Twitter sucks + Ways you can support me

Posted by MatthewLopz - July 28th, 2022

So as some might or not know my twitter got hacked around 3 days ago, as scary as the experience was i tought it was over once twitter support responded my emails and got me the account back, only to be permanently suspended 2 hours after i got it back. Why? Well my theory is the account got mass reported while it was hacked, even if it was an automated error, i can't see why a ban bot from a social media wouldn't take into account the fact the account was hacked and then recovered before applying a sanction, absolute trash experience, still waiting for my twitter to hopefully get unsuspended, in the meantime or possibly forever, since from reading online twitter can take up to 8 months in unsuspending, i made another account, you can follow it if you'd like. @MatthewLopzalt

This experience also made me appriciate how personal and truly caring is the newgrounds support, in comparison shoutout to the mods and everyone that helps out.

To finish this post i wanna say that Twitter was one of my main social media accounts and not having it def hurts me financially as it was a way of getting commissions, i wanna finish this post by sharing a few ways you can support me if you truly enjoy my art and want me to keep doing what i do!

Patreon: So far i have very little supporters so there's still plenty of ground to expand but for now you can find PSD files, full resolution artwork, print discounts and timelapses!

INPRNT: This is where you can buy prints from me.

Commissioning: My DMs and email are always open for both commercial and personal artwork, i've got plenty of experience with music related works such as lofi mix BGs and album covers.

Big hug to the Newgrounds community and thanks for reading!

Well at least now you know that you always have ti have a backup plan because relying on one thing these days will bungle you over.Especially Twitter. Seriously,why do school shooters even bother with schools, if they want glory and fame the easy way they should just get their ass over to Soiboi HQ. Believe it or not, they are EVEN MORE helpless than children and 10x less likable.

tf you on about lmao

@MatthewLopz Advertise on other platforms.Even if they are less useful than Twitter,you cannot rely on just one social media place to (metaphorically spread your roots in if you get my meaning)i mean shit, what about YT or DA or hell even instagram? They are not optimal but its better than nothing.
Also if Twittr HQ got bombed or drone striked tommorow morning people would form a circle hand in hand over the ruins and do a whole kumbaya song and dance about it. Or at least celebrate it some other way.

Lol interesting way of putting it, but yeah i do have my Newgrounds and Instagram, twitter wasn't my only platform, and it does suck but i mean it is what it is, it's a badly designed platform that a bunch of people use.

Spreading your art is a good idea but i don't like overwhelming myself either, having just 3 socials was a good balance for me, i'd like to keep it that way instead of posting on 5+ different sites.

@MatthewLopz Ahh,you want to direct your energy toward a few accounts for a stronger output rather than spread it around, i get ya i get ya.I am not exactly sociable but i will direct people toward your account so you can get your lost follower count back up faster if i find them wanting of an artist. Shame yours got fucked over by an NFT drone of all likes. How the fuck did that happen anyway?

The lack and support and the stupid guidelines that get you banned for calling someone stupid is honestly one of the main reasons why I despise Twitter and Social Medias in general, I understand why it's necessary for some people, but I can't bring myself to stand it

Either way, it's nice to see you still have a place on Newgrounds, despite my problems with it, I legitimately really like it, and it's nice to see you like it too

Hope everything gets sorted out for you

MatthewLopz 2022-07-28 13:28:19

I've heard people getting banned over dumb reasons but this is like next level, what saddens me is also the fact that i hear everywhere they take forever to respond to your unsupension request, or sometimes they straight up just don't respond.

So even if i do get it back eventually, i can't count on it right now.

I hope that you achieve what you want to achieve
your art style is pretty cool. but if the prices on your twitter page are up to date?

MatthewLopz 2022-07-29 05:17:47

Are you asking if the pinned tweet with my commission sheet is up to date?
Yeah it is, i mean even on the same page it says prices vary, but it is around what i charge.
