For any artist that didn't leave Twitter yet, musk announced that your art will be used for training machine learning algorithms without your consent.
I know it's not easy for people who have large following there and rely financially on commisions, but I suggest leaving and removing your gallery if you are not ok with your art being monetized and used for despiceable purposes.
Here's the article about it:

[UPDATE] I talked to one of the FA moderators on Discord, and they immediately took action and removed the submission. It looks like some moderators just close tickets about nazi hate speech without taking action, but some treat it as seiously as it should be treated.

Original post:
I just cancelled my FA+ subscription and urge everyone else to do the same. For more than a year FA is refusing to remove art promoting nazism that I reported, and I don't want to sponsor hate speech and nazi ideology.
Support of nazism cannot be tolerated. People who refuse to remove nazist propaganda are complicit themselves. By allowing this FA mods are spitting in the face of everyone that belongs to groups usually targeted by nazis.
I will update this journal post when nazi promoting content gets removed.

RagdollZombie is a good friend of mine, a talented artist and amazing person.
She is very active in NeosVR community and makes seriously cool avatars.
Recently she has struggled with severe health problems. She is not able to get any restful sleep due to sleep apnea, and will need an APAP machine that will help her breathe while she sleeps. APAP machine, in-hospital sleep study and other medical expenses cost a lot of money and she doesn't have an insurance. Even small donations or spreading the word will help a lot and any help will be greatly appreciated by me.
Here's the link to her GoFundMe:

The Campaign is organized by Styx/Garflesnark, who is also a friend of mine and is very active in Neos Creator Jam. They already got funding for the in-hospital sleep study which costed $1200 I think, and will need money for APAP machine and other medical expenses.

Check out commissions by Blizzy. They are a friend of mine and have unique, really cute art style and awesome prices:

Update 1: It seems that at least person posting that art got banned, but sadly art itself is still up.
Update 2: After reopeing the ticket artwork was taken down. I also reported another account where someone was posting antisemitic hate speech, and it was removed within hours. Thanks to FA mods for this!

I found and reported an user with lots on nazi-glorifying artworks, featuring hate symbols such as totenkopf, schutzstaffel insignia, nazi party eagle and nazi uniforms. He even has a drawing of a person in nazi uniform as his profile picture.
I linked to offending artworks and cited Anti Defamation League site on said hate symbols.
FA admins did not take down art containing hate speech symbols and just closed support ticket without explanation. Is the hate speech allowed here now?
Upload policy says:

"2.12 Content Involving Real Hate Groups or Terrorist Organizations

Content which displays imagery, language, or rhetoric associated with real world hate groups (e.g. Nazism, ISIS, KKK), terrorists, mass murderers, or serial killers is not allowed whether that content promotes, denounces, or incidentally features these groups and their symbols."

So it clearly shouldn't be allowed. If anyone knows FA admins, please contact me. We shouldn't allow neonazis here.
That person lies that they don't support nazism, but their gallery is full of nazi-gloryfing art and hate symbols.

I reopened support ticket again. I don't care if I get banned. I will also stop paying for FA+ subscripton - I don't want to support hate speech.
If such artwork is allowed that means that LGBTQ+ people like me or so many friends here are not welcome on FA anymore.

Here's the link to Anti Defamation League site for anyone who wants to learn more about various hate symbols:
https://www.adl.org/
It's a very good resource.

Update 2: He got suspended for just one day, so he will probably continue soon.
Update: FA mods acted this time and harasser's account got suspended.

Me and my friends have been target of a harasser here on FA for a long time now. Moderators don't do anything about it.
One of my closest friends,  Axolotlthon has just been falsely accused by him in a public journal post on FA.
It's complete lie, created to cause as much pain as possible. There were a lot of journal posts like this by this harasser, but FA refuses to act.
We also received death threats from that person.
Another friend of mine was forced to leave FA by that person:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10182744/
That harasser is also stalking us on Discord and Telegram and making hate videos about us on youtube.
A lot of my friends who are constantly being targeted are considering leaving FA due to this.

A stalker that has been obsessed with me for almost a year now is still going after me and also publicly spreading lies about me. If he contacts you please let me know.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a humanitarian tragedy of unspeakable proportions.
Please consider helping by donating to humanitarian organizations, for example International Red Cross:
https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine
National Bank of Ukraine is also doing a fundraiser to directly help Ukraine's Armed Forces:
https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/nat.....potrebi-armiyi
This is a war where brutal dictator made an unprovoked decision to invade democratic country.
By helping you can be on the right side of history.

A person on FA is publicly harassing me and my friends, and spreading lies about us in FA jounal post. If you have any questions, contact me.
I'm worried that these attacks are intended to hound one of my friends into suicide.

Edit: Hopefully the problem is resolved now
Edit2: He is still going, and has been going for many months now

I've recently became interested in VR (mostly VRchat, and game development with Godot engine), which isn't supported all that well in Linux, so I want to buy a Windows 10 license and dual-boot.
My computer is very old, and I'm not sure if it will be able to boot Windows 10. That PC is still pretty beefy tho, so it would be a pity to replace it just because motherboard isn't supported.
Here are it's specs:
Supermicro X9DRI LNF4f motherboard with two Xeons e5 2690 v2, 64 GB ECC RAM, GeForce 660 Ti GPU. All hard drives are regular SATA.
I'm certain that GPU will need to be upgraded to reach decent framerates, but I wonder if the rest of the system will work, especially because of motherboard driver availability (if any drivers are needed for the motherboard, I didn't use Windows in a long time, so I'm not sure of it).
I plan to buy HP Reverb G2 headset and I also wonder if it will be able to work with GeForce 660 Ti at all (I plan to upgrade it when GPU prices drop down a bit, so framerate is not a concern, it just needs to work for now).
Any advice would be higly appreciated.

To anyone who harassed me because of it, I'm saying that I left Dusk's Discord server.
It was painful to leave all the friends there, but I couldn't take constant attacks and accusations posted on FA anymore.
Edit: To clarify, Dusk and everyone on his server are my friends. People who attacked me are not on his server.

Since Christmas my friends and me are being harassed because of a free YCH comic I made for them.
The stress has burned me out and I won't be able to create any new art due to that. It just isn't fun anymore.
I'm giving up for now.
Update: Harassment seems to have stopped now, I hope that's that the end of it. I'm slowly trying to start making art again.

As you probably already know,  wolfiethewierdo is going through some really rough times. He is not allowed to access FA and Discord, and he is isolated from his friends.
Because of that I'm asking all of you who consider yourself his friends to contact him at DeviantArt:
https://www.deviantart.com/wolfiethewiierdo
All of you can probably imagine how it would feel to be abandoned by your friends, so head on there and let him know that he is not alone and we are here for him. Please me help cheer him up in those difficult moments. If you don't have DeviantArt account then create it. It costs nothing and takes less than a minute.
I also want to thank all of you who already contacted him there.

Take care,
