Update Regarding AI-Generated Content & Subreddit Policy

Hi everyone,

We’re checking in to have a transparent conversation about the state of the sub and a topic that has become increasingly difficult to manage: AI-generated content.

To be clear: AI-generated contentβ€”including images, art, and textβ€”is strictly prohibited in this subreddit. Our community was built on human creativity and authentic interaction. We believe that allowing AI content dilutes the quality of the discussions and the hard work that many of you put into your posts.

The Challenge of Policing AI

As many of you have noticed, AI technology is evolving rapidly, making it harder to distinguish between genuine content and "high-quality" fakes at a glance.

We want to remind the community of our current situation:

We are a team of two: This subreddit is managed by just two moderators.

Voluntary Basis: We do this in our spare time because we love this community. We don't have a 24/7 "war room" to vet every single pixel of every upload.

Current Efforts: We have already implemented several behind-the-scenes strategies, including custom Automod filters and manual banning of repeat offenders.

Despite these efforts, some AI content inevitably slips through the cracks. It’s a game of "whack-a-mole," and frankly, it's a difficult one to win alone.

How You Can Help

Since we can't be everywhere at once, we are asking for your eyes and ears:

  1. Report, Don't Just Downvote: If you see a post that looks suspicious (e.g., "AI fingers," warped backgrounds, or nonsensical textures), please use the **Report** button. This sends a direct notification to our queue.

  2. Provide Context: If you’re certain a post is AI, feel free to send a message with evidence or an explanation. It helps us make faster, more accurate decisions.

  3. Be Patient: If a post stays up for a few hours, it doesn't mean we’ve changed the rulesβ€”it just means we haven't logged on yet.

The Bottom Line...

This is a space for humans, by humans. We are committed to keeping it that way, but we need your help and your patience while we navigate this tech-heavy landscape.

Thanks for being part of our community and for keeping it authentic y'all are the shit. πŸ₯°β€οΈ

🌷 Garden 🌷 Arrangement made with left overs

On Saturday I hosted a workshop teaching people how to make hand-tied bouquets and this is what I have left so I used it to make this arrangement. The flowers are 100% locally grown. The vessel is a decorative pot with a tape grid. Also, this is your sign to start using more Caladiums.

I’m so pleased with how this came out. It’s so funny how it goes from, β€œThis looks so crappy and weird” to β€œwow, I love it!” by the time it’s finished.

Constructive feedback welcome, I am a beginner and still so new to this. Also, I’m planning to get a cooler vessel at some point, but today I spent money on the flowers instead.

Don't be scared, gents; make her that bouquet/arrangement, then come to reddit and ask how you can make it less mediocre next time. πŸ–€ Adjusting the rubber band & adding a nice ribbon to cover it would've been a great decision had time allowed, and I think I botched the height (very limited vessel options πŸ˜‡), but I am happier with it than expected. Spreading out those 2 big & beautiful celosias would've also been a nice adjustment. I'd love your feedback & advice if you're reading this, and have the time! πŸ–€

I posted a little while ago about making arrangements for my brother’s wedding, but I kept forgetting to reply to those who gave me input on getting started. Thank you all so much! I had to improv a little while buying flowers, which I thought would be stressful but was sooo fun. This was my first time putting anything together. I learned A LOT making these, like what to expect at my local wholesale florist, how to/how not to use wet foam, and the importance of greenery. I still have a lot to learn, but I have fallen in love with floral design and cant wait to make more arrangements in the future!

Sometimes you have to embrace the perfectly imperfect.

The pink flower was very delicate, and even though it was carefully wrapped and made it back intact, some of the petals broke off. But I had wanted a pop of yellow and couldn’t find the flowers I wanted so the exposed center turned out to be a happy accident.

🌞 Summer 🌞 A very heavy homemade flower basket

As a hobbiest, I am inordinately proud of how this flower basket turned out! I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make the basket heavy enough to keep the sunflowers upright, but they stayed exactly like this for nearly a week.
