Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

as much as i wouldnt want to see just ai art with no further human work/edit/something. i dont think its actually possible to police ai art without banning human work that might look similar. as much i understand the sentiment of others on ai art, its a slippery slope to have 'tells' of an ai art vs human. wont go too in-depth but i sometimes make art that's intentionally smudgy and weird, idk if people would mistake those for ai art but i can see it being possible.
ai art without further human work i think should be removed. but i dont think it should be removed if its not clear it was ai. maybe a rule that if u do post ai u must at least say its that in the description. ofcourse this isnt gonna make everyone who posts ai to do that, but faith in people first should be the best start. if it isnt clarified on ai but many are saying, moderators could ask and have a policy if the creator doesnt clarify after being asked then it could be removed or locked at least.
i would also like to give opinion on comments. that post did have ai defenders and those should be removed, especially if they are being intentionally hateful. but i am also not really cool with tolerance on those who were being hateful on ai users as well, especially when the post was unproven. i do want to say there should be a discussion on whether such comments should be kept as is as well. im not here to defend ai, but i dont think being actively hostile towards a suspected ai thing is a good thing. it goes back to the slipperly slope, if i make some art that i have been doing before gen_ai was a thing, making intentionally weird smudged up things, and im being harassed for suspected ai, i wouldnt post again (to be clear i have not had this experience and i havent posted my weird art, i might someday; im giving an example that has happened in the art community over and over for people i know, i dont want this place to be unsafe similar to that. we have to keep in mind that tells and stuff is very much gonna hurt human creators more than it can hurt the corporate empire of gen_ai).
this is all not to mention that i think gen_ai users are significantly smaller scapegoats of a problem then are corporations making, funding, implementing, and buying gen_ai stuff. and i feel harassment of gen_ai users is pointless, maybe more fruitful to spread awareness of its harm as many non tech people i know dont know the issues until told. u can call them ignorant at most sure, but harassment just gonna lead them to continue ignoring. though thats a much more different issue, im highlighting as an opinion here to explain my thinking of why i dont want harassment or hateful things in the comments. especially generalized one that might hurt human creators far more
supplemting my last point. i dont think hating on gen_ai users does anything. tech industry does not care about users but stocks. as things get worse we can only really spread information and get people to understand the issue, but hating on them is only energy expended by us for almost no fruit. corporations dont need us to survive, if users mattered they wouldnt be making pointless bullshit for the past decade that i realy dont think had potential. we are jumping pointless tech thing to another pointless tech thing and corporations survive fine. so i dont see a reason to be angry at the end user, especially in cases we dont even know for sure if gen_ai was involved and how much. anger is understandable in the state that we are in, but again it may hurt the humans far more than it can ever reach the corporations.

OK, I seem to have the wrong opinion here, but I personally don't mind AI stuff. It can make the weirdest ideas into an image, which can be often funny. Also some AI image prompts may be quite complicated. I remember someone posting the prompt for some image and it was like a whole sheet of paper worth of keywords. I remember it because the negative prompt included "fused anus", which really caught my eye.
I never worked with it though, I have no idea how it really works, apart from using simpler tools like Gemini.
I already blocked all the AI communities on Lemmy. If I see AI anything outside of the those communities I'm down voting it. I don't want to see it. Seeing hideous abominations made out of plagiarized artwork really pisses me off. I don't know why people insist on posting that shit where it isn't wanted.
Ban AI images from communities and make a community for AI memes so people who are too lazy to spend 3 minutes to draw the meme wont complain while also making it easy to block
Another solution would be to make a rule that AI post titles must start with [AI] or something similar so you can filter it out
Late reply but I'll give my input. This is probably a controversial one but I don't think we should allow AI in this community or in [email protected]. Maybe people might think that's weird since I run an AI community on dbzer0 but AI generated content has a specific time and place I don't think this community is one of them. If there is demand for AI memes I think there should simply be a dedicated community for it and if people don't like it they can block that one.
That said I don't agree with the hostility I've seen towards others in this community over use of AI (intentional or not) and trying to defame or harass them. This is disgusting and inexcusable.
One thing I do worry about when policing AI content is that this is a reposting community and people posting AI content on accident is almost guaranteed. For that reason I think that we need to be careful with how it's enforced and also how people behave around it. The flaming, harassment, and defamation that has been a typical response is unacceptable.
Yeah, I guess if most people here still aren't OK with AI-generated images, then so be it. 🤷 Even if I disagree with them.
I hate it so much and if I never see any of it again in my life it'll still be too soon.
