i’ve been seeing a culture of being against content aggregators in general here (like accounts that post cute animal pics from around the internet with no source), ppl have made blocklists for those, even when they aren’t art stealing… it feels promising, that ppl here expect accounts to be People
tangential: i knew quoting art was fraught on twt bc your qt could steal engagement from OP. sometimes i rly wanted to quote art to share it w/ a comment but held back bc i didn’t know how artist felt.
knowing that artists here can just turn quotes off if they want eases a lot of anxiety for me 😭
You mean reposting as in taking someone’s art and uploading it and posting it themselves right? (Because retweeting here is also called reposting. So it can get confusing haha).
I recommend using the phrasing "re-upload" as repost is just "retweeting" over here and might confuse people
But aside from that: totally agree! We need to unlearn giving scrapers our attention! There are a lot of block lists for scaper accounts so you can block a bunch at once
That's what they mean. Uploading an artist's work especially without credit. I don't support doing it even with credit unless you directly link to the original.
