Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them.

It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I’m in Japan right now so I’m obliged to remind the world — we don’t want AI. We want a robust rail system. We want trains. Metros. High speed. Locals. Cute trains. Efficient trains. Trains.

Good for artists, ya, but everyone: poison random web images, memes, social uploads

A small % makes the web less safe to scrape. My 2022 mac laptop did the attachment in 3 min. Noticeable on a solid color image like this--learn to like it ;)

3) These have a normalizing effect on cruelty.

If people see other people being cruel, they are more likely to join in. Bots can start fights and encourage human trolls to join AND normalize the language that these trolls use and make them more likely to use it in the future.

This is a really good thread on why these types of accounts exist and what the goal is! Manipulating the temperature of the conversation and setting people on edge serves a *lot* of purposes. #BadActorBingo
So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵
this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

ngl in light of all the troll/discourse bots showing up on bsky, remember that you do not owe anyone a response. You do not owe anyone online your time or attention, and replying to people is not an obligation. If you don't feel joy talking to someone here, just mute/block them and move on.

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :("

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

🚫 Don't argue with them!
🚫 Don't quote them!

If you didn't know, I was banned by Midjourney 3 times for exposing their infringement and plagiarism. Their AI can very easily recreate stolen training data (even without naming it), so here's a thread of images you can use to shut AI proponents down. 🧵

Twitter provocateurs (or, “assholes”) are joining en masse, so it’s a good time to remind you that blocking here is easy, fun, and nuclear.

Heated discourse is great and can educate people, but there’s simply no point in entertaining anyone who’s just looking to cause harm.
