Looks like Bluesky is using a third party AI company ‘thehive .ai’ to identify post content for moderation — any data collected, Hive can provide to its other customers, to train generative AI models — so if you post your work there, it is being directly fed into training generative AI image/video/text 👎

UPDATE — Bluesky team member has made this statement about their use of Hive:

I got a new reference sheet set up for my fursona Nova! Her previous one is actually over 6 years old at this point and doesn't really look like how anyone draws her anymore, so this is long overdue.

I'm not 100% set on the way I'm presenting the notes on the side but I think this is definitely effective for now.

I decided to move Itheel to the Paradoxverse as one of the founding members of The Paradox Society
But before that, she was the half dragon daughter of a faerie queen! Her mother cast a glamour spell over her to look full faerie so as to not be outcast for being half dragon (but Itheel's brutal honesty & disdain for politics still made the nobles dislike her)

Do you hand-make things that you sell? Do you wish Etsy would *disintegrate* for jacking up fees 30% after a record sales year?

Artisans Coop is on its way to becoming a very real Etsy alternative, a place for handmade goods that is owned by its members, that can put all that "record sales" into the pockets of sellers, not white collar thugs. And i do mean artisans, not assholes who steal designs and get them printed at a sweatshop.

How is that possible? Check it out: https://artisans.coop/blog/join-an-authentic-handmade-marketplace-now-enrolling-members/

Seriously Consider Copying That Floppy

Considering what's going on * just off-screen* with social media giants, a re-#introduction and #welcome seems in order!
I do a lot of digital art that's mostly sweet and sometimes a little spicy, including an in-progress webcomic, Terraform, and other comic ideas I'm workshopping.

I've found nothing but kindness, thoughtful discussion, and wonderful people on mastodon.art and on Mastodon in general, and I know you will, too.

EDIT: NO MORE SUBMISSIONS.
This was too ambitious of a level of detail for free artwork, and as such only were able to do a limited amount. I'm so sorry ;_;. I still love doing free art but I should always keep scope in mind with limits.

I wanted to do a batch of free art of characters! Don't have to follow or that crap, I just want to build out this style format, and the best way to do that is with characters I haven't created.

first post! hello! #PixelArt

Welcome to all the new folks! Mastodon is a lot like Twitter, but there are two etiquette things I'd like to remind everyone of.

1. Add alt text to your images so people know what they're looking at! Click where it says "No description added" and you can describe the image to everyone.

2. Use hashtags! You can follow a hashtag in the same way you'd follow an account, so it's great for helping people find your work. Bonus points if you CamelCase the tags.
