I know that there's probably more than a few of us that remember Deviantart from the early 00s. I know I spent a TON of time on there, and having a blast, let alone starting to upload art of my own. With the way it is now (AI slop, AI data scraping, etc), I haven't been on for years.
Now, here's the big question: in all of this retro revivalist goodness, has anyone managed a dA clone, or an art website that functions like the 00s Deviantart?
My coworker and I have been talking, and this is the one type of revival website she wants to find. FR is nice, but not her speed, but she as well longs for the simplicity of the Old Web. Figured that this would be the best place to ask!
