Add the artist’s tag after the image is uploaded, and please make sure you both tag the image as a ‘commission’ and mention you have permission to upload it in the description that will help prevent people from reporting it needlessly.

@Ciaran
Ah, gotcha! Thanks for the help!

I just got logged out of my account and then I put in my password and it was saying like not enough so I ended up having to make a new password with like 12 characters so is there some kind of issue here going on? I thought I lost my account like what happened was there an update?

I made a report pointing out four related items (comments/forum posts) via the report description, as instructed on the reporting form. It was closed, and only the item the report was directly made from was deleted, not the other ones listed. Were they checked and ruled to be acceptable, or did whoever handled the report ignore the description?

So, since Trump now has a second term, I’ve wanted to ask you, do you think you’ll be protected against Project 2025?

@Background Pony #EDE7
I think that depends if Trump’s possible corporate changes would make Hasbro feel inclined to target and strike down our fandom.

(Which I doubt.)

@CaptainXtra
Considering their support of Harris, I wouldn’t be stunned if they didn’t.

@CaptainXtra
IIRC I think staff mentioned that Derpi would remain unaffected by any of these big Internet bills/projects

Especially since the server is in Europe iirc and doesnt have to follow US laws

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
No, the Derpi server’s in the US, so it will be affected.

@Blissful690
Unless Project 2025 somehow says “lol fuck fandom sites” in particular, I don’t think this’ll be a major issue.

With that said, LGBTQ+ works on this site might attract negative attention of far-right groups much more often…

@CaptainXtra
Exactly.
👍

@Blissful690
And also, CloudFlare has many servers in the us, south America, asia, oceania & europe, so…

@Blissful690
Derpi’s servers are in Germany.

@Mikey
Thanks.

@Background Pony #687D
No problem.

Banning porn is part of Project 2025, so don’t be surprised if non-US sites get fucked with for hosting it.

@Blissful690
None of derpi’s infrastructure is located in the US

@Background Pony #EDE7
That’s Cloudflare’s problem, they can reroute.

@TexasUberAlles
They can try, VPNs exist for those trapped in Dumbfuckistan.

@The Smiling Pony
Aren’t you guys funded by donations? Have you crunched the numbers for if you’d be able to afford to operate if you lost all your American funding?

Sites in other countries don’t have to follow US laws, sure, otherwise the incoming administration wouldn’t be able to get its orders directly from the Kremlin, but users in the US are still subject to whatever dumb shit falls out of the orange clown’s assmouth, and a government with an intelligence infrastructure as enormous and pervasive as the US has is capable of some wretched things if it’s, y’know, being controlled by a clown.

@TexasUberAlles
True.

Since it’s pertinent…
Fuck every single one of you voters who voted for this cunt again and I hope you suffer from his actions to make you realize how stupid you really are.
I’ve lost the ability to care anymore.
I don’t care if this post breaks any rules. I don’t care. Nothing matters.

Another thought:
Have you considered making a Kickstarter?

@Background Pony #EDE7
For what purpose would that serve?

@Mikey
Alternative funding in case SubscribeStar goes down.
