I looked at the link but then a pop-up happened and the page became locked. How annoying.
(and at the bottom of the screen it sez Instagram is also owned by Meta/Facebook)

IMO some of that artwork qualifies for the NSFW label, and perhaps not suitable for a 'family friendly' environment.

Perhaps keep the art and the social media chat thing separate?
Host elsewhere and provide a link on your FB page.

I suspect your post has way more to do with assuring yourself that others should hold you in esteem than it has to do with my art.

For instance, you did a fairly decent job of sanctimoniously passing judgement on myself, and my art, based on your personal morals. And you did it in a subtly judgemental and demeaning way.

Where your input falls flat is in assuming I'm interested in adhering to your morals. I have no more interest in doing that than I do in abiding by those of a Muslim, condoning me for depicting living things.

I am happy you reacted, in some way, to my art. (It was my art and not the pop-up, right?) That's every artist's goal. Thank you.

I'm actually surprised if your photo is pornographic. I paint in pastels and belong to several local art guilds. I don't do allot of life drawing and I never have posted life drawing forms on FB, but I know artists who have and still do. There are art organizations such as PSA, Salmagundi, Plein Art Painters etc who post art from their galleries that may have portraits of nudes. In the past FB had a policy of no nudes (photos) but...........art is acceptable

I do have an Instagram account where I post just my art. My work is cityscapes. Most artists I know do the same. Again, life drawing paintings are posted.

Social media companies are very sensitive in the content they display - there is allot of inappropriate content out there and allot of predators too, but I don't see you painting as that.

Not at all. Please don't read that into my comments.

Art is a very good thing and wonderful way to pass the time and express oneself. In my youth I drew quite a bit and took many classes in school, but haven't lately and should. It's wonderful and inspiring to see others doing it. You have some talent.

Before the Instagram page locked I noticed some of the subject material involved genitals and hands, which would naturally trigger a NSFW label by websites. The classic naked statues of old can get away with cherubs molesting naked women, murders are live-streamed on channels, but some websites are more finicky and sensitive these days with user content. That is all. Keep on drawin'

Bummer about the pop-up and the locked page; that can be super annoying! And yeah, it's worth noting that Instagram is also under the Meta/Facebook umbrella.
