    it’s just sad to see something that looks so grotesque in a community otherwise devoted to nature photography and an appreciation of these beautiful animals.

    Right mate, but WHAT EXACTLY sheltered world do you live in, in which a terrible disaster happens 'pon a wayward, funny owl post, eh?

      Yeah yeah with the sheltering and the big disaster. Listen dog, everything’s okay right now. We’re cool. Your joke is nice like I said. The image looks like trash, and I told you so directly because I’d rather not see trash here. You “prodded” it into existence in one second, right? Why get so defensive about it?

          Is this your final comment? You spammed a bunch of angry nonsense then deleted it over a period of three hours. I can still see the full text of all that in my inbox btw.

          Genuinely just sad. And now what do you even want with this last message? Good job listening, here’s a gold star lol? This is really the zinger you finally settled on after all that?

            Hah, I think it was moreso my catching myself and changing course. If an apology is in order, then I hereby offer it.

            The problem on my end is that I like contributing where I can (on top of running my community) but am almost always working through a level of pain & fatigue, having a pretty much fatal disease in CFS/ME.

            Admittedly, I have a short fuse when it comes to what I perceive as low-effort critique, even if it’s just me mistaking the situation and replying inappropriately. I’m generally at the end of my rope at that point, and should undoubtedly be doing something else, even if it’s just to ignore replies(!)

            I’ve also been stung like this before when contributing occasional AI-aided content. A common thing seems to be people assuming I put zero creativity or effort in to coaxing out something which I thought was fairly amusing after my work and final edits. [for example]

            OTOH, this has been about my sixth post across about two months in this particular sublemmy, and all have gone well so far until this one, which perhaps did slightly-less-well. “Anon6789” has been going above and beyond, and seeing that, I’ve wanted to help out when I can.

              Well, thank you for taking the time to apologize and provide context

              It’s awesome that you do so much to bring life into lemmy despite your medical situation. The situation at large here isn’t a reflection of you or your other contributions

              I read the rest of the comments here, and the post you linked to just now. The friction you’re running into with these posts isn’t related to you or your chronic illness or your posting history. Nobody is doing a background check on you before downvoting; most don’t even glance at your username

              It’s just the nature of AI generated content. Nobody can tell what effort you may have invested in this type of post, you know? This is without even getting into the very long list of reasons why AI content is divisive in general. No matter what you and I discuss here, the situation will most likely repeat any time this type of content is posted away from one of the dedicated communities for it
