This is the general thread for the alternative fan sites of the My Little Pony fandom. Discussion, development suggestions, and criticisms are all welcome here.

Long time no see.

>Why alternate boorus?
Changes to Derpibooru have made the site a less than ideal location for pony fan art. So, several new boorus arose to provide alternatives. Many of the altbooru owners post in thread and listen to questions and comments from anons. Note that this is NOT the Derpibooru drama general. Please keep posts about Derpibooru in the thread on mlpg.co.

>Why alternate text sites?
>Why alternate text, fanfiction, and fanfiction archival sites?
Pastebin.com has deleted, and continues to delete, greentexts on the site. FimFiction does not allow stories in the greentext format. FimFetch has been purging foalcon and other material deemed to be "unacceptable" as late as Jan 22 of 2024,. As such, a new home is needed.

Overview: altboorus.org

>Latest Developments:
- Ponybooru has been up and down a lot due to server issues.
- FoalFetch is being worked on, but slowly. Downloads for stories were added.
- Floorb is working on a project to archive pony from Twitter, DeviantArt and maybe other sites, and looking for volunteers to help.
- Ongoing comment and image spam on the various altboorus.
- A security/privacy issue on Ponepaste, which allowed for anyone to view one's private paste titles, their authors, and tags (but not its actual content) was patched.
- The fanfiction archival site FimFetch escalates its ongoing purge of content deemed by them as "unacceptable" (mainly foalcon) by hosting a list of accounts from all around the fandom (FimFiction, Discord, AO3, Derpibooru, ect.) they "found" to be associated with said material. In response, Floorb has created foalfetch.net. For keeping up with the ongoing drama, see https://ponepaste.org/9926
- TPA/Ponybooru server restoration completed after going to shit. Hobune instance also updated.
- Ponerpics image back-forward buttons broken (again)
- Foalbooru brief hostile takeover/server issues? Resolved?
- Floorb finally bulk-imported missing images onto Twibooru, image processing queue bloated due to such.
- Total Spammer Death solution in place on Twibooru.

None of them delay metadata separately from delaying grabbing the image itself. If it gets deleted on Derpi faster than it gets grabbed by import scripts, it does not get imported.

Hello Lotus, what's the status of automatic tag re-import from Derpibooru?
Many imported images are missing tags like:
3d, anthro, equestria girls, humanized, ai content
While on derpibooru they have those tags just fine as of right now. Even if you or users don't want a full re-import, maybe whitelist of tags to be added (not removed) on import would be a compromise? Tags like mentioned above and stuff like diapers, foot fetish, morbidly obese, etc.

Its replacing the underscore in some of the tags and creating two different galleries for the same tag.

Limiting new content and enforcing the rule in a retard way is one thing.
Removing content on the other hand is a completely different thing. What will be the next thing they nuke completely from the site? Because this will set an example. Whatever content they don't like they will just nuke retroactively.

AIslop was a pollution, it's being cleaned up. You can pretend you don't care about derpi but stamped your feet to have a right to dump slop exponentially and pissed off the whole community with your artist copycat Loras to get free coms and free exposure to grift.

>>41707710
The Twibooru importer does cache images and metadata on upload, but nothing is actually done with the cache, other than the fact that I occasionally purge data from it for images that were successfully imported.

Question for the masses: Should Twibooru import from Tantabus too?
>>
>>41713722
>should Twibooru import pony content
this should not be a question that needs asked, you literal faggot
>>
>>41713730
There's a philosophical aspect to it too. If someone made a site that generated one AI pony image per second, should Twibooru import that too?
>>
>>41713734
The only reason i say 'no' is purely physical constraints of software/hardware.
If it was a pure philosophical question, then yeah, assuming that it was actually pony and not some furnigger slop or incomprehensible like a visual version of the average sharty post.
>>
>>41713734
>>41713739
So the concern is that the new AI site might not have any quality control ?
>>
>>41713743
Given they're sending either niggerfaggots (literal), people who don't want to be there, people that are there for CONTROL, or people that are busy with other projects, yeah, definitely going to have a quality control problem.
I also don't believe them when they say that it's not beholden to the Furpibooru revenue stream, same as i don't believe that Furpibooru's component parts are separate, so there may be deliberate sabotage on top of that.
But besides the implications for importing that those two parts would imply, the main problem would be the delay on importing and what tags to ignore.
Might have to be made an approval queue.
>>
>>41712998
They seem to have fixed this by making aliases, at least on the examples I had.
>>
>>41713753
Well they did say that ai assisted art will remain, which might be their attempt at keeping the good prompters on derpi. Which honestly only lowers the expectation on the new site if they even decided to separate the wheat from the chaff before sending the "rest" to that site.
>>
>>41713771
They were already culling prompters with obvious flaws (for their definitions of them, anyways), this only tightens the noose to those that use AI as a equal or minor component in their work.
>>
AI images are not that different from the show screencaps, animation frames or pony creator OCs. If you can handle those, you can handle AI just fine.

