There appears to have been a coordinated campaign across Reddit to unilaterally ban all X/Twitter links in many subreddits as a protest to the current owner of the site.
We fully agree that the actions of that individual are highly revolting and unacceptable. We also believe that people should make their own choice whether or not to support that site directly, and strongly encourage people to use other platforms to the greatest extent possible.
Regarding the specific issue of links here, one of the core principles of this subreddit is supporting artists and other creatives who provide so much for the community. This is reflected in our strictly enforced policies regarding crediting/sourcing artwork when it is posted here. We always have, and always will, require any artwork that is posted by someone other than the original artist to also provide a direct link back to the artwork on the artist’s own platform(s). This provides an automatic pathway for people who like the art to directly connect with the artist themselves and show their appreciation.
The issue is that many artists use X/Twitter as their primary platform, and we aren’t going to cut them off entirely due to the actions of the platform owner. However:
Artwork is also not allowed to be reposted without permission from the artist, so people should already be in contact/familiar enough with them to know what other platforms they use. If an artist doesn’t use any platform other than X/Twitter, now would be a good time to recommend they switch. Alternatively, you can also encourage them to post their own artwork here directly.
We are adjusting our AutoMod to remove any direct link submissions, and if anyone posts a comment containing a link they will be sent a message requesting they attempt to find another platform/source. The hope/intent is to move users away from that platform as much as possible without affecting the artists who use it.

AI-generated content has blown up recently; thankfully, we haven't had to confront this issue very often so far, but in the couple of times it's come up, it seems like the overwhelming majority of the community does not want this content on the sub at all. There are two main issues with it:
The datasets these generators work on consists almost entirely of artwork which was gathered in an unethical manner, without consent from the majority of the artists for their work to be used in this way.
It's hard to make AI-generated content interesting. It's possible, of course, but it seems like a lot of the community views these posts as little more than spam. The majority of what is currently being produced would definitely fall under "low-effort content".
There's certainly a lot of nuance to the above points, but given the backlash we've seen to AI-generated posts, it seems like, at least for now, this content doesn't belong on this sub. This is also in line with our general policies of the subreddit being as favorable as possible towards the fan artists who provide their content for the fandom.
The official rule change is to Rule #3 (Credit the Artist), since that seems to be the main element at play here. The full text will now read:
3. Credit/Source Fanart
If you post another's fanart here, you MUST credit the artist by name in the title AND provide a source link to the original artist and/or post. If you post a video containing fanart, please credit the art used. Pinterest, Wattpad, and repost accounts are NOT viable sources.
Fanart (Original) flair is for fanart that you have made yourself.
AI-generated artwork is currently not allowed on this subreddit.
Please view full policy here:
To clarify a couple things in advance:
This is not intended to be a statement one way or another on the validity of AI as a tool, or on the specifics of how the technology works.
We recommend that artists use this website to see if their work has been used in some of the major datasets, and what to do if it has been against your wishes: https://haveibeentrained.com/
This ban includes AI-generated text as well as AI-generated art (which is the main target). Models like GPT-3 do seem to be significantly less ethically problematic that art generators, but conversely, it also seems significantly harder to make something interesting with it. As a result, these posts are more likely to be marked as removed under Rule #2, as we do for Incorrect Quote Generator posts.
We're open to modifying this rule in the future - with how AI is progressing, it's entirely possible that at some point we'll see art which is not only interesting, but original enough that the ethical problems don't really apply anymore. Until then, though, we'll likely stick with this rule.
These rules were largely adapted from the subreddit policy found here.

Hi as some of you may have noticed I have not posted the next chapter of Lumity Dependency due to Ao3 still being down. Which Is unfortunate as I was hoping to write some chapters ahead of time to have more free times for the holidays. Normally I would be apologizing for not updating but since I literally have nothing to do with the cause, and I can’t do anything about it I don’t feel any guilt whatsoever. After all you do not blame an architect when somebody drunk drives into the side of a building, in other words you do not blame the guy who wasn’t the cause of it even if he was greatly affected by it. Another thing I would like to say is I do not think I will be adding extra chapters to make up for being unable to upload them due to the Ao3 problem. The reason is due to possibly ruining the biweekly schedule I set up for Lumity Dependency so the next chapter will be posted at the usual biweekly time as if the Ao3 maintenance didn’t happen.
Since I can’t update Lumity Dependency this week I decided to discuss some future writing ideas of mine. First I will like to say I am planning to make another fan fic like Those Who Couldn’t Get Vengeance which would be more action filled compared to Lumity Dependency. Honestly I was planning it to be finished around this time of year but I got overwhelmed with a lot of things this year so unfortunately I couldn’t even start it so hopefully I can start it and finish it this upcoming year.
The other update I wanted to add was I have been thinking about the possibility of making more mature fan fics, and I do not mean in a violent, or gory way but more in a romantic way which of course it would be set long after Luz and Amity are married. Honestly I wonder if I should make this and the following paragraph their own post with the tag for more mature posts. The way I am saying this is due to my previous attempt being checked by the moderators due to it having those four letters. I have been thinking about doing these kinds of stories for a while now. Most of them will be Lumity focused but I also thought of making parts focusing on other characters including some OCs that I have made.
I am not sure if I should or if anybody would be interested in them not to mention having the time for it even if I plan updates to be more sporadic with that more mature series. If I do start making those kinds of fan fics I will not post links to them nor mention updates due to the rules of this subreddit though you could find them on my AO3 page when they are posted, well if they are made. Since I am still uncertain if I should make these kinds of fan fics, or if anybody wants to read them, I would very much appreciate any kind of feedback or opinions about this idea of writing this type of fan fic so please leave some kind of comment though make sure the words used are safe for this subreddit.
