cats@lemmy.world•Trap and release for stray cat population in corfuEnglish
8·1 month agoI sent you a DM asking for verification. If I can verify that you’re actually on Cofu helping the local stray cats then your donation link will be allowed.
Link for those that haven’t seen it. It’s such a beautiful song and a cute music video.

cats@lemmy.world•What’s the biggest “holy whiskers” moment your cat has ever caused online? Share your best goof or disaster!English
7·7 months agoFor the reporters and AI accusers:
I have reached out to OP and confirmed that they are not a bot. They have posted an explanation here: https://lemmy.world/post/31487746
They were simply trying to give helpful cat tips and were using an unusual writing style which unfortunately came off as LLM generated.
To the several people who reported this post:
This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
The post right below this is when they get a fourth for their group.

There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.

The no pants subway ride actually started in New York.

cats@lemmy.world•My void is broken, it only eats green vegetablesEnglish
40·1 year agoReport: Not a cat
OP is just riffing on the current void trend, so I’ll allow it.
If the community starts getting spammed with people making the same joke then I’ll start removing posts.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•New Literacy Statistics Just Dropped, and it's grim. 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labelsEnglish
45·1 year agoTo determine how many prison beds will be needed in future years, some states actually base part of their projection on how well current elementary students are performing on reading tests
Wow. That’s depressing.

News@lemmy.world•‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated MedicineEnglish
4·1 year agoDuring covid, there were people taking ivermectin to treat it.
Ivermectin for horses was a popular choice among these idiots.

My cat rejects me taking my hand back.

Once I was watching my brother play counter strike and he would turn away in game and irl whenever he threw a flash bang.
He didn’t even realize he was doing this until I pointed it out.

Games@sh.itjust.works•XCOM developers start new studio to take on The SimsEnglish
18·2 years agoFor anybody thinking this new game will be anything like XCOM prepare for disappointment.
Jake has previously said that he is leaving turn-based tactics games behind.
And his tweet announcing Midsummer even says “it’s going to seem very different from what I’ve done before.”
edit: There is some good news for turn-based tactics fans. Another studio founded by former XCOM devs is focusing on turn-based games.




I received some reports, so I want to confirm that I verified that the OP is in Corfu and is at the very least taking care of many cats. She shared ID, vet bills, and a time stamped photo with several of the cats.
That said I have no way to verify all of her story and, as commenters have pointed out, her $100,000 goal and AI generated donation page description are suspicious. I think I was too hasty in allowing the donation link. I will leave this post up, assuming OP removes the donation link in a timely manner.
I’ve reached out to OP to take down her donation link. And requested that she post updates on the cats for several weeks, how they’re doing, and what she’s doing for them. If she can provide consistent updates then I’ll reconsider allowing her donation link.
