Picture is peeg tax.

The subreddit r/guinea pigs has some issues with bots stealing our posts and uploading them to Facebook, so I came here. Doesn’t seem like a super active place but I’ll start posting about my peegs anyway!

Keep up posting, the consistent activity will likely attract subscribers.

I can’t help but not post about my piglets. They are the best. I’d love to see everyone else’s

I am pigless, I like seeing the pictures of them. It makes me feel happy.

Welcome!

Also though content theft is just as possible in the fediverse, I guess its issue is also a positive at this point in time - it's possible someone setting a thief bot doesn't see all contents being posted due to ActivityPub's geometrical propagation. Meanwhile Reddit has all in one place for anyone to harvest.

I do feel like the fediverse is more resistant to content harvesting, with it being decentralized. But the likelihood of them coming here is low I feel like

Your post title made me think of a game I always wanted to try, but had long forgotten about: It Came from the Desert - which I found out from searching apparently had a (suitably "B") movie made about a decade ago based upon it. Your close-up shot seems perfect for a movie poster about a sequel.

Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the fediverse!
