    Lemmy has been a cesspool of uncited posts since its inception, what makes you think it’s gonna change now just cuz some clown keeps snipping off artist/creator names on memes and comics.

    I go to a channel for anime art and I open a post and the “source” is fucking Xcancel or Danbooru, an image board, both of which have fuck-all to do with* actually supporting* the artist. Thankfully, I know how to navigate that site to find the actual source, or at the very least the artist’s socials. But the average user likely doesn’t.

    I do hope that changes, but it’s kinda too late in the game to start calling it out, when most of the stuff on Lemmy is already uncredited.

      Why would it be too late?

      If the state of things really are that bad, doesn’t it make sense to try to correct things? The best time to start correcting is certainly in the past… But the next best time to start correcting is now.

        Maybe they’re from the US, where we’ve been conditioned to think, “Well that sucks, but there’s nothing we can do about it.” Which is part of why things are the way they are now. Our society has worked so hard to disempower us, that many of us fail to recognize that there are things we can improve.
