RULES UPDATE: MOLDY POSTING AND AI POSTING

Sorry for two new pinned posts within the span of 24 hours. after coming back I figured some of the rules needed some updating, and it is policy to put any rule change up to vote for the members.

The two changes I currently would like to make, is increased enforcement of the moldy posting rule, and a new rule banning AI generated content.

moldy posting is when you post a meme that you would find on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account. I'm talking properly old, moldy, watermarked, painfully irrelevant posts. I think we should remove them simply because they kind of suck, and removing them would raise the level of quality of 196.

I believe we should ban AI generated content because it is exploitative by nature, and I don't think we should be feeding it.

please discuss in the comments, and vote on whether or not you think these changes should be made. vote on each change separately. if there are any other rule changes that you would like to suggest, now is the time.

I am in favor of both of these changes. I always feel lowkey like ive been tricked when i realize im looking at AI art, and the moldy posts just feel like mud to slog through sometimes.

I'm in favor of the anti AI rule but against the anti moldy posts rule.

Also, could you remove that image from the post, I almost reported the post for "unflagged NSFW" because of it.

Edit: Reported it after an hour for the "unflagged NSFW" maybe that will get their attention on removing the image from the post because there's literally no reason for it to be there.

rockSlayer ,

Agreed on removing the image. I upvoted because I thought it was a regular post and not a rule change

HonkTonkWoman ,

I only visited this post because of the image & now I’m performing cunnilingus on a bowl of Mac & Cheese.

Please remove the image.

It's starting to boil over! Someone put a lid on it!

IDKAYBI hope she smells like Limburger and dirty socks.

Me too

Also agree entirely. The moldy posting is funny because it's not and it deserves to be here.

gormadt I would like to remind you of our NSFW rules. skimpy clothing is not considered NSFW, and neither are breasts. maybe if it was just the woman on the left, it would count as softcore porn, but in the context of my macaroni is a lesbian by Chuck tingle it is obviously more funny than "sexy"

Blocked and reported. Unless you’re drinking chocolate milk with your spaghetti, as Chuck Tingle intended.

Moldyposts were fun ironically, but i'm fine moving past them. I'm also on board with giving toaster generated posts the boot. Also, this comment counts as my post before i leave, see you all next sticky

I'm curious what the discussions regarding what is or isn't considered moldy is going to look like.

Maybe instead of banning mouldy memes, there could be restrictions for when they can be posted. Mouldy Monday or something.

This is good

@eya@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I'm fine with banning both of these.

@Sheeple@lemmy.world avatar

As someone who accidently posted AI generated crap before here without realising it was AI generated:

I'm all for the ban

rockSlayer ,

What if there were like a "moldy Monday" thing instead of an outright ban? I agree with others that they're fun ironically.

Absolutely in favor of banning AI generated content though.

HonkTonkWoman ,

Moldy Mondays & Fermenting Fridays for all!

Xariphon ,

I disagree with the anti-AI bandwagon.

I am indifferent to moldy memes.

don't really care either way about the ai thing but deffo ban moldy posts. we already have !funny or !memes for that kinda stuff

Maxxus ,

I feel like both rules suffer from the same problem of spectrum. We can all point to a bad moldy/ai post and point to a good moldy/ai post. The issue is going to be those ones in the grey space between. It’s like the threshold test for obscenity.

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." -Justice Potter Stewart

I agree ai generation can be exploitative, but I don’t believe it’s only exploitative. I’m sure there are fine artists out there who can use it responsibly to make genuine art. I think it’s like the Unity game engine. There are plenty of games pumped out that are just trash trying to make quick money, but there’s also gems being made by people with passion.

I am painfully unaware if a post might be moldy because I don’t social media much and I like stupid things, so let me know if something I post is moldy and I’ll machete it.

Edit oh and these rules are reasonable I’d say

superduperenigma ,

Totally in favor in banning AI content.

Sometimes moldy content is funny, often times it just doesn't land. Part of my concern with a moldy ban is that it seems a bit vaguely defined as is.

Agreed. One man's mold is another man's psychedelic substance. It's a subjective line that varies for everyone.

AI is easy because the line is clear.
