Long description
genart.social
Welcome to genart.social, a space on the Fediverse for generative artists to connect and share their work. We use the term "generative" in its classic sense: not just AI, but any form of artistic expression generated from dynamic inputs. Based in Germany, our server is multilingual and welcomes contributions from around the globe.
Let's collaborate to make fedi a more visually interesting place!

Video Uploads
MP4 uploads should be 15MB or smaller, encoded with the H.264 codec, and at least one second long. Upload problems are almost always due to file size or unsupported codec.
GIFs will be mangled badly by Mastodon, and are not recommended here.
Accessibility
Use of captions for all posted media is strongly encouraged.
Content Warnings
Content warnings are not intended to penalize content, they are part of our culture and considered best practice. They are widely used when posting sensitive content, such as disturbing imagery, mentions of violence, spoilers, politics, nudity, or pictures of food.
Generative AI
Yes, we allow it, but: it's not popular on fedi, where there's a strong awareness of ethical lapses which occurred during AI's mass rollout.
We don't share the same "all AI is evil" zeal which is common here -- artists have been using machine learning (ML) in their work since the before times. Today being what it is, if you're using generative AI in your posts, you must say so. Consider adding the #aiart tag. Cite your models and data sources.
We encourage its use in art, but please do try go beyond the prompt. If you're flooding the timeline with "slop", we may limit your visibility.
Crypto Art
Yes, we allow it, but: it's also not popular on fedi. You are welcome to share your art -- fedi just isn't a great place to "pump your bags".
We kindly request members to keep posts about crypto art low-key and consider adding the #nft tag.
Bots
We welcome art bots, subject to admin approval and good behavior. Bots must self-identify.
