#PSA: to newcomers!

Some of you might be tempted to #crosspost between 🐦 and 🐘. As a general rule of thumb, crossposting is frowned upon.

🐦 ➡️ 🐘: try not to do this, but if you really want to, avoid RTs & limit to personal tweets. Set post visibility on 🐘 as "unlisted", so the local timeline is less noisy.
🐘 ➡️ 🐦: usually fine, but don't crosspost replies or boosts, respect privacy of others.

Welcome again & hope you are here to stay.

#FediTip for #NewHere

I have a plugin that autoblocks anyone with an NFT profile picture and going into the replies of an elon musk post made it go off like a shitty ape scam themed nuke

"Sorry I didn't answer, I temporarily forgot you existed"

- me to people I love very much that are really important to me

3. Anarchists believe that the autonomy of the individual and their ability to grasp their own actualization is a positive force. This does not imply a naive form of individualism; the point is that anarchists must believe that people are capable of directing their own lives. Anarchists must believe that not only are people capable of deciding how to live without a paternalistic force overhead, but that they are happier and society better when they are free to do so.

2. Anarchism opposes authority and government, the state of affairs (a subtype of the first) where people are told what they can and cannot do, how they can and cannot live, and in general controlled and limited and policed. Anarchists view government and authority as fundamentally oppressive, because it necessarily rests on hierarchy and domination, which in turn rests on violence, and also because it prevents the operation of justice as defined in the previous point.

1. Anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchy and domination. That is, all situations in which there is an imbalance in power, such that one person's needs and desires are subordinated or treated as less than equally important to someone else's. Justice is not the application of a rigid set of laws, but the resolution of conflicts in a way that treats everyone's interests as equal, arrived at through direct reconciliation between those in conflict by reasoning together.

#accessibility questions!

1 - Are painting softwares (especially CSP and Krita) able to add alt descriptions into a, say, jpg of your art? Similarly to author data?

2 - Would websites (Twitter tumblr Mastodon Artstation etc) understand and automatically process this description metadata as an alt description?

I want to write the alt desc. into my saved artworks so I don't need to rewrite or copy/paste it as I post. Does this make sense?

#mastoart #clipstudiopaint #artist

also why the fuck are people recommending *snapchat* for private dms instead.... you do realize the deletion is purely cosmetic and the platform has full access to everything

In a way, I kinda like you don’t see the fave numbers when randomly scrolling. Feels so much less “who got the most likes” type of popular contest like this.
Letting the art speak for themselves.

I also like how much more easier it is to discover new artist in here simply by looking into the local timeline.

Recurring theme I'm seeing from .art users who have been here for a few days - sometimes just one day - returning to birdsite and just not being able to stomach it, finding themselves more acutely aware of how toxic the environment is after spending a day in our little nook's coziness.

Is there a hashtag for stuff like donating your own grown food to the community? (Seen @tuatarara just posting about this and want to check the relevant communities can find the post :D)

Looking for a speaker/charity that does intro to LGBTQIA+ talks, focused on trans rights. Got moolah. Does anyone have suggestions?
