Yes, it's a solid option. The main drawbacks: the spam filter is very primitive, and this options also feels to me a bit like a going back before 2010; when I used a mail client and not a webmail only.
But after a bit of tweaking, I found that installing a client (tested Geary), setting up IMAP is not that much a big chore and really usable.
OVH proposes their own webmail software, coming with the hosting plan, and it's not that bad too in case I need access on a public machine.

Yes, I started something, using the hosting solution I have ( davidrevoy.com , hosted at OVH) , they have a built-in webmail service. I'm trying to setup first a simple redirection and keep my protonmail account for the two years (subscription was already paid, meh) to be sure no email points to it and work on it here and there, until everything will be migrated hopefully.

You are right. I'll not give up and keep the feeding long term. At least, she might not respond at all to whistling/calling but she is like a clock for her visit for food. Around 1am, she seats in front of the door and wait. When I open the door, she run like 8 meters away. I leave the food, and then I have to close back the door. Only then, she come and eat.
She really has a maximum security protocol with humans.

Thanks! Yes, it's small patches of a large polar fleece blanket I had. I cut it to cover and protect this way the fabric of the chair. It's not rare a cat come back home with the cat door with muddy paw or fur full of rain. This way, I can weekly wash them.

Charlotte still lives outside. Each day I bring her food closer inside the house, but the interiors still terrifies her.
She has a total different approach than Charly; and she doesn't learn from other cats, including her own brother.
She meow super loudly and often, it's her favorite way to communicate.
But we are doing progress: yesterday, she accepted to come close to my hand and smell it.She also did the rounded back, with tail up when she saw me, with happy eyes. 💜

We never could approach the mom; always a distance of 3, 4m and running away at any quick movements.
Two weeks ago, she started to be aggressive to the kittens, until a point where she returned to the forest... She still visits at night and we feed her, but behave with the kittens as if they were strangers. I have no hope for domesticating her.
But at one point, I'll have to catch her, and bring her to the vet for sterilization; or we'll have another stray kitten delivery next year.

2026-10-31 10:40:58 GMT

🎃 Stray Kitten Report 8:
Little Charly found a role model in Noutti, my red tabby cat (also my inspiration for Carrot, in my comics), and thanks to that, got a speedrun education in 'how to cat' at home, including meowing at the bed in the morning, sleeping around when I'm drawing, asking for cuddles on the sofa.
It's so easy when this happens. I consider him now fully domesticated. 🎉

same boat too. The ethic bankruptcy of Proton is here, and I picked this service when I escaped from gmail because they had a better ethic. I'm really concerned by potential security breaches and letting my email in such an infrastructure. With an internal policy of bullying and forcing to code fast, ship fast, and with AI I see that coming really soon. And it happens the weeks I have to renew my subscription, meh 🥲

The plan is to make it permanent. But I totally have no idea what type of feedback it will get, in five episode ahead, when the new audience forgot this episode and wonder why. Will they blame the artist for using AI? For being bad at anatomy when they notice it on one panel? This can backfire seriously, and I have no idea how much right now.
If I revert it at one point (possible, thanks to a world with magic) I'll address it at least with a dialog.

Great! Do not hesitate to share, I'll keep doing it directly in my comics or as articles on my blog if I find better things or new strategy.

Thank you. Hehe, true. Unfortunately, my attempts are probably like grain of salt lost in the desert at the scale of 5 billions of images in a dataset.

Thank you, and no, you are not! I thought the visual in my first draft would work by themselves, and then I had to add the line of Amall on panel 3 to underline it, because visually, it works pretty well as it is. I added an additional ring finger, slightly smaller than the regular ring finger, but taller than the pinky. More harmonious than what I imagined when I typed this scenario.

About Ig and Fb, I'll just post what the algorythm is already triaging: the weekly comic + the monthly and a self promotion. I'll also keep replying to the comments, etc... But I'll start a "read only" mode, not following any artists myself on it (it's already ready reduced).
About the poisoning, you'll discover my next move on wednesday :)

Hey, so I had discussions with friends this week-end to clarify my mind, and in the end, I'll keep the Facebook page because it is low time budget to maintain, and family/friends/audience on it, so it is still a + for me and them.
I'll spend my 2 external links on "monthly update" on my blog and personal promotion (linktree in my profile, patronage) .
And I'll insert on my monthly report a message for my audience following me from Meta products.

