    Oof that sucks. I would hate having to parse through all that just to find non AI owls. Do photographers have sites they post stuff on? That might be a place less susceptible to AI lol. But then you would be restricted to a small set of photographers… Hmm this is indeed tricky. I don’t use flickr or Facebook so I cant really help you out :( if I find some cool stuff I’ll try to post if I get the chance. Maybe I’ll go look at mastodon or something, see if there are photographers there.

      I did see some are getting on Threads. I’m not sure if there’s a way to cross-post from there if they’re defederated, but it would be nice to let them know they’re getting some attention over here. Then we could ask questions or get some more background details and such. I get the reason why many instances didn’t want to participate with them as a platform, but it also cuts us off some from people doing good things there.

        Oh interesting. I haven’t looked at threads either. It would be cool to like idk encourage people to post more on Lemmy or mastodon rather than threads but I get what you’re saying. I just feel a bit iffy about “letting threads in” Also I saw some owl posts on mastodon but very few that seemed to have proper credit

          I’d rather people be here, but Facebook made it easy for everyone already on that platform to be on both, so that is a ton of momentum for Threads. I can’t imagine there is a ton of money in owl photography, so it’s going to be the quickest and easiest way to expand reach.

          I’ll just keep sharing stuff the old fashioned way and giving the credit where it’s due.
