That may seem like a dumb question but is my art safe on the fediverse? Is there a way I can protect it from data scrapers?

@jamesfineart uses an overlay on his art which I am going to start doing as well. It isn't a guarantee that it wont be scraped but it makes it less desirable I guess while getting the image out there.
@VE7WYC @jamesfineart You mean like nightshade? Are those really working? I wanted to try it but I never thought these were actually worth...

@alvenster @jamesfineart
I don't know what nightshade is. Go have a look at what they've done.

@VE7WYC @jamesfineart Oh! That kind of overlay 😅. Guess I'll try that
@alvenster @jamesfineart
Yeah I guess I could have just said to mark it with a copyright but I was jumping ahead to how to do it in Gimp or whatever.
@alvenster @VE7WYC Glaze will protect your style, Nightshade will poison the database for scrapers. Apparently if you use porn terms or swear words in your tags/ descriptions, AI will avoid them, so they say. I do know that AI can read text in images, some choice words in the image overlay might deter scrapes.
