Filters out conservatives pretty well and stops bots because it requires the user to read.

Yeah? Sorta? It is created by Jingna Zhang who you may recognize from deviantart back in the day. Cara has a pretty aggressive no AI policy and still technically in beta I believe. The vibes are super good though, everyone is pretty cheerful and happy and there does not seem to be any monetization whatsoever other than politely asking people to donate if they enjoy the app. Although that may change in the future.

ah thank u, it is a bit silly

the instances I join keep collapsing and getting deleted

I use Cara, but that’s because I am an artist.

haha honestly it does 🤘

thank you, I appreciate it. :)

beautiful!

Aww, thanks for taking an interest in my photography. I shoot with a Canon EF 24-105mm 1:4 L IS USM lens most of the time. Mostly because I find the lens pretty versatile for my needs. I love shooting on cloudy days to keep things dark and avoid super harsh contrast and shadows, but if it is sunny I will make do. I’ll shoot slightly underexposed a lot, but I am not above altering my photographs in post if I like the shot enough to fix it later.

When will this horror ever end? It’s just escalation after escalation from Israel & the U.S.

Great shot, I love it.

I shot in color, but used a blue filter then turned black and white. Here is the original: https://files.catbox.moe/zjk9h5.jpg

Gotta love the vote shaming liberals, I only wish they were ashamed for voting for genocide.

Genocide Extreme™ Party or Genocide Party? At the end of the day it is still genocide and you should be ashamed that genocide isn’t a red line for you. If you’ll vote for genocide, what won’t you vote for? You’re basically telling the democrat party “I will vote for you as long as you make me feel morally superior to republicans regardless of what your actual policies are. And if you feel like changing those policies later on to further align with republicans, I’m cool with that too.”

Thank you. I am the artist. What else would you like to know?

Certainly get that vibe in Minneapolis as well. I love these historic homes, still have hope to have one for myself one day.

Recently had to buy a new TV due to a lightning strike (surge protector did nothing) and I never let my new “smart” TV communicate with the internet and it becomes a “dumb” TV and I feel pretty good about that.

Very peaceful. I love bumblebees. They seem less scary to me. I’ve been taking photos of bees on lavender near my apartment and the yellow and purple together is just so lovely. Maybe I will share them too once I get my confidence up a bit.

lovely

I had to look them up and they seem so cool!