Yes! But you see the door/windows behind her on the photo, for a long time, it was the maximum distance she could get inside while Charlie was jumping on all sofas, desk, and visited every "under of furnitures" (good little duster).
This morning, she tried to enter a little more, just a little circle of 2m or 3. With her, there is no 'breakthrough" and it's very step by step, everyday, a little difference.

Stray Kitten Report 7: slow progress with the little female, Charlotte, and that's a big contrast with Charlie, who now uses the cat door and visits home by himself. But she starts to play a lot.
She's got that tiny face, mini paws, major eye makeup, and dramatic meows. She can't resist stealing the cat toys she plays with and hoarding them under our garden wood cabin. A little diva, but she also loves wrestling matches with Charlie. I'll show you that under ↓🧵

Hey, this episode is a bit special so I wanted to write a little note under: it mirrors the second episode of the Avian Intelligence series https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/028.html and it punishes this scholar with a snake tatoo who scanned the research of Cepper in the previous episode against her consent.
I'm preparing a book with the Avian Intelligence series, and this mirroring effect is for the logic of ending the book (but this episode is not the end, next one will be my conclusion... for the book 1).

But at the same time, both of them now spend all their afternoon on the terrace, playing, and they only go to sleep under my wood cabin on the garden, 10 meters away. They stay now in 'garden territory'
Now both react to our whistling and call. And we start to be able to touch Charlotte (she doesn't like it and move away quickly). It's a long process 😅 .

Yes, probably. But I discussed with these users: they really don't have the basics of browsing the web, or searching something, or learning the new user interface of a blog. We, advanced user, don't even think anymore about all of that, but for them; facebook = internet. They did learn it, and now everything else require a too expensive cognitive effort, something that make them tired only thinking about it (fear to fail, fear to not adapt). It's complicated.

I also reposted all the anti GAFAM artworks I produced on it, and tried to tell them the Facebook page was fragile and would be my main point of tension (esp. after closing the Twitter account, LinkedIn account and Reddit account years ago.); but poeple just want tomorrow to be another yesterday. Especially true on Facebook.

Totally another problem, a content in itself has no retention, no network effect.
You can even still watch H.Potter media if you don't provide money to the author, and don't produce reviews or praising that encourage other to give to the author. All in all, if you don't empower the author financially.
Smthing else, someone (esp. young) can suffer cultural social exclusion from not knowing some mainstream culture; exclusion from social groups because not sharing the codes.

It tells more about how some relations are fragile and sometime the link between persons are fragile and they use what they consider the most easy way to keep the relation.
For following artist, it is sometime just an habits, like opening a journal (Timeline) and seeing the cartoonist of the newspaper do his thing on the bottom. Sometime reading it, sometime not.
I don't think it tells much about the ideology of people, many are here by pure habits and no digital hygiene.

Good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Yes, I might end up doing the same if Facebook prevent me to do the ABC of content creator living on Internet.
Only keep a dormant account to keep the namespace, and keep the relation with distant family and old friends via Messenger (and encourage them to continue discussion on Signal App if they have, I often inform about that).

Stray kitten report 6: big steps this week; Charlie, the male kitten, is now spending a lot of time at home and also eats his meals with our cats. He is playful, adorable and cuddly. He is growing really fast!
Also, yesterday was the first time I could play with his sister ('Charlotte'). She still lives outside, but she now feels more relaxed around our home and comes to play with Charlie every day.
I still can't get close to the mother. I'm working on it!

Ca pourrait le faire. Je vais m'intéresser aussi aux typographies qui résistent à la reconnaissance de texte dans les images, et donc l'algorithme.
En tout cas, même marquer "suivre le lien dans ma bio" (même pas une URL) est comptabilisé par le système comme une tentative de lien externe dans le décompte. J'ai tenté en alternative pour partager mon "monthly report".
C'est dystopique ce qui se passe...

