Gives off Legend of Zelda vibes for sure.

Doesn’t look completely abandoned. The lights are still on and working, not something that usually happens with abandoned structures. Definitely dilapidated though.

Not really sure, they don’t exactly look that similar, maybe their colors are slightly similar but also not really.

The Castle Guardian (Alt/Mirror)

(Haxivus100) (2025)

Image Description: A portrait of a teal blue dragon with a sly face in front of a castle which they are likely guarding. The dragon has azure blue eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. The castle behind them is extremely tall stretching high into the clouds.

Yeah I can see how one could read it that way.

Yeah, I’m wondering if he’s going to come back on another account. I’m assuming they’re the same person as the first one who got their comments removed and banned.

It is kind of funny though that they’d come peddling these arguments on a Piracy friendly instance and community. Like they do realize that the arguments they use against AI fall apart completely when the group advocates piracy and disregard for copyright in general right?

If you dislike it you should block this community but FYI dbzer0 is a piracy friendly instance in addition to being strong supporters of open-source AI. People think you are a troll for the exact same reason they would think someone is a troll for going to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and arguing that piracy is bad, because you come here spewing hate and making assumptions about people who use AI then when trying to justify it you spew the same talking points used in classic anti-piracy arguments “art theft”

In my opinion, AI slop is uncanny valley to me and makes my brain nauseous.

Take my advice up front, block this community, or better yet, block this whole instance, and don’t come back here again on alt accounts.

You must be the biggest loser ever to go spamming this nonsense in every AI friendly community you can find.

@kersploosh@lemmy.world @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Seems we got a spammer/troll here. Might be best to deal with this one sooner rather than later.

Aww he’s such a cutie, he must really like swords since most of his horde is composed of them.

Also I notice you forgot to post this on !stable_dragons@lemmy.dbzer0.com but don’t worry I crossposted it there just now.

It looks like a piece of jewelry with a glowing stone in it. The outer edge of it look like some kind of metal.

It definitely does share resemblance to TRON.

Kind of reminds me of Star Rider, a weird little obscure Laserdisc arcade game, with Pre-rendered graphics similar in style to this

I can help out if you need me to. I have some experience with moderation.

Why doesn’t the image display a preview or display in the post?

Here’s the image by the way for other people who can’t see it:

I think it looks very nice

Is this bot really needed anymore? I mean Lemmy now embeds tags into the posts, probably could be better at doing that but still.

Wow this looks really nice, the quality is fantastic. Kind of bummed that this isn’t real, would be a very pretty sculpture.

The main suggestion isn’t simply verification of Matrix accounts but being able to use a Matrix account instead of email to sign-up to servers. Also to be able to use Matrix in addition to Email for account recovery. Would be an alternate method of verifying the account, as well as enforcing usage of Matrix usage if Lemmy admins desire that.

The verification of Matrix account ownership isn’t really the primary goal, it’s just a nice side effect. It wouldn’t be in effect though unless the server had one of the first two options checked, if it’s the other two options it wouldn’t need to be verified to be added.

@kariboka@social.harpia.red Might be able to, but that might be a bit complex since XMPP has the same syntax as email (address@domain.tld), the way that Matrix is, it has a different syntax than email (@username:domain.tld) so the sign-up form could detect it differently than email. Which is why the requirement would be “Matrix or Email required”, not “Matrix and Email required”. Then you could have one single line in the sign-up form and it would still be familiar to most users.

I haven’t made any arguments in this thread, you are putting words in my mouth, and not really helping your credibility. All I said is that the person should defederate Lemmy instances and communities which go against the mission of their instance. Something that almost all instance operators would likely agree on.

Just for the record though, I don’t believe people should be kicked out of a project based on their nationality, that seems incredibly xenophobic. I don’t know where you got that idea that I said any of those things from.

Still worth while to do so, the trick is you need to defederate problematic instances. Not hide them, fully defederate. That stops problematic instances and communties from affecting your userbase. There’s many great Lemmy servers and communties out there. Just because a few of them aren’t great doesn’t mean you should dismiss all of them.
