You were banned for the same thing in 2020, let's not pretend you didn't know the ToS applies to streaming the game too. It costs absolutely nothing to be nice to people. You're rude af to other CCs and the devs on stream and twitter. Is it really a surprise?
I was banned on FFXIV for Aggressive comments and behavior against others during twitch streams. I was not aware the ToS applied to outside of game as long as ANY FFXIV copyright content was visible. I was not given any details about the ban other than that. More details later.
I will not support a game if they use AI at ANY level. I don't care how minimal it is, I don't care how "ethical" they say it is. Gen AI at its core is such a pathetic excuse to substitute real passion and work and that lack of humanity disgusts me. Do better.
@party_animals This ain't it fam. You know damn well that AI models are made from works illegally and unethically scraped from hardworking artists. Instead of making the decision yourselves to right your wrong, you're putting it onto your community to rectify your fuck up and idiocy. Fuck AI π

My take on the new 'Edit image' feature β¬οΈ
The reality is that most artists who don't have other already established socials will stay on Twitter/X.
Despite everything, it's way too much work to rebuild from scratch. Our community and clients are here, and blaming it on those who stay is just unfair. I understand those who leave, but mass deleting all your art isn't a solution either.
What if someone reuploads it and now you have no proof you posted it first? What if someone feeds your art into AI outside of Twitter? Are you just gonna stop making art altogether? What's next, are you gonna forbid your clients from using your art on Twitter? I can guarantee if you're a freelance artist for a living, this is not viable.
Even if you go to other apps, it's not because you make a bsky that there's now a magic barrier preventing people from downloading your art and feeding it into AI. I know it's now easier than ever on this platform, but still. I reposted a post that got 7k likes here on bsky, and it got 10 likes. I'm stuck here, wether I like it or not. And it's the same for thousands of artists. The best we can do is start growing other accs on the side.
AI is everywhere, and this goes way beyond art. Nightshade doesn't work anymore. Glazing, watermarks no matter how big, low resolution.. Nothing works anymore besides posting images as gif and we all know it's not a long term solution.
But despite all that, I will keep posting. I will keep finding clients here. Everyone has a different experience on socials and maybe changing platforms will work for you, but there's one thing we all have in common: Our art and ideas belong to us. Slop edits won't change that.
That being said, I would highly recommend that you do not post irl pictures of yourself and loved ones in this AI era, no matter the platform. Deepfakes are easier to make than ever, and a few compliments really aren't worth it.
