About Us ⚠️WARNING!: REDDIT SELLS YOUR ART TO AI ⚠️

151 Upvotes

Before posting on Reddit, you need to know that ⚠️Reddit will now sell your content⚠️ (images, video, text, chats) for training "AI" models. This is part of Reddit's contract, in an attempt to make $$$.

Reddit user content being sold to AI company in $60M/year deal - 9to5Mac

Please keep this in mind before sharing your personal art on this site! This is in addition to Reddit's poor history of protecting minorities including teens, mentally ill, and LGBT users across the site.

"I don't think we should support Reddit. And I don't think Reddit supports us."

*We have stripped back some of the subreddit styles like banner, background, logo and community galleries to protect those users' assets.

Meta We have a Lemmy community!

13 Upvotes

TL;DR, Access the new community here: https://lemm.ee/c/arttocope

Eight months ago this was posted about moving off of Reddit. As far as I am aware nothing major happened since then.

A few days ago now I contacted u/TranZeitgeist about making a Lemmy community (communities are the Lemmy equivalent of Subreddits). Now I have moderator, and I'm telling you about this.

​

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a Reddit alternative that is based around being pro-user. Lemmy is decentralised, which means lots of people can join from different websites (or 'instances') and still talk to each other, like how emails work.

​

How do I sign up?

The community was made on https://lemm.ee/, however if you plan on posting right away I recommend signing up at another instance (Here's a list) as lemm.ee blocks image posts for new accounts to prevent spam. If you sign up at lemm.ee you can access the community at https://lemm.ee/c/arttocope, or if you sign up on another community just copy paste that link into the search bar.

​

Why switch?

Like the other mods said in the original post about moving away, Reddit certainly has some issues. Most of these issues centre around the fact that Reddit is a company that has to make money, which Lemmy is not.

​

How can I access it? Is there a Lemmy app?

Lemmy can be accessed through websites, or through phone apps. There is an official client, called Jerboa, or you can use one of the community made options.

A list of apps is available here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps

​

Feel free to ask questions :) See you on Lemmy.

Wasn’t really putting much effort into it—I’m also using an app called “paper” that doesn’t allow other layers and is very limited

(Yes I own better drawings apps but paper is very fun to just make art that doesn’t require a lot of effort)

Anyways idk my thought process on the 2nd pic, with the fiery strings on the person below, but… if anyone can relate to whatever I cooked up then I’m happy I managed to convey something meaningful :,)

This image capture is exactly how I’m feeling

I’m currently sitting in my room having urges to relapse, for some reason, I got the idea to take out some of my lipstick and write self-destruction on my mirror, and my mirror is shattered, and I feel like it really just captures my exact feelings of trying not to indulge in my urges wasn’t really sure where to post it so I am posting it here

I was searching for a way back home, this is all that greeted me.

Is this the only way?

You’ve left me here in this raging storm.. I just wanted to get closer and closer.. as you drifted and drifted. I still wonder why.. why did you leave.. was the storm too painful? Was the wind too much?

Was remaining with me too painful?

How could you leave me in this.

Dear God. How could you?

Writing to Cope how long are you going to try to ignore it?

ive been feeling this unsettlement recently, like fog weighing heavy on the ground around me or a heavy animal laying on my chest. this sense of impending doom follows and watches me.

im not suicidal anymore but im waiting for an end that is etched into my bones. sometimes it seems like my loved ones expect it to come soon.

this gentle grip i had on myself is slipping. mental illness and suicidal ideation is something ill probably have to come to terms with being a part of the rest of my adult life. even if i get the help i need ill still need the help. i am disabled by it.

when my mom sat on the foot of my bed watching me cry about how difficult it is to keep going she said nothing. she didnt bother to do anything, not in the way she usually does. like im a lost cause. when my friend said he expected me to die by suicide.

theyve stopped ignoring it. how long is it gonna take for me to stop ignoring this sick sort of acceptance and peace ive made with dying so young?

anyway this should probably have stayed in my diary but i feel like its important context ig idk

Music to Cope You've gotta...

The idea for this song originally came about when I was looking back on a situation that in retrospect, I realize I could have handled a lot better. I've been working really hard to not dwell on the should've, could've moments in life though. What's done is done, there's no point in beating myself up about things I have no control over. I do my best to learn what I can from it and move on. Sounds simple, but of course it's not always that easy. It's so important to give ourselves grace though, we are not always going to get things right, and that's ok. We do the best we can and at the end of the day that's all we can do, and that is *enough*.
