Fair enough. I thought him calling the post dumb was a step beyond, but I appreciate you looking into it and coming up with a decision. Thank you!

If you think it’s a “dumb idea” for a community, why are you here?

Dude, I’m wondering if you’re aware of what this community is called, and what it’s about. It has nothing to do with supporting Amazon or Walmart. What are you going on about?

I think you just wanna be a jerk in all of your online interactions. Your mod history…um, it’s pretty telling.

We’re done. Have great day, mate.

I’m not saying you should be blocked, I’m saying you don’t have to be a jerk. The OP was getting something off their chest and ranting. That’s what the comm is for.

But to come at them in the comments, sorta breaks the spirit of the community and makes less people wanna post here.

Your comment would be better handled if you started a new post and just said that you’re upset that so many people use amazon. That way you are not attacking the OP directly.

Reported you. This post is for people to get stuff of of their chest. Not for you to get mad about the fact that not everyone shares your political/economical beliefs. Y

Most people use Amazon. Accept it.

I love Amazon. And Temu :)

Oh, it’s happening. Better get your sunblock ready

Great shot! It looks totally real too.

This is awesome. Which llm did you use that gave you the suggestion?

Yep, and what sucks, is that even tho you blocked them, they can still see all of your posts, and respond to them with the same attacks, but you won’t see it. Everyone else will. Lemmy is getting more and more toxic.

I did report, and did block. And I got harrassed for reporting. But all good, after blocking and ignoring, I have moved on.

Great points. I’ve seen people on here say that reddit is too conservative for them. Ok, if they think reddit is conservative, yeah, they are freaking extreme. So I think you make really good points!

This is the answer!

I don’t have an answer for you, OP. I will say that Lemmy is the angriest social media platform I have ever been on. I have never seen so many angry people who will actually stalk people (across mulitple posts) they disagree with, as I have seen on Lemmy. I’ve seen people here advocate for murder and torture of people and/or politicians they don’t agree with. It’s crazy!

Where ya been? See: !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

thx

Meh, I consider .world to be reddit. The rest of Lemmy is cool tho! :)

You’re right. Staying quiet is not admitting anything, but it does leave a false accusation hanging.

Calling everything AI does not stop AI. It only makes real artists want to stop sharing. That hurts the art community, it hurts Lemmy, and IMHO, hurts the world a little too.

My step-by-step posts were not made for @dontsayaword@piefed.social . I made those posts earlier to show new artists that ya don’t need lotsa money to make comics. I use the cheapest Amazon pencils and pens, take photos with my phone, and finish everything with free software on an ancient desktop. Photopea, GIMP, Linux Mint, free fonts.

My girlfriend’s daughter is 10 yrs old. Draws constantly. Today we’re gonna sit down to draw together because I bought her a new sketchbook. The odds of her making a living with art are already low. They were low for me too, but I was able to do it. Different world today, tho.

So she’ll probably draw for fun, and share things for free. Now imagine her opening the comments and seeing “AI slop” and “clearly AI” on something she worked hard on.

If kids and beginners get falsely called AI over and over, a lot of them will just stop sharing. That’s why I defended. :)

Maybe you are mistaking computer being used for post design clean-up/layout as ai. Because I have detailed what I do, step-by-step with pictures of my process: https://reddthat.com/post/59476267

And even more examples of my step-by-step processes:

I’m older than your grandma, and I’ve been a professional artist and writer for over 25 years. Long before ai.

Are you an illustrator or cartoonist or graphic designer? Because everything I do is very common in the industry. In fact, most cartoonist use the computer more than I do, because they sketch on the computer w a tablet, whereas I still do my layout w sketchbook, pencils, and pens, before I convert to electronic file.

If seeing me draw an image, step-by-step, then seeing me layout out my stuff on computer, step-by-step, then me telling you the fonts I use, the computer software I use, and my computer desktop system, fails to convince you, then nothing will.

I’ve literally showed my entire process.

It’s a quick one-panel gag comic, that you’re supposed to glance at for 10 seconds, maybe chuckle, and move on. It ain’t that deep or serious. I write, draw, and post comics all day every day, to my comm, !cartoons@reddthat.com. I’m doing my best to add original content to Lemmy to help it grow.

There’s really nothing else I can do about you insisting something is ai. That’s on you, not me. I wish ya luck out there, and I appreciated ya giving me your thoughts.

For the record, the actual artist is Skip Williamson. :)

My entire “gimmick” is not about AI conspiracies. The Lemmy part is because I created this comic specifically as a Lemmy-only comic for my own community. The ai conspiracies is because it’s a current subject everywhere.

I draw plenty of other comics about other subjects, my other art name is mr.prol1f1c and I have many comics posted from with name in my comics community: !Cartoons@reddthat.com

Also, how have I spammed? I post to my own community and one other comics community. I don’t copy my comics to this community, another poster does. Please tell me how that counts as spamming.
