@jsstaedtler I mean she is cute but I will still be mad at her when she steals my sandwich

@PurpCat
Imagine artists being real people with more things than art going on in their lives?!

I am sorry for that rather corny sentence... But it does have some truth to it.

I mean yeah people could create multiple accounts to seperate things out (think like a private alt-account or something ) but tbh its not working super well most of the time. Since switching accounts is annoying.

I have "solved" that problem with having 2 instances. This akkoma where there is all my regular posting and my sharkey where I try to post mostly about my sewing-stuff and the pics I took (mostly of myself in cute outfits.

You could solve this issue of unwanted content different ways. All will require the artist to do something though:

- Ask the artist if they have a gallery site (or check their bio). In general Posting art to social media is a dumb idea for preservation anyway... That gallery will have some RSS you can follow.

- Ask the artist if they could add a special hashtag to the art-posts (there is a risk to miss posts when the artist forgets the hashtag).

- See if the artist has a special account where they only post their art (some pixelfed account may be nice for it?)

- Maybe the artist is on other platforms outside of fedi as well (though that would mean you would need to venture outside of fedi...)

All are not perfect solutions surely. And generally I think its just a good idea to vibe check someone before you follow them just for the art. And also you can unfollow at any time if the vibe shifts.

@lain Good jobbu. But does that mean that pleroma-tan turns into an old hag now?

It's kind of infuriating how, as soon as you try to do good, you're held to impossible standards.

People are shit and companies are shit all the time and nobody bats an eye. But do volunteer work for your FOSS community, start a project that tries to do things more ethically, just be visibly not shit, and people left and right come out of the woodwork to point out all the ways in which you are not being absolutely flawless and perfect, and all the work that needs doing that you're not yet taking upon you.

The people actually doing the work are also the people who are being asked to do even more, and who are being critised the most. It's a really insiduous pattern and we all need to be better at recognising it and squashing it.
