Hey all,
I had posted an image recently that was removed by user medlem for admittedly valid quality reasons. Later today, I (I feel) painstakingly fixed the problems with the post and resubmitted it. After that, it was almost instantly deleted by user DeNatural and I was looking to get in touch with them to appeal the removal. It seems the best way to do that is through the furry diffusion discord, but on attempting to join, I'm met with a "this server doesn't appear to have any channels" message. No other server seems to be doing this to me. Have I been shadowbanned for wonky IP reasons, or what's going on there? At any rate, I would like to be in the discord aside from just appealing the deletion.
Side note, if I were hypothetically to modify an image in GIMP by hand to meet quality standards, would that still qualify as AI and be legal to post? There have been some great gens I've had to throw away because of minor details that would cause them to be rejects on here.
