Sorry to tell you but American platforms/forums are as bad, if not worse. Anytime I say something that can be picked apart and destructively critiqued–it will be. There is no immune place, aside from a community or platform that only accepts positivity and removes or bans negative comments etc.

Exactly correct!

How bad would you feel if I told you he made this with his feet? Also, how impressive?

Got it. Can we use this game for this community?

This was more intense than I thought. Could we just call this category ‘career sports’? I’ve seen competitive excel spreadsheets, I need more gamified everyday-thing sports.

What are the official rules of that game? Because the ones I have found have you use links to random pictures on Flickr and are copyrighted. They wouldn’t work considering your rule of only OC.

To each their own, looks like it did pretty well to me, not that it matters.

It might be more accurate to use something like Leonardo.AI rather than ChatGPT because you can edit existing images as needed and set the seed. You can even keep a consistent ‘character’ and reuse it in many pictures. Its dreamshaper model is based on SD. I have had the most accurate results with Leonardo. I don’t use ChatGPT/Dall-E for images, it uses too much on a free plan.

Well. I hope this community is met with good intentions. I wanted to make a self-improvement community, but the one that exists is void, and their intentions were only for it to be people posting with their experiences and asking for advice. I wanted to make a decide to be better community as I used to use on reddit, there was one but also dead as a community, and more for experiences and advice. This community was originally an idea for resources only, but seeing the other communities unused, I decided to expand to advice. Mental health community exists but they don’t have anyone posting resources, maybe there is a pinned post but I want to open this community to both resources AND support. And sharing how you overcame your struggle. And then I expanded it to all aspects of self improvement. Anyone can post diet/nutrition, physical health, financial tips articles, career etc resources and advice or ask for it. However any written advice that is not a link to another source, should be met with caution and critical thinking, in hopes of good faith.

I will be sure to remove any trolls or negative comments. There is a rule about positivity only when replying and content/trigger warnings required when necessary. If anyone would like to be a mod let me know.

It is just an over-powered autocorrect, that same concept applies to images, just repeating patterns of pixels.

did you forget that this is a shitposting community not a wholesome content community. I posted this because I wanted to make fun of it AND Reddit. Pointing out the obvious that I have seen in multiple places–not just news on social media, but my local news on TV, and many other places using a Reddit post–that is impossible to verify whether it was made up or not-as a source for ‘content’. But even if it was false and just propaganda, I don’t think the right are capable of interpreting this as you described. (I purposely don’t look for these connections because I make it a point to ignore politics as a whole, and even after pointing it out, I still don’t care).

Just create an alt account and ask on AskLemmyNSFW

There is not much stopping them. All the more reason to boycott. There are small trustworthy, non-politically-leaning news sources still worth using.

Why? Why should we?

I only keep my account for family and close friends. Occasionally I will see pages I follow. Every comment, just about, on that post is people either continuing the conversation for the Reddit post or a joke about the type of content. I figure, they get a lot of engagement when they first started doing this, and just followed the pattern to keep people seeing them in their feed. Same gimmick as the rage bait and the pseudo-wholesome content.

All major news stations are. They each push their own agenda.
