I was looking around, and realised we don't have a single functioning equivalent to r/PhotoshopBattles. On a quick search:

We should revive the lemm.ee instance, but imo there is merit to starting afresh with a name that isn't tied to a proprietary closed-source piece of software, like image edits or editbattles

If there's anyone who's interested, please take it up. I don't mind being a mod, but I can't be the main (let's be real, sole) contributor right now. I've got my hands full with !fakealbumcover@lemm.ee, and that's just putting text on images, not even close to realistic edits like this demands.

but I worry people aren't as motivated to try it when they can generate it?

photoshopbattles are going on as we speak, the sub, 20 million strong. who cares about unmotivated slop slingers?
psbattles could be a good name--subtitled like photo s___? battles to avoid the proprietary [I use GIMP anyway]

I think that would still invoke photoshop, just going with something more generic would be the better option long-term using the op rationale.
