    Lemmy has been a cesspool of uncited posts since its inception, what makes you think it’s gonna change now just cuz some clown keeps snipping off artist/creator names on memes and comics.

    I go to a channel for anime art and I open a post and the “source” is fucking Xcancel or Danbooru, an image board, both of which have fuck-all to do with* actually supporting* the artist. Thankfully, I know how to navigate that site to find the actual source, or at the very least the artist’s socials. But the average user likely doesn’t.

    I do hope that changes, but it’s kinda too late in the game to start calling it out, when most of the stuff on Lemmy is already uncredited.





  • It’s not a new word though, it’s an onomatopoeia that dates back to late 50s science fiction, specifically in regards to robots, because that was the sound you would expect a moving metal husk to make.

    Star Wars is what adopted the term to refer to the many droids of their universe. The droids are cheap, mass produced weapons used by the antagonists of the series, and therefore clanker is used to refer to them. Droids are the bad guys, bad guys = clankers, AI is seen as the bad guys, clanker = AI.









  • Number at the top is undeniably superior, it’s functionally more well designed. Not only does it make the die more pleasing to look at, but the number isn’t fighting for space with the other two digits, the other numbers are also angled downwards rather than upwards, further indicating that the number at the top is what you rolled.
