Art app idea

I really love the idea of getting to create an app for artists that has the purpose of revitalizing the community of art

Because from what I've seen in alot of social platforms (especially tiktok) its unfourtunately become so common for artists to be treated like shit, bullying, harrassment, unique art styles being bashed, beginner artists being treated awful and its so upsetting. We're at a point in time right now where art isn't properly being appreciated or approached, now its like people only see art as content to consume rather than something that exists for the artist. Its especially not being appreciated considering all the a.i. generated art with people behind it constantly trying to tell people to stop creating

I wasn't on deviantart in the past but i have heard people talk about it, people say they remember getting long detailed comments about parts of their art, and how it was just nicer, and i wish i could give that back to people. Maybe some day I'll be able to make the app

The app would allow all art, from traditional to digital to diaromas to sculpers, no censorship, a tagging system, a way to block certain tags you don't want to see, no a.i. art allowed. There can be options for videos so you can upload animations as well, I would probably take an example from spacehey and use inspiration from an older website for its design (and i would totally have detailed profile customation because i think thats one of the coolest things ever and can give so much personality to the user). Id probably also add in these little sticker things that you can add to your profile/posts so people viewing it can get a quick idea of what your art is (ex: beginner artist, digital artist, traditional artists, fandom artist, oc artist etc;)

And finally I'd just try to do my best to encourage the people who join to follow rules that'll help the art community actually feel like a community again. No bullying beginner artsists, don't give unsolicited advice or criticism, don't bully a person for an art style, leave kind comments, etc; 

I feel like a large part of the reason that places like tiktok, or twitter has such a bullying problem on peoples art is that its not really places made or designed with artists in mind you know? Deviantart was undeniably an artists place to post, and while other apps can absolutely have art sides to them they're also filled with non artists who just like to make fun of people for a few likes in the comment section. I am a firm believer that majority of negative behavior towards artist's isn't even from people who can actually draw just bystanders who feel like they have a right to treat people like shit

Cara already exists but it's not very popular and i don't think there's a tagging system there... :\
