A post from this account popped up in my timeline, obv a photo they stole without crediting the photographer. It had a ridiculous amount likes/reposts. Sure enough they admitted to being predatory photo thieves in their profile. Let’s block these grifters and their kind when we see them - ThreadSky

Report them demanding demonetization. DMCA notices from copyright owners can take action.

In the U.S., anything someone creates is automatically copyrighted. Publication of someone else's creation, including on social media, requires permission from the creator; it's not sufficient to provide credit.

Done and thanks for the heads up.

Here's a couple of 'content scrapers' lists. You can either block them all or pick and choose:

Updated! Thank you for the links! 🙂

flyingcorgi.bsky.social•65 days ago

Can someone please remind me how to use a list for blocking? I'm remembering you have to follow first, and I am reluctant ...

stroejummer.bsky.social•65 days ago

Just click on the link to the list and you'll be given a choice up top to block or unblock. You can also go through the list and pick and choose, but that's a lot of work.

Oh thanks for these, I was about to say that we should be able to make a moderation list.

jakecasephoto.bsky.social•65 days ago

Looks like I’m already subscribed to one of those lists, will add the other one now

Thank you for the info! I just joined bluesky (a whole hour ago?!) and that account was one of the first that popped up for me. They are blocked and reported.

gingerfix.bsky.social•117 days ago

I already had them muted

mountainshots.bsky.social•117 days ago

BTW @worldbestphoto.bsky.social is doing the same thing. Taking people's photos, reposting w/o credit.

mountainshots.bsky.social•117 days ago

A preponderance of this type of stuff is why I have all but given up on IG

100% We have to start standing up I'm convinced.

jakecasephoto.bsky.social•117 days ago

BTW How are you doing, man?

thewildrx.bsky.social•117 days ago

Mostly good, my back has been down since yesterday. Had to go get water & I think the weight did me in. Trying to figure out what I'm doing in general. I think I'm resorting to just posting sunscapes off my cell phone on X & uploading the animals and all the other stuff to all the other platforms.

thewildrx.bsky.social•117 days ago

How are you?

jakecasephoto.bsky.social•117 days ago

When I see it I try to say something.

thirdeyephoto.bsky.social•117 days ago

Reported & blocked. 👍

blathin384.bsky.social•117 days ago

Done! Stuff like that makes me mad 😠

davemeredith.bsky.social•117 days ago

I've just blocked another one. Having been on here for two days I'm seeing so many accounts just stealing other people's work that I'm ready to pull the plug on bluesky.

jakecasephoto.bsky.social•117 days ago

Yeah it is disheartening. I’ll continue to post here but I’m definitely not spending much time browsing the feed here. Threads is still by far my favorite platform

davemeredith.bsky.social•116 days ago

I only really started posting here as a backup in case Threads turns into Instascam but I'm ready to give up scrolling through the feed here.

davemeredith.bsky.social•117 days ago

I automatically block accounts like that.

indieaz.bsky.social•117 days ago

I have been reporting these accounts including this one. I also started a moderation list for AI generated landscapes and stolen photography. Really wish moderation lists could be collaborative.

bitchasaurus.bsky.social•117 days ago

Somehow, they have done it.
They are actually even worse than AI "art". They just repost things for likes
