DMs, emails, WhatsApp? Why artists need a better place to communicate

No answer is also an answer.
Anyone working in the creative scene knows this feeling: You connected, maybe had a great conversation, maybe even met up. Then? Nothing. Silence. No reply, no follow-up, no "Sorry, just saw this now." Just: nothing.
Welcome to the chaos of creative communication.

We're everywhere. And that's the problem.
Some of us use Instagram DMs. Others email. Some swear by WhatsApp or Signal. Then there are Messenger, Facebook, texts, even the occasional phone call (yep, still a thing).
Which means: You scroll endlessly, you screenshot things "just in case," you copy-paste info between apps, you lose track of what was said where.
And suddenly you're chasing a gig you already said yes to, but can't find the message. Or the person.
We're not project managers. But we still have projects.
Artists are not secretaries. But we still need to coordinate.
We book gigs. We collaborate. We create together.
And for all that to work, we need clarity.
Not chaos.
The truth is: most tools we use weren’t made for us.
Instagram was made for visibility, not for working together.
Email is too slow and buried in spam.
Messengers feel too personal.
What creatives need is a dedicated space where exchange, collaboration and creative identity come together.
That’s why oyfora is different.
We start where others stop: right at the conversation.
You see a profile that inspires you? You connect. You chat.
No jumping apps. No hunting down messages.
It all stays in one place. Your people, your talks, your network.
Because when communication flows, collaboration happens.
And when collaboration happens, the scene grows stronger.
So if you're tired of chasing replies across platforms:
Try something made for us.
Spread the word.
