elyusion1. Does anyone know how these were used?
I thought about it, and concluded maybe they went on your friends' walls. Kidzworld had comment sections on profiles but we couldn't send images in them, but if I could that's probably how I would've used them? These days I'm not active on any sites that have walls or profile comments anymore... Do I really wanna hop back on SpaceHey just to use these internet greeting cards...
The ones that have no use as a normal greetings card and are just funny I assume are things you would put in your profile/bio/signature/etc. I don't really know though. I'm too young! If anyone knows or remembers the various ways people would use them, please tell me.
2. Does anyone know any microblogging platform that has built-in RSS feeds and customizable profiles beyond "you can choose an icon and header" besides Status.cafe? Or is that the only one? I don't dislike it or anything, I just want to know if I have options.

Wow, these gave me such a hit of nostalgia. I do remember them mostly being posted on friends' walls. I remember seeing a couple of them in peoples' comments on LJ posts too. These days I only really see graphics like this included in scanlation group releases, like if they're greeting one of their group members who just had a birthday.

Do you remember what kinds of LJ posts they went under? Like, did you wait for someone to say "today's my birthday :D" and reply with a picture there, or could someone post literally anything and it'd be okay to add a greeting card as long as it's the right holiday? Or maybe they went in the replies of their sticky? I'm sure it varied, but I don't want to be mistaken. From exactly one post I've seen on DW, I think people might have made their own original posts saying "happy birthday to [whoever]!!," and there you could probably stick a graphic too.
I've seen it in scans too, but tbh I feel like said scans must be pretty old. It could be just the things I read, but these new scan groups present themselves as real professional.

I think it was a mix of it? If I remember correctly.

This definitely depends on the group 😂 I've read scanlations of 18+ BL titles (doujin and non-doujin) where the groups had rainbow peens emblazoned on their graphic art inserts.
