"I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck."
Reply from the same user:
"For reference (heh)"
Screenshots of messages.
Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now."
There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled.
Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment."
Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?"
thereisselfpreservation:
"At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.
What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now

Starting to think they are specifically going after porn/erotica/nudey doodles because that's competition. Like walmart driving little mom and pop shops out of business.
"Well, there's no porn in my neighborhood, so I guess I have to drive all the way over to chaptgpt just to get one off." π

This is cool after the war on everything called βpornβ by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell βeroticaβ but you canβt haaa

New TOS censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists.
Everyone is telling you a much healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025
I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!
Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship
Silence is compliance!

some of y'all need reminding that bluesky doesn't run ads here. a posting blackout takes $0 out of their pocket. they're doing censorship SO they can run ads here, and all that a blackout does is show them we'll clean up and leave if pressured hard enough

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

I am mad.
Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here.
You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.
Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.
All of it.
SFW.
NSFW.

The censorship of NSFW is always driven by large, organised groups who think any kind of sex beyond heterosexual, normal missionary is degenerate and wrong. Inevitably, any talk of censorship ends up removing progressive queer media because that's by design.

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.
Don't stop calling.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with!
All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!