If they wanted it gone they could have sent all of it to the other site.
But maybe the AI public is so big that they instead went for this approach of finding in any possible exception that could exclude an image from the slop category.

>AI images are not that different from the show screencaps, animation frames or pony creator OCs. If you can handle those, you can handle AI just fine.
I do think they are different from show screencaps and animation frames. Pony creator OCs would be a closer comparison if generation was completely randomized. The thing is, with AI, you can always generate more. It is infinite. It doesn't take any time and you can do it as much as you want. So to a certain extent, I sort of feel like any particular AI generation inherently doesn't have as much value because it's not like it's any different from any other generation. It's like comparing one dollar bill to another. It's functionally the same, so generally speaking it's not all that worth while to hold onto one vs another. Screencaps and animation frames may be numerous, but they are still very much limited, and their content relatively more unique. Which I feel provides more value because you can't just generate more of them at command. You're stuck with what you got, so it makes sense to organize them to be able to find the one you're looking for.

I've seen a few neat AI images on the booru, but overall it generally does feel a lot like spam. Similar to someone uploading millions of randomized Pony Creator OCs. And because of that I don't necessarily disagree with rejecting the vast majority of AI images. Unless the particular generation somehow has some additional value attached to it. If you were to allow AI generations on a booru I think you would need to implement some sort of limit or restriction just to cut down on the sheer quantity of potential uploads. And I'm not sure that there could be a way that isn't entirely subjective of determining which AI generations make it up vs another, again because they're in a way interchangeable.

Just some thoughts. I am not against the existence of AI art, but I do have mixed feelings about it on the boorus.

>>
>>41713994
We are in early days of the problem. My point being that, at what point does it become more reasonable for your query (prompt) to generate an entirely new set of results each time you search vs storing and tagging all possible pixels combinations that can come out of the AI?
>>
>>41713864
>shitting on 4chan in the first two minutes
Dropped. This is normie shit.
>>
>>41713779
According to the thread the issue is rather moderation. Official screens are more or less guaranteed to be unproblematic in terms of quality control and content violations. Pony Creator OCs are closer, but people aren't uploading so many of them that it's a burden. Otherwise they'd probably ban them too.

>>41713994
Isn't that kind of what the new rule is doing though? They've continually been adjusting the effort floor for uploads. With AI that floor has been lowered.
>>
>>41713722
>Question for the masses: Should Twibooru import from Tantabus too?
No. Archive the actual generator AIs, not the ENDLESS SLOP they can churn out. >>41713948 Specifically because it's endless.

If you don't have several people willing to act as quality control (no, derpistaff are not QC) and pluck the rare gems from the torrential flood of shit, none of it should be archived. The rare worthwhile images are an acceptable sacrifice to not have your storage and network capacity occupied by the rest.

>>
>>41712531
as an artist myself, and opponent of machine learning, their take is retarded, they are retarded, and deeper retards will applause them.
banning AI generated will NOT do anything against AI scraping. This is the main concern of artists.
banning AI art will force AI gens to be more innovating in hiding and sneaking AI content.
banning AI art WILL HELP AI offering derpibooru to data harvesters who will assume to date no content will be generatrf and that's attractive to prevent machine learning poisoning.

one more thing, I have been accused of using AI by retards despite now I got to keep WIPs and sketches as proof like they don't check any older art. Who decides? an expert? an AI?

Altboorus should not follow this, tag Ai art properly, not traditional, and detect/ban obvious crawlers if you want to prevent AI art and do something effective against it.
>>
>>41716492
Does that mean the way to protect your real art is to tag everything you make as "machine learning generated"?

wanna poison machine learning, aka the reason no animal normally won't eat its own caca, aislop fags at least know they should not train on machine generated content, it generates noise or nonsense, god knows why, even themselves barely understand why, there's patterns that are done only by AI and will "confuse" the process.

also do I have to point out mot of the staff loves AI, they even have a ai generated section for it on derpi's discord, and some even are on purplesmart so they are only claiming to do something about machine learning or against AI art to look nice to artists, while doing the opposite and they do it on purpose.
or else they really are retarded.

