Uh oh, another guest enters the dreambubbles 🫣
IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE!!! OR JUST GIVE ADVICE/HELP WITH THE SITUATION!
hello! My name is Brun. I am an artist, honestly: a Russian-speaking artist.
And at the moment I am observing such a problem, I will start from afar:
At the moment, one of the most popular social networks in the CIS countries is Telegram, which has popular groups on various topics, nothing unusual! People communicate, post their own and OTHER PEOPLE's ART, with CREDITS and LINKS TO THE AUTHORS, which is usually the norm that people follow, admins monitor this and look for art for the Daily (a.k.a. daily posts), but there are a couple of incidents that I want to warn you about.:
there is such a group as HOMESTUCK HOROSCOPES, the audience there is not small as you can see in the screenshots below.
and they themselves say that they take these artworks from their other groups in Telegram and don't even look at the author to credit them, because IT'S SO HAAAAARD🥺🥺🥺🥺 AND IT TAKES.... TIME!!!!!! My god, it's soooo hard, right?
and most importantly, CIS artists can at least still be outraged, check and see, say that their authorship should be indicated, BUT ARTISTS FROM TUMBLR / ENGLISH-SPEAKING PLATFORMS CAN NOT! you literally don't even have a way to find out about it, so, FACTUALLY they take advantage of you being unaware about the situation and steal other people's work without any consequences, ALSO including from CIS artists.
and there are many such groups and admins! and then the audience also SUPPORTS the admins by saying, "haha sigma, got them! Serves them right, and besides, it's just a Horoscope Confession! These people (who are outraged that their art is literally being stolen) are such wimps! 🙄"
so in fact, anyone who is against the admin's position will just be swept under the rug like dust, and, poof! it's your fault for pointing out the laziness of the admin, because IT'S SO DIFFICULT FOR THEM, WHY ARE YOU ALL SO DEMANDING!
+More screenshots and another group with the same topic.
I and at least ONE (possibly two) other people tried to shed some light on this situation, but in the end only received condemnation, so I want to at the very least warn YOU that you would always leave your nickname or a BIG watermark on even your smallest sketches in a place where it would be most difficult to erase, and if you can't to help - at least protect yourself and your creations.

she made fun of him for approximately half a second longer than he was willing to tolerate and he blocked her on trollian for 2 days
As funny as it is to see musk's own ai not complying with his bullshit about "white genocide" in South Africa i think it should turn your stomach to know that while so many people are jumping on the bandwagon to see it in action it is coming at the cost of polluting the air for a majority Black neighborhood and making it increasingly difficult for the people living there to breathe
This girl is an actual hero and we need to donate to her defense fund please
