Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

How to spot a furry artist:

Their humans are drawn much worse than their animals

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

most furries I know are anti-AI

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But can ChatGPT draw furry characters (and/or bird VTubers) that would fit for it with a cloaca?

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 57 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I don't like AI-generated yiff. I want to feel the lust behind every stroke of the pen, the attention to detail necessary to add just the right amount of excessive_cum, and the passion and love in the characters' eyes as they fuck each other silly. Sure, there are artists whose style isn't as "refined" or whatever, but they spend so much time and put so much effort into drawing their naughty little pics, and that alone makes them so much better than AI-generated slob.

Why does that make me feel funny

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago

Doubtful. My life may be a joke, but I'm not funny UnU

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you... but you're allergic to yuri

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nooo, how could this happen? I don't understand, I've always been so careful, how did I catch homophobia?? D:

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

Going by your posts, its probably the drawings of humans, that your body rejects.

Sure, there are artists whose style isn't as "refined" or whatever, but they spend so much time and put so much effort into drawing their naughty little pics,

I’m not even a furry, but have occasionally gone down rabbit holes where I ran into a random artist’s collected works. It’s always interesting seeing how their style developed and refined over time. There are some artists who clearly started out by scanning pencil drawings, then later transitioned to digital. It’s always funny seeing the style have a hiccup when they make the transition, and suddenly have to figure out how to draw in a new medium that they’re not used to. Then they figure it out, and continue refining their style.

But I also work in an art gallery, so maybe I have a habit of looking at things that the average gooner would miss during their three hour long goon session.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, that's one of my favourite things to observe! There are so many artists in my saved searches who I'm excited to see progress over the years, assuming they keep making art.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago

That fucking booru tag underscore got a genuine laugh from me.

[–] vivendi@programming.dev 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It already exists

I will not elaborate

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

For ChatGPT or other AI models? Aware of others but didn't know ChatGPT would do this too.

I will elaborate: Look at Civitai. Now sign in and disable the content filter, refresh the page.

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's everywhere on roleplay sites. I'll never forget the jacked bat lady with three butt cheeks.

now i really wanna see this...

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

ik there was a hentai model, did someone make a furry one lmao

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, there are furry-trained stable diffusion checkpoints available, as well as at least one paid service that offers furry generation as a specific feature.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Likely yes, the hentai model can do some wild things, but not everything (whoever spams the "anal prolapse" tag with poorly generated AI slop on Pixiv: Fuck you!). The furry model would need to be trained to keep animal features consistent too.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

We don't need any more furryGPT, we already have diffusion at home.

All the best researchers went to Anthropic and elsewhere. The difference between proprietary and open weights is meh now. SolarRoofGPT burns the Sol, and tech bro digi slave traders. Long live open weights Chinese AI.

Critical support for proletarianization of r34 furry artists

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i feel peeps will jus keep on investin - or the US gets scared by deepcent n funds the big evil ai company with taxes... cuz of warfare or whatevr - or "ownin the economy" somthn like that-...

They're trying, but i legit don't see how it would make a difference. Their only option is to try and lock down the domestic market by making ai work legally copyrightable by companies. By using US law to give companies the profits using stolen training data, they'd be basically subsidizing the industry. Investors will naturally subsidize the tech since they can now put it into big budget projects without fear of legal issues, and we'd see ai take over Hollywood blockbusters and shows.

Of course, such an approach would further undermine the US in the long run, as our rush to twist ip laws would not be embraced by everyone. Most countries aren't as hyper capitalist about their media, and flooding the market with low quality slop would only make the US entertainment industry more irrelevant globally.

It'd be yet another capitalist grift that destroys the empire, dooming our country to some truly dark times. There's always the possibility that those with power will see the wisdom in reformation, but I really doubt it. Our current generation of politicians are too brainrotted by neoliberalism to every compromise wealth for the sake of anything, including the long term survival of the country. It wouldn't take much to convince most of them to embrace breaking up the nation, which would mean mass death and war. I'm not optimistic that the end of the US would be anything more than a feudal shit show.

Just noting that image gen is done by s different architecture than an LLM, and the environmental impacts are not the same (in particular, much much less energy use than having a human make one image, and substantially less water use than going to the toilet).
