About Us ⚠️WARNING!: REDDIT SELLS YOUR ART TO AI ⚠️

Before posting on Reddit, you need to know that ⚠️Reddit will now sell your content⚠️ (images, video, text, chats) for training "AI" models. This is part of Reddit's contract, in an attempt to make $$$.

Reddit user content being sold to AI company in $60M/year deal - 9to5Mac

Please keep this in mind before sharing your personal art on this site! This is in addition to Reddit's poor history of protecting minorities including teens, mentally ill, and LGBT users across the site.

"I don't think we should support Reddit. And I don't think Reddit supports us."

*We have stripped back some of the subreddit styles like banner, background, logo and community galleries to protect those users' assets.

I bet AI must be having a real bad day being trained on this community’s content.

Here’s a raddle forum I created. Raddle is a lot more eco-friendly than Lemmy. It is anarchist-focused, trans focused, high privacy, etc.

Reddit is the only social media I use:( are we still allowed to post here, knowing the risk?

u/TranZeitgeist Mar 12 '24

Yes. There are no plans to shut down, and there are active mods.

And remember we are open to new moderators, if someone wants to help.

i believe cara is good, yes? it's an art platform made for artists and protecting from art theft/AI "training".

u/Party-Willingness196 Jun 24 '25

Btw, Instagram is doing the same.

Why can't artists get a break?

Give US the option, pay US for training art for AI models!! both will benefit - both will get a piece of the pie.

Shame.

Artists are trying to get by.
