Tiny rant

That feeling when you see an artist tag with only a few pictures and you go check the source to see if there are more drawings, and it’s Twitter (and they don’t use any searchable words)

and then you see they have a dA and so you check there and
4000 submissions (various content)

@Background Pony #DB55
Wait until you find their pixiv and inkbunny with different names, one has sketches and the other has animations, all content is spread out differently in different sites, one has a high res JPGs and the other has a slight lower res PNGs, etc.

’tis often a thankless job, proper ing…

@The Smiling Pony
And then you find another suite of images on Facebook but most of them are in private groups …

The internet was a mistake.

Dear Twitter,

Why is your search so _{^{buysomeapples}}

I can see the tweet. The tweet is not marked with sensitive content.
Why does the tweet not show up in a search for the ’s tweets?

Yours,

I’ll never really understand Twitter or how they work their site but I have noticed a heavy bias, both none political and political against Twitter s & Free-Speech…Especially last year & in late 2020.

My “accidentally” got locked for “suspicious activity” and then suspended in December 2020 for no reason despite it being private to only myself & few friends at the time. I had to appeal & explain the number they were wanting me to “” by was the wrong number (which I recall deleting ages ago from the bc it was a old non-working number) and that I was heavily confused about the random lock and that it was at-random/mistakenly for no reason. It literally costed me to miss all the Christmas YCH’s and giveaways that year…I was so gutted.

I didn’t get my back until January 2021 which Twitter apologised over since the random lock and then followed suspension were “accidental.” Funny thing; I DID NOT even post anything which involved “text” or anything political, only things I had posted was my artworks.

But getting more on subject; Twitter has and always has shadowed tweets, tags & s, especially a lot recently to do with the #PickASideYouTube tag that became “trending” then was took down & shadowed by Twitter for some suspicious reason. They may of shadowed the tweet more then flagged it at-random for “sensitive content” then again Twitter do like to mark the most littlest harmless posts as “Sensitive Content” because of how low & sensitive some people are on there these days.

Ignore me. Just posting this to remove a spam post from the forum index.

Ignore me again. Posting to remove spam from the forum index.

@JP
Well you can’t just do that and not explain how replying to my ol’ random thread does something :P

@Background Pony #DB55
Derpi’s custom-made forum software has a peculiar quirk when it comes to the “last post” column: it continues to show the name of the thread with the last post, even after that post has been deleted. So when a spammer makes a new thread and it gets deleted, the thread will still be visible on the index page (even if it cannot be accessed anymore). I hate that, so I sometimes make dummy posts just to kick the spam thread out. Fast-moving forums, like General Discussion and Generals, don’t suffer from it much, but on a slow-moving forum, like er Discussion, the spam thread could potentially be visible for days, even weeks unless someone else posts something.

Why do I post in your thread then? I don’t know, I just needed some “normal”-looking thread to post in. I’ll try to pick some other thread the next time this happens.

(EDIT: I’m spamming your thread… to get rid of someone else’s spam. I didn’t think about it that way until now.)

“AI prompters sure are flooding the internet ugh”

I really don’t understand.

When the art is good but the artist is a piece of shit, wat do?

@Background Pony #DB55
If it’s bad enough you really can’t see the art without being ed about the artist, best to just filter/block/whatever and save yourself the constant reminder.

@The Smiling Pony
The mini-rant was in of “do I the art to Derpibooru or not”, which is why I wrote it in the “er discussion” forum - so, filtering/blocking isn’t relevant. The “whatever” in this case is answering that question as “nah”, I suppose.

@Background Pony #DB55
If it’s in of ing it, then, yeah, there’s nothing wrong with choosing not to be the one to it, no one requires you to.

@Background Pony #DB55
oh, herp, subbed to too many threads and missed that…

I guess you could on the name to someone else, in case the artist is “obscure” enough to otherwise get skipped :x

DeviantArt recently limited s to only 10 per week(!), good opportunity to drop one mirror site lol

@Background Pony #DB55
Hard to say. I’d probably still unless the artist was pushing hard for genocide or something. I don’t care much if the artist is simply a dick or has evil beliefs but doesn’t really act on them or seriously try to spread them. ing an image with a mini-rant about the artist in description could be against site rules though.
