It's so sad that people and artists in particular are generally bad at managing websites. It's so easy to create your own gallery page with paintings of other artists, directly linking to their galleries. If everyone did this, there would be an infinite gallery of artworks for everyone to visit; without ads or other imposed content.

Dear @QOTO, I'm getting a "500" error when searching for these Mastodon users on other servers in an attempt to follow them:
- @paulg
- @marius
I use the advanced web interface (screenshot). I checked that the mas.to server doesn't block qoto.org according to https://mas.to/about.

You saw it first on Mastodon.
