Hello! I'm Ravendas! I like boardgames, skirmish games, making terrain with Hirst Arts plaster pieces and occasionally painting a mini. I made my own purple hex gaming table and decorate with @hollandspiele.bsky.social games on my wall.

This is the American default for burgers and hotdogs.

It's what we consider _mustard_.

Started a non-blocking list of, well, this image is explanatory.
I see a lot of 'normies' posting random bullshit, but not enough to actually get added to my 'main function is pumping out slop' list.

It feels a little preachy

An image of a list, made by me, labeled "People that post AI images, but not enough to really be blocked"
Description is: It's embarrassing. Stop polluting the world with fake imagery made from stolen work, not to mention the literal, actual pollution created from generating the slop.

You're like, the inverse of this??

You can post slop though, you'll just be added to block lists.

The Republican Brony comic.
Cell 1/3: (One group yelling at the guy) Grow up! Act like a man!
Cell 2/3: (Another group yelling at the guy) Get lost! You can't be one of us!
Cell 3/3: (Guy surrounded by the My Little Ponies, with Rainbow Dash holding an American flag and saluting) Main guy says: It's hard out here for a conservative brony.

That'd be what block lists are for, I guess.

Makes me have to take annoying routes to find accounts to add to my slop list

Hashtag searches on here are weird because if you have blocked enough things for that hashtag, posts just don't appear sometimes.
If I search a common AI hashtag right now, itll come up with 'no results found', despite later finding posts from unblocked accounts through other means with that hashtag

That's a solid set! I'd be happy getting it for whatever cheap qualifies as.

Got the first book for the comic Coda for a buck from a library sale. Seems like "madmax, but fantasy." Anyone have any opinions on if it's worth reading more of?

If you lost your entire family and all your friends from being an incredible misanthrope, now you have the facsimile of a friend to talk to.

If I had millions of dollars to gamble with, I'd hold a nice solid mil back just in case every gamble went belly up, I still have a million dollars.

That's funny, I was just telling my kids about this today. Take a normal name, change or add a letter or two, poof, fantasy name.

My handpicked AI slop list is up to 4,800 accounts. All accounts where their primary thing is churning out slop, checked by myself before adding them to it.

Found some AI "art" in the discover feed, which led me to a hashtag and me creating my first blocklist:
bsky.app/profile/rave...

I'll just browse hashtags occasionally to add to this, if anyone wants to mass block AI slop makers.
