Anything Surreal and Abstract
A place for surrealist and abstract content. Art, Memes, Data-moshing, optical illusions, liminal spaces, weirdly comfy stuff and anything else you think at least loosely fits this description goes.
Appreciation of art is always subjective. Your opinion is just as valid as the one of a professional critic. Remember, we are here to have fun and be entertained. Don't let anyone talk you out of your enjoyment for anything.
Flashing / strobing lights warning: Not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
Rules
✏️ If you know the artist, please credit them (memes are fine without it, as it can be difficult to find OOP)
🔞 Tag NSFW (no porn, please. Non-sexual nudity is fine)
🫂 Be respectful of others
🗣️ Self promotion is not only allowed, but encouraged. I would love to see your original content
🗳️ No politics (light-hearted jokes are fine)
👍 When in doubt, just post. Unless you are deliberately trying, I most likely won't remove your post

Love it. No complaints although I agree about with the attribution discussions that seem understood and agreed now.
As for preferences: the only posts I don’t like (on any community/platform) are extremely fast moving posts like the recent bagel one. I suspect I’m susceptible to strobe effects.
Thank you for bringing something very new and exciting to the platform!
Thank you, I appreciate it. I am still not sure about what to do with posts that may trigger especially photosensitive people. Marking NSFW just blurs them for some people and also hides them completely for others. Maybe I will put them behind a spoiler inside a text post, but I am not sure yet, as most will just scroll past it. If anyone has a better idea please let me know.
I appreciate the dilemma. It doesn’t sound like there is a good solution, from what you’re saying. My client (m.lemmy.world) might have an option to disable animations too, actually.
Edit: it does, but then none of the animations will play. If I choose to make playback “opt in” I still have no way of knowing which animations will turn out to be problematic for me. Hmm….