Understandable. I had 20 years of Wacom; I was disappointed gradually. My last model was the Intuos Pro Large, a gift from Wacom because they reused one of my tutorial on their own blog. It was a good tablet: solid painting/drawing experience, but fragile: I ruined it in less than a year (woobly plastic for the stylus, I was consuming a stylus nib per month and overlay sheet totally scratched).
I'm curious if the last revisions they made are better now.

Yep, I know. I already explained the many reasons on other comments here that keep me posting on this page.

A part of my supporters follows it this way. Also a long network effect on it (group of friends, family, etc...) and many people I know IRL who follow me on it. Real life example: I went to the doctor on Friday, he follows me on Fb and had a smile and liked to comment my recent episodes.
Leaving silently (because I can't link about the reason, shadowban system, and no external link allowed) would backfire to me socially more than I can afford. But I'm thinking about a strategy to leave.

yeah... including in the comments.
The two links I already posted were the "speedpainting links" part of the MiniFantasyTheater episode posts. I guess I'll have to stop posting the timelapse on Fb.

"and your forgot it was tech not pen and paper"
This is a misconception: you never forget. A digital device can't be like pen and paper. Backlight in your eyes, friction very different, not flow of ink or scratch on paper. It's something very different.
Don't believe any marketing argument of the "it's like on paper", it will never be. It's something else and require a training. But once you have it, you forget about it, for real.

For me it's the one I'm using right now since 2 years almost: the XpPen Artist Pro 19 (gen2), I can't believe how resistant it is to my daily rythme and productivity, still looks like new. But this one require to buy an extra 'regular stylus 'gen2'' separately (it comes with a thin and a stylus with a scroll wheel that I didn't like by default).
Next would be the XpPen Artist Pro 16 (gen2), very similar with a sane stylus, that was my previous one in production.

Don't worry, everything is all set since a long time (I'm into activism against GAFAM since a long time, almost as soon as they appeared in my region of the world ~2010).
I have probably 30x the audience via RSS (according the server log) than Facebook followers. But I know ~30 poeples personally IRL that follows the FB page and are captive of it for many reasons (family/school/work).

I already did multiple time in the past, but the post were immediately shadowban. I had also feedback that this type of promotion to move away is now is a motive of ban on Meta platforms.
I'm thinking about a special MiniFantasyTheater footer on the last panel for Facebook. Something I'll have to code/automate.

Thank you! 💜 Oh yes, I hope we'll be healthy and motivated in 10 years to do it again, with the same persons around!
Yes, the place was really special!

Because of an historical presence since 2010, 16K (nice persons) followers that I often meet IRL and are publishing nice comments. There is a little vibrant P&C community over there, that have their dissonance about using Facebook/Messenger, because they have to: for staying in contact with their family, their co-workers, the group of the parents for their child at school, well, a social life.
Same for me, it would cut bridges with family member if I wasn't on it.

Oh yes! Far better.
But I think famous persons, politicians, brands are not coming around here (or still an exception when they do) because there is not a "pay to win" system in place here, so they can't buy their success. 😆

Yes, not wise and not intelligent, to stay in a deal with one side behaving like a bandit: taking (content) without giving back the opportunity for the content creator to get support.
Unfortunately, I used the two links with the two first comic of the month, just to link to the timelapse. To prevent "your art is AI" rain of messages. I'll have now to choose to remove this link, so I can post a monthly link and a blog post one time per month.

It's complex for user to scan the QR code, if this one appears on the screen of the device they use to scan it. I say that, because according to the built in analytics, most of my Facebook audience check their timeline on smartphones. So, I'm not sure if they can have the possibility to do that, that's sad.

I can't. I could with Twitter (and before Elon took it) because it was only "professional relationship" and I knew our professional bubble of FLOSS digital painting was already very active here on the Fediverse.
But on Facebook, it's old aunt, cousins, fans I met at signing session, that always leave a nice comments and follow weekly, 16K in total.
Even if Facebook act like a bandit, if I leave, they'll shadow ban my message of leaving, and I'll get blamed by the audience for doing it.
