Deviantart is back, but I'll stop using it

So on the 20th of last month, someone on the site was sending DMCAs on my fan art. It resulted in my account being suspended on the 23rd. Now the problem here is that Deviantart just pretty much let this happen without doing any background checks at all. The guy who sent the DMCAs was NOT the copyright holder of Ben 10, nor was he in charge of Cartoon Network, so the DMCAs should have never gone through. Because the staff here suspended my account by believing some random guy, I honestly don't know if I can keep using this site. I plan to post everything here onto my other sites, but it has become clear to me that this site just is not safe anymore if anyone can just send a DMCA on something without a background check being run on it.

Also, they completely ghosted me for 2 weeks, and this time ALL of my watchers that I spent 6 years gathering are gone, my journals are blank now, and my gallery folders do not exist anymore. Also all of my favorites are gone and I'm no longer watching anyone anymore :(

I will keep my Deviantart up, I don't plan to delete it, but I also can't keep using this site because of this whole dumb event and because of the complete radio silence on Deviantart's Support's end. So even though everything will stay there, this is goodbye from that site until it becomes better.
