right there, without a chance of a twitter situation ever happening again. They seem to avoid Mastodon like cats avoiding water.
What have we done wrong, and how can we make it better.

The thing is, most of them are looking to Threads and BlueSky because that is where the majority of normie non technical people are going to go. It will also give them a far bigger outreach of having their art seen and noticed by bigger groups of people.

But mastodon also suffers because the second biggest instance, pawoo.net l, leaves many people with a bad experience since they host rampant amounts of pedophilic content and fetishists galore and a lot of mastodon instances defederate from it because of it's peoblems.

I left that instance when I got hit with some of that content, disturbing to say the least... I left for the much better packmates.org mastodon instance (hosted by our yiffit admin @[email protected] )

Pawoo was meant as a tie in to the Japanese art gallery site pixiv but even though it still has those tie ins, it's been sold off multiple times. And the current owners will not do anything to curve the pedophilic content on it

Pawoo is one of the biggest black eyes for mastodon and probably hurts it when people are deciding to use mastodon, threads, or bluesky.
