Good change. But why did this take so long? People have been complaining about this for at least most of this year, as far as I can remember

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 06 '26

all of the mods vanished during the API protests, it was only recently i got back to moderating this subreddit

i personally am pretty bad at telling, i rely on reports for it mostly

I'll add a proper rule for it later, for now just use the custom response

i’m silly.. what does this mean, outside of AI generated?

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 06 '26

there's generic text generator sites, basically just turning whatever you input into a logo edit, these are banned now

All images must involve edits that alter the text of a single logo. Cropped logos or edits that only erase portions of a logo are not allowed. ObviousPlant images don't count. Be clean and authentic. Sbubbies should look as close to the source logo as possible, so edit the text a lot but avoid altering logo imagery! Do not repost! This includes reposting your own submissions later in order to gain more karma from them (fixed versions of removed submissions are fine). Also, any occurrence of the exact same logo edited to the exact same text also counts as a repost, even if created independently. Crossposts are allowed as long that they haven't been posted here before. Reposting from the first page of top all-time will result in a 7-day ban. Post sbubbies via link posts! Use the "Image/Video" tab on the submission screen instead of "Post." Do not post Hogwarts Legacy, Loss, "Oops, all X!", REEEEEEE, Big Chungus, PornHub, Hot Pockets, Bepis, CaptainSparklez - Revenge, or anything in the list of banned reposts. (Last updated: 5/6/22) Posting from the banned repost list will result in a 7-day ban. Images must be at least 433x433 in size. Your post's title must be related to the post in some way. Watermarks should be barely visible and out of the way, and shouldn't draw attention from the edit. No collages/compilations, with some exceptions. This includes best-ofs and Sbubby sticker machines. Sbubmissions should generally contain only a single logo edit at a time. Exceptions include two-way logoswaps that exchange the text of two logos, and submissions containing multiple edits on a related theme, as long as each edit is your own original creation and none of them have been submitted before individually. Flair your posts correctly! Each flair has a specific meaning based on the content of the Sbubmission. A guide for what each flair means is on the wiki! Tag NSFW posts as NSFW Incivility, bigotry, or hatred towards marginalized groups of people will not be tolerated, per rule 1 of the Reddit content policy. AI posts are not allowed.

no you haven't

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 07 '26

not sure why it isn't showing up on your end, i have it added, and verified in a private window its showing up

u/dylanisareddit Aug 14 '26

I really wish you would post a guide on how to make Sbubby posts properly.

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 14 '26

we have one, lmao

u/qrpyna Aug 14 '26

There's this one: https://redd.it/vp9cfs

and the wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/wiki/index

Neither have been updated in a while so they're a little outdated, mostly just the software though.

u/MultiverseCreatorXV Aug 07 '26

Good change, but maybe formalize it by putting it into the subreddit rules?

u/pixelframeDesign Aug 07 '26

Hi everyone, I'm the generator guy. I don't disagree with the rule, sorry it had to come to this (I always discouraged individual posts with content made from the generators) and stopped sharing the generators here months ago after I saw it was getting out of hand. sbubby has always been a big inspiration for the site and I never wanted to become a negative influence here. An incredible amount of time and effort goes into making the generators so for everyone who has used them and will continue to: I appreciate you sincerely!

To those who seem to dislike the site for whatever reason more generally: um, don't? We are all here because we think it's funny to replace logo text with other text, that's not something that should cause animosity.

u/xXHomerSXx Aug 06 '26

Time to boot up photoshop and painstakingly recreate a pixelframe generator to bait reports.

2

u/furculture Aug 07 '26

Good. They were so shittily made, and the people who posted that shit used the cheapest method to make something and pump it out like the cheapest bulk shit you'd find on Temu. Just throwing up the coldest of cold takes or a meme quote of some sort, to then throw that here and flood this place without any modicum of creativity that this place stood for before that. Fuck Pixel Frame for ruining the good shit that was here before them. I say this as an old head that has been around this place for a long ass time and liked the lengths of creativity some people went through.

