Pulled up the dyslexia font so that nobody is safe.
(just to clarify, I don’t have anything against the community, just the AI)
Although I follow the community, I cringe so hard at the icon and the banner of https://sh.itjust.works/c/games … how hard it would have been to find a real art from a real controller and make a mosaic with real game covers instead of that nonsensical whatever-crap
deleted by creator
Actual what the fuck choice
I don’t like the OP banner much but I do like this one. There’s something really compelling about the abstract take older image models had on video game environments.
The dbzero instance has a lot of that and it’s kind of cringe. Easy to ignore, i guess.
Yeah, even if you’re a fan of AI yourself, read the room.
I don’t understand what you mean by this, in a manner of speaking it’s the mod’s room to decorate
I’m guessing they mean the fediverse in general.
I guess, but in that case then doesn’t it matter that db0 is anarchist and ok with AI?
you can pretty easily be both
You should block the icon too in that case
You AI generated basic shapes? What the fuck
Why not just open submissions in the communities for user created artwork instead of AI?
If anyone wants to organize it, there’s nothing stopping them. Direct Action and so on. I just use what I had readily available.
It wasn’t available, generated images are stolen images.
Tbf, something in a store has to be available before you can steal it, if it is sold out or not yet released it’ll be harder.
And really in this context “theft” is like “piracy is theft,” as much as I also don’t like AI, nobody else was deprived of the banner simply because db0 generated it. Piracy isn’t theft (and the owner of the Pirate instance isn’t likely to be persuaded by that argument at least, even if you disagree…)
And tbf, “well it was trained on actual artist’s work” and so was almost every artist in history, that’s kind of how it works to a degree. The greats separate themselves but a lot of human created art is derivative.
I mean there’s plenty to get mad at AI for, personally I’m not a fan of how people are using it as a brain replacement, how it enables further the ubiquitous spying, how people want it to replace humanity, oh and y’know literal actual murder robots in the form of autonomous loitering drones is probably a bad idea, and coming soon to a town near you. But that said “theft” isn’t super high up on my list, personally.
Though this could arguably fit under brain replacement, but more accurately I’d say it was “talent replacement” which is a little more defendable imo, like everyone should be able to think for the most part, not everyone can draw well. Does it affect how much I can appreciate the art in question? Absolutely. But it’s not necessarily dumbing db0 down just because he can’t draw for shit.
I just use what I had readily available.
- Go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/
- Type “anarchist [symbol|graffiti|protest|parade]”
- Pick “No restrictions” under “License”
Alternative: remove the banner and icon. LGTM that way, offends literally nobody.
Fair enough. I just mentioned it to you specifically because you’re the mod over there and also the admin of the instance.
If that’d become a popular opinion, it can be turned into a vote, and maybe a fun contest for replacements 🤔 Imagine having a vote that is not about drama, harassment, atomization of fediverse but a low-stake negative commentary causing a good change with a side of community-building? I’m not against machine learning, but I am for nice events ;3
Made my own in like 2 minutes. Lines not thick enough, I know, not doing that again tho. There’s no detail but it actually hurts to add detail to a tiny icon.

You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.I’d need a time to make my own versions, like a couple of days, but I won’t go with a straight regeneration of AI image, and my two-three initial design ideas are:
- Go with the harlequin theme, but make the hat on top of the A a rich two-color geometrical pattern like it’s usually depicted, with the main dome and side domes.
- Drop the A, and make it just a harlequin face, although it doesn’t make it anarchism-related, and picking red-black or any other flag color is limiting.
- Drop the A once again to make a red or white circled… B? Since it’s a B-tier or even /b/-tier anarchism-related humor, and most people are in the know to descipher it, why not, lol?
- Or make it F+, for both flip in FlipAnarchy and the unpleasant mark we get for not reading theory.
It looks like garbo compared to the AI generated one tbh.
Note: 2 minutes.
I’ve been here for over 2 years and it still remains unclear to me what the average Lemming stands for, but I sure know what they’re against. It’s just wild to me how much some people seem to build their identity around the things they oppose - that opposition sometimes seems to be the only thing people here have in common with each other.
People are usually “against” things that are opposed to the things they “stand for”, a little logic will tell you what you want to know.
There are lots of types of people with different opinions and backgrounds on Lemmy. However, most of us in the core user base came to Lemmy either because we were pushed out of other online spaces, or left out of protest. This means that Lemmy is tends to have a bit of a bias against big tech, authoritarian governments and corporations, etc. Lemmy is also open source, so there is also a strong do-it-yourself sentiment here. Lemmy also attracts folks who remember Web 1.0 when information was decentralized, with no top-down control. There are still users and whole communities that disagree with the majority of Lemmy users, but you have to look for them because they are in the minority and are thus not raised by the voting-based systems that Lemmy uses.
Remember webrings? I want to bring those back.
It’s not inherently a bad thing to have differing opinions. It’s not always just “fuck {insert company}” that’s common among people; there are DIY communities, software ones, gaming, shitposts…

Want me to validate your feelings. Will it make you feel better?
