    So ban evasion. That’s why you have at least four accounts that I know about?

    My dude. My brother in Christ. It seems like it might be you who is taking things personally. You are showing mods and admins here in the fediverse that your actions are deliberate and irrational.

    It costs you nothing to just move on and stop the antisocial behavior that got you in trouble in the first place.

    Yeah. I figured you weren’t aware (same for a lot of people who downvoted the original comment).

    Op is not consistent about cropping signatures or removing credits. A lot of their older posts didn’t have credits removed.

    I’d like to think there’s a possibility that their post was a joke for April Fools but posts before April 1st and after it kind of refute that. They also continue to double down or feign ignorance like I’ve seen on other posts to avoid being called out or to try to shout down people who call them out for their own behavior. Both their post and comment history are telling.

    If attribution can be given by linking to the original artist or otherwise annotating that the post did not have attribution and none could be found, that might be acceptable.

    But this post is in reference to a prolific poster who is deliberately removing attribution they think is “ads” which includes the artists signatures, watermarks, and social media attributions. That user has been deliberately removing said attributions recently because they “want ad free art”.







  • Some people on Tumblr really needed this last week. There was a poll asking if the ones with Autism would get rid of it if they could. A lot of people mentioned that they have both Autism and ADHD and would get rid of ADHD in a heartbeat. I am in the minority of people who have come to accept having Autism and ADHD as part of who I am, and I recognize that there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m perfectly fine the way I am. I don’t know who I would be if I got rid of either of them.

    I’d rather the world change to be more accepting of people who are different because every difference is important. I was born this way and as far as I’m concerned the world should accept me. It’s no different than being born a brunette or with brown eyes. A more accepting world can exist, but we have to survive in it and thrive in it for that to happen.




  • Think about the people you willingly surround yourself with. Then think about how often they agree with the things you think and say.

    As the saying goes “I’m sure there’s someone out there who believes the exact opposite of everything I believe, and while I’m sure they aren’t a complete idiot…”

    Everyone is susceptible to the feedback loop. Everyone can fall victim to the seduction of an echo chamber. While not everyone would ignore the red flag that this thing is a machine/digital algorithm rather than a person or sentient/sapient being, it’s not really that hard to see how we got here. Echo chambers exist all over the internet. The difference is that most of them have some voices of dissent. The AI LLM doesn’t offer that. They keep trying to add it in but it’s basically antithetical to the design.

    When you add that to the fact that making it addictive benefits their bottom line is pretty obvious that they are trying to walk the line between being regulated by the government and making their product as popular as possible.

    I don’t think they really knew it would have this exact effect. But I do think they plan to take advantage of it now that they know and I don’t think we humans are all going to be able to fight the temptation of an automated propaganda machine.

    This is especially because mental health and healthcare in this country has been failing for decades, and even people who “don’t have mental health problems” aren’t magically mentally healthy, they just don’t know the status of their mental health. A whole lot of people in the US especially are mentally ill or facing neurological medical problems that they don’t know about.