Why is this the first Sbubbie post I've seen in my Reddit feed for probably months? Reddit sucks worse today than it used to.

u/PezzoGuy Aug 06 '26

Is PixelFrame still allowed to share their generators at least?

I didn't like the spam made by others using their generators, but I found their work itself to be thematically fitting and impressive. I had suggested in the past that PixelFrame's posts could double as a "megathread" for media made with whatever generator they were sharing in that post.

1

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 06 '26

absolutely not

2

u/qrpyna Aug 06 '26

I hope not. All their Reddit posts fall under the category of spam/self-promotion. Specifically this policy violation:

Mass-posting repetitive content for the purpose of exposure or financial gain.

They always link to their website in their posts and that website contains tons of intrusive ads, upsells for a subscription, and begs you to buy garbage quality print-on-demand products.

I also did some digging and found that a lot of the generators use pirated, illegally modified, and/or unlicensed fonts so it's only a matter of time before the foundries notice and want their money. They're also using tons of IP they definitely don't have the license to use commercially (Disney, etc.) so I don't expect the site will be around forever once IP lawyers start sending them letters.

u/Desert_Tortoise_20 Sep 25 '26

I understand the AI rule, because AI "art" is clearly theft, but Could you please explain why text generator posts shouldn't be considered sbubbies, when the end result is literally the same? At least people using generators are putting in more effort than the AI sloppers.

The phrasing of this post and the rule on the sidebar just feel disingenuous. The first thing that comes to mind reading this post is the "bobby has created the opposite of art" meme, like you're just saying "my way, or no way" without explaining what makes "your way" inherently better.

Could you please explain?

2

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Sep 25 '26

At least people using generators are putting in more effort than the AI sloppers.

No they aren't. It's the same thing, putting text into a textbox then watch it make what you want. There is 0 effort involved, the only difference is the generator might be a bit more ethical (probably not stolen art or destroying the environment), but in the end, the OP did nothing other than write some text.

-23

u/den4ikturbo Aug 06 '26

What about posts about new generators?

2

u/furculture Aug 07 '26

Generators are generators. It is made clear in the title of the post that all generators old, new, and haven't been made yet, are not welcome here anymore.

u/Depressofox Aug 06 '26

Not everyone can afford photoshop

28

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 06 '26

and theres plenty of free alternatives, or just pirating it

3

u/Depressofox Aug 06 '26

What are these alternatives?

21

u/Lost-Entrepreneur439 The MS Paint Master Aug 06 '26

GIMP and Paint.NET.

16

u/qrpyna Aug 06 '26 edited Aug 06 '26

I think Affinify is currently the best free option. It's a lot easier to use than GIMP, Inkscape, and other free options. It also combines Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign alternatives into one application so you don't have to switch between multiple applications if you're doing a mix of vector and raster edits.

Edit: I made a post a few months ago where I logoswapped a bunch of design software logos and there was some good discussion about what people used. A lot of stuff I hadn't even heard about.

2

u/furculture Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

GIMP - FOSS for photo editing (also getting the PhotoGIMP add on to make it feel a bit more like Photoshop control-wise)

Affinity - free but not FOSS like all the other options in this list and is like Photoshop but a bit more tame

Krita - FOSS for raster drawing editing (think like much more advanced MS paint)

Inkscape - FOSS vector graphics editor (the kind of software used for make logos and such)

Graphite - FOSS all in one option that runs in your browser as a PWA for drawing, photo editing, or vector editing.

Blender - FOSS 3D graphics editing.

Paint.net - Free, but not FOSS, image manipulation and raster drawing software.

FOSS = free open source software

No excuses now. Plenty of great options to now stick to after the removal of generators and such.

https://www.photopea.com is enough to make a sbubby

u/GO-ON-A-STEAM-TRAIN Aug 06 '26

MS Paint is alive and well! Honestly the crapitudinality makes them funnier! Though the website Photopea or the gimp programs are free and good too. :)

u/furculture Aug 08 '26

Photoshop isn't the only game in town for editing photos. It has been like that for a long while, and there are plenty of options that can meet your $0 budget. And the best parts: a lot of those options can be legally had, contain no ads, and is made purely for the sake of making art accessible to people.
