It seems like they’re using AI to edit them, I’m 99% sure it’s just some kind of troll account.

At the end of the post.

Linking to the source should be the primary way of attribution.

Also in that post they said we should link to the source instead and then proceeds to not do that.

It’s a sexual comic whose entire subject is basically “horny alien wants to fuck”

Marking it NSFW isn’t “censorship” it’s just a warning… What do you actually think censorship means?

They used AI to do it how sad can you be.

Look at the difference in the arm on the man in the bottom panel and the bangs on the lady.

And no this isn’t someone who innocently found an altered version, they do this deliberately: https://lemmus.org/post/21226925

Except people can configure if they want NSFW posts blurred or not. You can set it to not if you like.

That’s complete and utter nonsense.

They’re asking you to label it not censor it

Aren’t most of them just a handle or name in the margin? Seems ridiculous to think it ruins your experience somehow. You’re just being actively hostile to artists for some reason.

Yeah in that post they also said linking should be the primary method of attribution and then proceeded to brush the artist’s name out of this one while also not linking it anyway.

They mean like artist’s signatures or handles… Like the ones they crop out a lot.

In fact this user in their recent posts has cropped out or even brushed over the artist’s name/handle. It’s gross.

Wait you didn’t just crop the artist’s name out it looks like it was intentionally brushed out. Wtf why

Oh that reminds me of this, give it a watch if you get a chance (it’s only 3 minutes): https://youtube.com/watch?v=IFe9wiDfb0E

Legitimately kinda creepy to think about

I believe it’s three instances that were picked for the moment, including mine (I’m the admin) which has been going for nearly 3 years. I think their logic is to spread people out from the big instances.

I would want to know the answer to questions such as: (1) are there multiple people on the instance admin team, (2) are they well-funded, since a negative answer to either of those might mean that the server disappears six months from now, which is a major inconvenience.

I mean I think most people ending up on that page probably don’t even know to ask. They may have no familiarity with fediverse software or what the hell an instance is. They just want to sign up to this reddit alternative they heard about.

It’s a hard balance for sure.

Yep that was a change a while back. Choice makes some people think there’s too much effort involved so the first recommendation is a random “general” server. You can still see the list if you want.

If you can’t handle them at their horniest, you don’t deserve them at their funniest.

On average yes actually

The truth of it tends to be more that gun nuts own a dozen or more guns which skews things, but legitimately iirc over 40% of US households have at least one.

I don’t think so. They support anti-western international policy but I think the consensus is that it’s a reactionary capitalist hellhole and Putin is a POS

For example this Hexbear thread where even one of the Hexbear moderators says “I would very much like to see [Putin] shot in the face.”
