I like the concepts of both platforms, Deviantart and Wattpad, but both have been going down the tubes, and the argument can be made that they have always had a pretty big cringe problem.

Is there a platform or platforms more geared toward artists and/or writers like either of those two centralized sites? Pixelfed maybe? But I get the impression that it’s more Instagram as opposed to Deviantart. Writefreely for Wattpad? Are either very similar to those centralized sites at all?

    I don’t know Wattpad, but for writing there are WriteFreely like you mentioned, and also don’t forget Plume.

    Since it’s still quite small, I’d rally people around Pixelfed. But you’re right, that doesn’t exactly cover the Deviantart use-case. Let’s hope somebody takes action to develop something to fill this space.

      WriteFreely isn’t really a community platform, just a clean and simple blogging platform with a paid exclusive interaction module.
