Do you have a DeviantArt account? You better check it out because yes, they just decided all your stuff there is okay for AI bots to use by default. Sigh.

Don't like it? Two things you've got to do: Fill out this opt-out form (https://cutt.ly/RMsYnhH) and go to _each and every_ image of yours there, Edit it, and check "Not authorized for inclusion in third-party AI datasets"

Or just nuke your DA account once and for all. Your choice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So here's a quick assessment of social media circa November 2022 the way I see it:

Twitter = sinking dumpster fire because of you-know-who 🔥

Instagram = Influencer fashionista hellhole that pretends to be everything for everyone, ending up being neither 💅

Facebook = Boring, geriatric graveyard full of crazy radicalized uncles ⚰️

Tiktok = Digital cocaine, let's not better touch this one 🧨

Masto = Up and coming, with growing pains but definitely on to something. 🐘
