I need to add to this that blocking is not the answer. Actively down vote if your instance allows. The practices discussed here passively harm artists.

    I mean he always credits in the description. Not sure why this is the main focus of Lemmy

      The issue was laid out in the comic I made. These images will be shared without credit; there is no way around that. By deliberately removing credit, it will remove the credit/attribution potentially many thousands of times in the long run.

    Blocking them isn’t enough, because the harm they do with the plagiarism goes beyond stinking up your personal feed. This kind of stuff proliferates. People save the image to post somewhere else, and so on. Annoyingly, plagiarism doesn’t seem to be against the rules in this comminity, but I really think it should be.

    Given how they lean into it and how they act in this thread and others calling him out, they’re doing it on purpose. To piss people off. As in they are a full on troll and need to be banished back under their bridge, across all instances that give a shit.

      That’s why I made this shitty comic. People need to not block, but heavily down vote this behavior. I will die on this hill. I’m not going to look, but it is at least hundreds of posts that this fuck makes with the intent of hurting artists.

      The whole “don’t feed the troll” thing needs to be inversely applied here. Downvote all of it. Period. For every post that this idiot troll makes, there is at least 1 person that doesn’t see or care what’s going on and they’ll download the image without attribution, share it, and the problem continues.

    I’ve been thinking, how come I see multiple people bring them up and I haven’t seen their posts myself? Turns out I’ve already blocked them at some point in the past

      That’s why I tag instead of block. Then I get to play a little game and see if I can guess which moron it is before I see the tag. Let’s see now… is this one “AI bootlicker,” “Horndog trying too hard,” “Breathing app shill,” “Is ‘nonce’ the right word,” or “absolute fucking moron?” Oh wait, it’s “credit cropping little bitch.”

        Quite frankly, I don’t care why I did it. I block people to preserve my mental health, whenever I notice that seeing someone’s replies is getting on my nerves. If that makes my Lemmy experience an echo chamber, so be it. I’d rather be stuck in my ways than have my mood ruined by words of a stranger I’ve never seen and will never meet.

          Since I adopted the mantra of ‘block early and often’ things have been much better and nothing of value has been lost.

          No, this is not politics, you are not building an echo chamber. This is about respect, and people can respectfully disagree and I won’t block them, but there’s no reason anyone should have to put up with disrespectful users. I also blocked that one user that censored every swear word in shitposts. Fuck that person too. They both shouldn’t modify people’s works without permission.

        It would be cool if we had a web of trust. So if everyone you’ve been upvoting keeps downvoting someone, then that someone’s posts are hidden by default.

        Example:

        post hidden due to poor reputation

        Here’s a long rambling story that looks like it might be interesting…

        … and that’s why we should expand child labor.

        I rarely block, but I tag with Voyager. That way I’m not missing any conversation, I’ll see a warning for comments likely to be disingenuous, and they don’t live rent-free in my head.

    And then it hit me. You know why b__p is cropping signatures and remaking comics with AI?

    It’s not because of some misaligned anti advertisement agenda.

    It’s because they can’t produce anything themselves but want to give the illusion by stealing other people’s stuff and desperately trying to funnel all credit to themselves as the provider of funsies.

    That is some pathetic bottom feeder behaviour. Defeatist about themselves to even try do something of their own and submitting to theft for validation.

    Not only that, but also, how am I supposed to find the artist’s other comics or the follow up if it’s a series? Reverse search? It’s incredibly stupid.

      That’s the neat part, you don’t.

      In seriousness look RSS link parameters. You might be able to figure something out with the help of your favorite LLM.

      Another solution is to filter author field by name(client or URL) .

      Anyway, I didn’t look at the actual URL to figure something for you. But I hope you figure it out.

      Edit: I believe actually that RSS feed parameters are only supported by handful of CMS only.

    I don’t know who that is, but if I could verify/clarify by looking at their post history, I’d probably block them if what you say is true… ohhhhh hey, looks like the dipshit himself commented on this very post like an edgelord and is conveniently the most downvoted comment.

    Joke with a message aside, I noticed I already had downvoted the guy multiple times before. Looks like he likes to post ai slop as well and becomes a combative baby bitch when called out. Even better, some of the ai slop uses the “hUmAn BaD” trope. And I did indeed check up on and confirm the cropping out artist credit. He’s a combative baby bitch when called out on that, too.

      he likes to post ai slop

      That’s an understatement. When Beep doesn’t crop out the artist, they literally recreate a worse version of the comic using AI and post that. Yeah…
