Welcome to Blue Sky!
Here's a little review of since features and cultural norms for newer users:
- There is no algorithm. Liking is nice but does little to boost visibility. If you like it, share it.
- Conversely, the only way for garbage to spread is by sharing it. Don't hate-share to dunk.

When a big media company uses genai slop instead of human made art, it is not just taking a job away from one artist to make that thing but *multiple* artists involved in all the things.
The entire artist-hiring pipeline gets destroyed in favor of chugging from the hot dogshit pipeline.

I've had my share of body dysmorphia in life and doing pose reference modeling has honestly helped a ton with those feelings. My body has changed a lot in 18 years but any reference photo I take might be the ONE someone needs.

Seeing this exchange and we have just lost the plot. The greatest damage the trump era politics has brought to American political discourse is normalizing having a narrative over what is factual reality, and then not feeling any sort of shame about making up stuff because that stuff is convenient.

Guess it never occurred to her that the face eating leopards she helped release would eat her face, too.
No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.
