About Us ⚠️WARNING!: REDDIT SELLS YOUR ART TO AI ⚠️

153 Upvotes

Before posting on Reddit, you need to know that ⚠️Reddit will now sell your content⚠️ (images, video, text, chats) for training "AI" models. This is part of Reddit's contract, in an attempt to make $$$.

Reddit user content being sold to AI company in $60M/year deal - 9to5Mac

Please keep this in mind before sharing your personal art on this site! This is in addition to Reddit's poor history of protecting minorities including teens, mentally ill, and LGBT users across the site.

"I don't think we should support Reddit. And I don't think Reddit supports us."

*We have stripped back some of the subreddit styles like banner, background, logo and community galleries to protect those users' assets.

Meta We have a Lemmy community!

15 Upvotes

TL;DR, Access the new community here: https://lemm.ee/c/arttocope

Eight months ago this was posted about moving off of Reddit. As far as I am aware nothing major happened since then.

A few days ago now I contacted u/TranZeitgeist about making a Lemmy community (communities are the Lemmy equivalent of Subreddits). Now I have moderator, and I'm telling you about this.

​

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a Reddit alternative that is based around being pro-user. Lemmy is decentralised, which means lots of people can join from different websites (or 'instances') and still talk to each other, like how emails work.

​

How do I sign up?

The community was made on https://lemm.ee/, however if you plan on posting right away I recommend signing up at another instance (Here's a list) as lemm.ee blocks image posts for new accounts to prevent spam. If you sign up at lemm.ee you can access the community at https://lemm.ee/c/arttocope, or if you sign up on another community just copy paste that link into the search bar.

​

Why switch?

Like the other mods said in the original post about moving away, Reddit certainly has some issues. Most of these issues centre around the fact that Reddit is a company that has to make money, which Lemmy is not.

​

How can I access it? Is there a Lemmy app?

Lemmy can be accessed through websites, or through phone apps. There is an official client, called Jerboa, or you can use one of the community made options.

A list of apps is available here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps

​

Feel free to ask questions :) See you on Lemmy.

4 of them are wisdom teeth, but 11 teeth is still a lot.

But yeah, if i had better self care, none of this'd happen

Ever get afraid to talk to people but you feel like it could make things worse or you don't know if you'll be able to help, but you know you should do something, but maybe not.

Self Loathing chain connected to the head of a long hair boy with blue hair and he is pulling it himself and that's the only thing making him feel stuck but it still "metaphorically hurts.

Art to Cope I miss my best friend. She’s still here yet so far away.

Post image

I’ve never been in big friend groups, sure they come and go, but the only anchor that stayed true by my side was my best friend. We’ve been friends for 10+ years (not giving away the number bc that would reveal my age). And we were absolutely inseparable, until we stopped going together to elementary school (bc then you are practically ‘forced’ to meet the same ppl day after day).

She’s the person I’d be laughing too loud in class with and everyone would hate us for it. She’s the person I ate lunch with. The person I told everything about so much so that our stories had begun to repeat because of how much we’ve shared. We’ve shared everything. Grew up together.

But ever since we stopped going to elementary and went on our own path in jr. high school we weren’t as close. We lived together in a dormitory for a year, but stopped after because I had issues with alcohol and therefor my parents didn’t allow me to go to the dorm anymore.

I think that was the crack in our friendship. I put her through the mess of me being drunk on weekdays, so much so she fled to her grandparents house to sleep there instead. I have now apologised for my actions and owned up to them (aka not a single “I’m sorry but..”)

But there’s something not right.

We met at her birthday party hosted with another friend of hers and a lot of her friends she had made from her school came too, along with ppl from our town too that we knew. I had fun, but I saw people all grouping together. No one was coming up to me. I was the one coming to them. And I’m not blaming them—hell everyone at the party has their own group the naturally levitate to. I know that.

But it made me realise that I don’t belong to a group anymore. Even my 2 other friends who I’m very close with just naturally kept together because they were friends before I came so naturally they are each others go to person. Ykwim?

Even my best friend instead focused on her other friends—and I totally get it, it’s a party, you’re trying to include everyone. I get it.

The rest of the night I took care of another friend who was so drunk she could barely stand on her feet. I was making sure she didn’t like on herself, making sure she was hydrated and even put her in a bed to sleep in (along with help from 2-3 people I knew and were great). The rest kept partying downstairs and having fun games.

I’m not mad at them for that. I’m also not mad at having to take care of my friend that got this drunk, because I have been that person. So why would I be mad? The least I can do to pay my kindness forward is to make sure that, the person who is that drunk, is taken care of. It’s the least I can do after what I have put my friends through.

Thanks for reading and stopping by, and if you made it this far I’m shocked but thankful lol, maybe anyone else relates? Idk. I’m just lost because I have tried to mend things between me and her and yet I still feel like we’re not as close as before.

Released last year, I made this EP during a time of mourning. Struggling with the sudden death of a loved one, I made this music to help me through. It explores the themes of loss, dreams and the 5 stages of grief. I appreciate any feedback.
