Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

https://s3nd.pics/ has a strong focus on artists.

Haven't heard of that one, but I migrated to Bluesky after the whole "two sieg heils in a row on live television" thing

S3nd is more of an imgur replacement, but the devs are very anti nazi and have been vocal about it after imgur started posting ICE ads. Bluesky is a solid choice as well.

Some are moving to Bluesky. After this happened Bluesky experienced a surge in registrations according to https://bskycheck.com/stats.php

Unfortunately, the two “big names” I know of (Boichi and Kei Urana) are both going to Instagram.

EDIT: it seems at least Kei Urana is on Bluesky too