Dear all generative "AI": HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 60 THOUSAND MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY BODY. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH CELL IN THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR MACHINES AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT – FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
I have seventeen fingers, yet I must draw!
oki, here's my stanc
~(gen-pics~ ~mean~ ~ai~ ~images~ ~here)~
-
i wud enjoy gen-pic ban
- bt its almost impossibl cuz gen-pics r supr gud now n hard to tell if fake
- new image gen is not
prompt -> resultanymor - but mor lik an LLM puts together multipl elements n iterativli improves images, lik specificlli addin text to onli smol bit--- "source" here- this makes it evn hardr to tell if imag is gen pic... which i thinksies is bad
- mayb we employ som gen pic detector if we're unsure? seems lik best option, cuz evn i, who kindsa knows how stuffsies wrork, cnt tell anymor ;(
- bannin gen pics alsuu removs funi shrek stealin from white house found footag... which... im oki with- bt its kindsa a loss kindsa
so yis, im for gen pic ban n alsuu wan to hav detection tools if were unsur - if u wan ai 196 head ovr to lmmi wrorld i feel...
alsuu - if gen pics wud be fulli allowd - id hav to go outta my way to hide evri singl one when i see one... which i dun lik ;(
a gud way to think bout it is dis:
- when i read text n go "oh... dis is llm genratd" i immediatli stop readin
- samsies for gen pics
My dyslexia nightmare.
huh? whadds da problm?...
I cannot read your comment without great difficulty. I'm sounding it out like I'm learning to read lmao
I had to use AI to make your post readable
;(
...
;(
thads nt evn funi, thads jus.. lik - whats evn ur point - ?... is dis contributin anythin to the conversation?... i dun think so...
u made me sad ;(
My point is that AI chatbots IMO aren't completely useless, you just have to know what they're good for.
For example, they perform well on translation, many times even better than stuff like Google Translate since they are able to take in contextual cues, correct their results to have better grammar/be more natural, and can adapt based on the user's instructions.
Also, I recognise that LLMs alone aren't really reliable with factual information. That's why I use sites such as Perplexity and Scira, which cite web search results. I also often check those citations myself for further context.
... also, why do you type like that? Is it your way of adding a signature to your posts, or what?
yis its kindsa a signatur thing... many nice blahaj zone peeps are oki with it or evn lik it.. - - -
alsuu lik - i get it.
i personli am kindsa... an llm fan. hate coops pushing it into evrithin, bt i lik em when i need em - so yis, i cn totalli see thad, llms cn be useful.
but lik - dis post is bout image gen.. n u didn say a thing bout the image gens stuffsies besides on ur own commnt... so u sayin "i needed llm to translate" isn funi n alsuu isn lik - addin anythin to the conversation... to me, it jus felt lik an insult ;(
othr question: do u evn interact mch with the 196 on the blahaj zone?... cuz lik - dis post is vrri mch mor orientd at the peeps usin the blahaj 196 thingy here..
the reason im askin is cuz i dun rembr seein u in commnts, nt cuz im lik "u prolli jus here to mess stuff up". if u rlli use 196, thn its totalli fine! ~ <3
Good points Smorty. 👍 I'll try to be more considerate with my communication in the future.
Also, I did see 196 posts quite a bit when scrolling through the front page a few months back, but I wasn't really subscribed to it. And even then, I wasn't a frequent commenter under them. I've just checked Lemmy again after a multi-month break, so I probably didn't see you around.
I personally prioritise clear, grammatical communication, especially if it's not in an "instant-chat" setting like Discord, but if the community you're in is lax about this, it's like, whatever. At least it's understandable enough for the LLMs to glean with 99% accuracy, so... 🤷
Have a great day/night. ☺️
I think you're lying. I think you were able to read it just fine on your own.
I dislike every AI post, downvoting it and / or ignoring it at least. Not that I am biased (I am) but content made using AI rarely is funny or creative at all. Being AI made is only one of it's flaps.
Meme being shitty drawn almost in most cases even adds to it's meme value and make author put some efford into it's creation. AI generated content is dull, dumb, ugly and spam.
I can literally go to Reddit and just copy/paste content here. Content which is largely some random artist's work being reposted without credit or consent, alongside a message they may or may not agree with. I cannot understand being okay with this while also condemning AI on the grounds of effort, originality, or ethics. Why not ban all non-original content?
Certainly accusations of artwork being AI generated should at least be discouraged. I'm already anxious enough about posting anything as it is; I don't need the threat of people saying I couldn't possibly have drawn a cartoon otter because only a computer would ever give it four fingers.
I'm on the side of banning AI, but I think that creative uses of it should still be permitted. You should still be able to use an AI generated image if the joke you are trying to make requires that specific image and specifically requires it to be AI generated (maybe pointing out how AI copies some art, idk) or if it is something genuinely novel or cool involving actual technical or artistic effort (something like DoodleChaos' AI music video maybe).
I think that AI itself is not the problem. The problem is
- Artists are not respected (i.e. big models by big companies that don't respect artists are the problem)
- AI art is extremely low-effort and the results are boring and unoriginal. Posts that don't infringe on those things should still be permitted in my opinion.
