I'm thinking about leaving Bsky. I am too used to see companies pretending to be ethical only to end up stealing from their users to feed AI behind their back.

Keep in mind that Itaku & Newgrounds actually respect artists' rights & are against art theft. You will see more posts of mine there.

Understandable. Most people who look at art online aren't art critics after all. Plus, you're more likely to get an average score of 4.5 / 5 on Newgrounds if you draw something that everyone likes — even if it's just a doodle made in 10 minutes — than something niche in a non-mainstream art style.

Thank you ! (^^)

I don't know what's up with Instagram, but I'm glad that the site itself prevented me from creating an account just because I use a proxy.

Instagram insists so much on collecting personal data only to give a poor service to its users.

Whatever side people support in this war, the blatant double-standards Twitter users have regarding racism will always impress me. This is damn ironic because he clearly isn't any better than the imaginary 'antisemitic' person by being openly racist.

It IS dangerous to go alone.
Take this:

This is exactly why I roll my eyes everytime I see callout posts about someone being a so-called [random buzzword]. The 'proofs' are either out-of-context screenshots or 'testimonies' from a friend group ( 'surprisingly', always minors ) who had a beef with the person who is called out.

I already knew that Etsy was garbage when I saw the amount of Ebay scammers moving there & 2 entire pages of thieves selling framed AI-generated images yet claiming them as 'painted by themselves'. It will be even harder for actual artisans to sell their original creations now.

This is adorable !
