I have a basic etiquette question that I haven't been able to find an answer to. My apology for any redundancy.

As an AI artist, which I know is a bit controversial itself, I do like to share pieces I've created. I've been doing this on instagram (instagram.com/shadowsonawall/ if content would affect the answer) and wonder if sharing here might not be the better long-term option.

The question then: is it rude to use the server's hard drive space for my art? Is there a limit of images that is considered polite/tolerable? Is this a bad idea from the outset?

@shadowsonawall @ceoln

I would be very interested in any answers to this question. I have posted a number of #aiart pieces either to spread good cheer or to illustrate a point about the climate emergency.

@ceeverywhere @ceoln I've learned that will depend on your server's rules. I've received answers about several different servers now (which is awesome, thank you everybody!) so I can take an educated guess about yours.

if the purpose of your art was to trigger a conversation, everybody seems to be good with that. On the other hand, if you are just trying to self-promote, or aren't engaging in any other way, you should definitely check with your server admins - no consensus on that. Sounds like you fall much closer to the former though so I wouldn't worry too much :blobsmile:

@shadowsonawall @ceeverywhere Thanks! I'm pretty much just "haha look at this thing I made!"; but if anyone wants to interact about it in any way, I'm overjoyed to.

I started a PixelFed account, too ( pixelfed.social/ceoln maybe) so I'll play with that also.
