OK I found it, but it was on #SmackJeeves, but apparently it's not among the ones archived in the corresponding archive.org collection
https://archive.org/details/smackjeeves-web-comics
even though, AFAICS, it _is_ available in the archive. -
So, between FB/IG on one side and sites like WebToons or Tapas on the other, the main point of the thread was that there is now a dearth of the experimental, free-for-all cultural environment in which webcomics developed.
I don't think this is true (and tried to mention, but wasn't given much attention): the “spiritual” (and in many ways actual) successor to #SmackJeeves is #ComicFury, where you can still find anything from poorly-drawn sketches to well-drawn (or rendered) compelling stories. -
There was an interesting conversation on Twitter some time before the Musk takeover about webcomic history and the important role that hosting services (particularly #SmackJeeves first and #KeenSpot later) had on the development of the medium and in launching artists. Among the many changes the Internet has undergone in the mean time, it was argued, was the drift towards irrelevancy of these platforms.

Since the #Smackjeeves announcement, I went back through this year-old resource about how to move your #webcomic to an independent host, so all the information is fresh and up-to-date!

CW: In case any of y'all use Smack Jeeves
They announced a major change to the site, but it's easy to miss the announcement: https://www.smackjeeves.com/sj-renewal-announcement.php
They're removing the customization features that make SJ distinct from Tapas and LWT. If SJ's customizability (templates, extra pages, the ability to use Disqus) is important to you, back those things up now and consider switching to ComicFury or self-hosting! You've got until January.
