u kno i had to do it to em

gonna try out inkblot.art since they're opening invites for closed beta this weekend

might be interesting

got my invite today, used it for a couple of hours, here's my ~review~:

general info:

• visually, it's a mix of dA/instagram/tumblr (you have "latest" and "explore" pages like dA, posts themselves look instagram-esque, your personal page is like a blend of tumblr and instagram)
• you can like, reblog, and comment on posts and use hashtags for discoverability
• meant for ages 16+
• you can upload nsfw stuff but Bad Shit (hateful art, sexual crimes, etc) is prohibited

pros:

• reblogs only show up on your timeline/dashboard and don't clog up your gallery
• there's a bit of customization for your page, you can upload a banner pic and change the color if your buttons/background/text color (there's also widgets but right now those are for pro members only while they debug it)
• there's a dedicated comics upload section
• can mark your account as mature (for 18+ ppl only)
• works on mobile (no app tho yet)

cons:

• user engagement feels a little low (people tend to like but not reblog posts), might be because user count is still low while they're in closed beta
• still some bugs to iron out with the UI
• some parts of the site are confusing and not explained well (there's a way to mark your stuff as having a cw but i don't know how to do it, i only see the nsfw/gore toggles; people not knowing you can add hashtags, etc.)

if you wanna try out this site for yourself, they open their signup list on the 3rd weekend of every month (friday-sat US time). signup slots are unlimited but they send invites in batches of 100 spaced out every 2 days to make sure servers aren't super strained.
