Please don’t downvote the “bad” art. Some of us well, I know I am not great at the visual arts (I am a performing arts guy, if you manage to catch one of my shows you are in for a treat), especially now thanks to having lost some pieces. Sometimes I have nowhere else to share my shit because let’s be real, my friends don’t care.
Let’s encourage the art and artists we see, I guess is what I’m asking. I know I could use it, so I bet others could too.
I’ll downvote in an art share community if:
The art is politically trolling or otherwise deliberately offensive.
An artist is spamming there with too many posts in a short time.
The artist is self promoting too hard in the title/comments. (Or includes any sort of ‘clickbait’.)
The art is really, really, really bad. Like, “I’ve seen toddlers draw on the wall with crayon more skillfully than this” kind of bad.

As long as you can do better than a toddler dragging crayons across the wall, you’re safe from me.
Fuck
There actually is a community for posting bad art only:
!shitty_art_share@piefed.social
Please don’t downvote there :v
What if the art is too good?
Definitely downvote there if the art is good.
Followed by a sneering, rude as hell comment that’s actually praising them.
