The coloring isn’t the same in the link though.

That’s not the same person. Notice how the order of the community bans don’t match up. Joey just wanted to sound like a hero again.

If you had any doxxing power, you wouldn’t be saying that.

Oh. I read those all as different people. My bad.

“Anti-AI troll” appears in more than just those two. That’s shorthand for being concerned with copyright.

The artist doesn’t need to be an artist-for-profit for it to apply. They just need to be someone who can say they spent all day on an art piece. The incentive for that goes away when it amounts to something that other people can enjoy without any boundaries.

When a government blocks a website in a country, they do so by registering the website’s name on a list of websites held by the internet providers. They can do this to any website federated with a certain website they want blocked until they’re all blocked. They have blocked email providers before, if you want a rough model of how this would work.

I counted way more than two communities. That’s often said to mean it’s an instance ban.

In case people missed it (I will assume good faith here), “anti-AI troll” is another way of saying “this person is concerned about copyright”.

Copyright is more than just about the distribution. Copyright laws…

1. Encourage credit to be given, when people often otherwise not give credit
2. Prevent people from making money from something that is given away for free
3. Prevent people from making fake versions of a book, like what happened to the fifth Harry Potter book
4. Through all of this maintain incentive for artists to make art

That was a mod, not an admin. We didn’t do shit.

A mod banned the individual from a dozen communities?

What the hell are you even trying to do, anymore? like genuinely, i have no idea what you’re trying to aim for.

It’s just everyday commentary. I don’t see where the confusion is. Everything I’ve said reflects something that concerns me.

edit: Also fuck copyright.

Using someone’s work without their permission is exploitation. People have to spend time out of their day to make something creative, so coattail riding off of them takes away the incentive to make the art, which interferes with the artistic process. The ancient Romans even knew enough to have a concept of copyright. In the very least, people should be giving credit to the artists, as you would when you are gifted something.

I’ve never had any of the names described above.

The law can take down the fediverse. Well, suit yourself then.

Also not sure how one can do apologia without believing in what they’re saying.

By unblocking them.

Even if the person changes?

An honest question is an honest question no matter how stupid it might sound.

It’s not concern trolling simply to ask. I was asking based on the fact they mentioned rushing through the process as they were short on time.

She probably sees the number of fediverse participants that banned her as a drop in the bucket (not that it isn’t, the fediverse is huge) and takes advantage of the fact that the communities that are supposed to have banned her are technically still functional to her. She made a vent way back where she said it couldn’t have been a true ban due to this and because the TOS was never violated.

The lawsuit though is (supposedly) by a different person who says the two of them maintain the motives for the bans to be false. The upvotes in Karmacourt (which is otherwise mostly a dead community) signify they don’t put it past the fediverse.