>>41717158
False dichotomy. Personally I get annoyed when Google Image Search is contaminated by AI art, and AI art is filtered by me in boorus by default. Personally I think "AI-art" is eerily similar to "MTL". A person who claims to be a "MTL-translator" is an oxymoron: when MTL is shit, polishing the shit won't make it not shit. When MTL is perfect (in the next century, kek), then "MTL-translator" middleman person is redundant. I think using AI to generate static pictures is a waste, similar to creating a whole scenery and characters in 3D and then just sharing 2D render of it. If it's 3D, let us be inside this world, interactively, don't waste everyone's time by showing pictures of it. Similarly AI should be used to generate content dynamically and interactively. Infinite Craft got the right idea, but it's just a piece of the puzzle.
But here's another viewpoint: there's a camp of people who think that art is about effort and skill, and there's other people who think that art is about vision and message. For the second group literally anything can be art. Banana taped on the wall? Art. 4 minutes 33 second of silence? Art. A black square? Art. By that criteria unedited AI pictures also can be art, if artist is that good. But just like a teen drawing a red circle is naive in thinking that it would be sold for million dollars, most AI artists won't be renowned, either.
Overall, sharing AI is just people going "neat, let's show it to other people". It's harmless. It's similar to people sharing funny comics from a random pony comic generator: https://flashmuseum.org/pony-comic-generator/ . Just filter it if you don't like it.

Anything that mod doesn't like. So logically following what is and isn't allowed, humanized versions of ponies (young) aren't pony, but BBW scolipedes are pony. I wonder if he's going to send a twibooru DM to a user over comments on this thread again.

I'm guessing we're not ready to have a conversation about if the alt boorus should prune their AI art too.

>>41718268
It's actually never been agreed upon what counts, so it's up to the mod's discretion past a certain point. Kind of a nightmare to go through stuff actually, or at least it would be if there weren't a thousand other problems to sort through that get higher priority.

From least to most removed from pony:
>Screenshots of the show
>vectorized items from the show
>fanart of the show of the unaltered characters
>fan characters that have identifiable MLP provenance, such as cutie marks
>fanart that significantly alters canon characters, such as by turning them into humans (that leaves them recognizable as MLP characters)
>fanart that significantly alters common fandom OCs, such as aryanne or milky way

The above section is all stuff that instantly passes the smell test, aka someone lightly familiar with the franchise can instantly tell it's MLP related. Common sense stuff that isn't really open to debate. What follows is much murkier, and unfortunately devolves quickly into a feelings-based judgement call from the admins as to whether it's allowed to stay or not, with really being able to concretely say why.

>creature characters without identifiable MLP provenance
This really badly affects griffons and deer in particular. If it's show accurate, fine, but otherwise good luck making an argument that it should stay. (Kirin and changelings are much less affected due to having distinct designs)
>"show accurate" art without MLP provenance
i didn't see anybody complain that the eqg style stuff was deleted, so I guess it's agreed it's not pony related
>fan characters divorced from their MLP origins
This is a problem only Derpibooru has. Apparently if you upload a critical mass of pony OC images, you're allowed to continue uploading that OC even if you remove all identifiable pony stuff from it, and have publicly left the fandom
>fanart that significantly alters an OC character, to the point they lack identifiable MLP provenance such as by turning them into humans
This is what got Boxless into trouble. Which is continually hilarious to me, because she didn't actually pull the trigger. Come on guys, the mod log is public, there's no excuse It's the treachery of images: you're showing me a cartoon woman and saying it's pony related. It's a purely emotional argument.

tl;dr Don't make the mods bear the burden of solving the sorites paradox and put something identifiable from MLP in it. Please, put cutie marks or wings on those cartoon women. Don't tell me it wouldn't be hotter anyway.

And of course, no matter what the mods do, there's going to be people like >>41719129 angry at the choice. They're either too lax and let too much through, or too punitive and delete the stuff people like.

If EQG and humanized are pony related, doing the same thing to pony ocs is pony related. It's demonstrable that cockless in particular has been all over nuking humanized versions of Dyx et. al. yet is all over defending some very badly drawn bbw scolipedes. It's a very relevant example. Don't do stupid shit and defend it, and you (rhetorical, gotta specify because I'm all too aware people need shit on the level of reddit putting "/s" next to sarcastic statements to comprehend anything they read because observing context clues isn't taught in schools anymore) don't get swarmed with shit. ezpz
Ponytube so far avoids any moderation drama because it's cut and dry and the moderation knows what belongs there and doesn't. Some faggot's bluey video or let's play of some random game? Gone. Pony content, even if it's that godawful subgenre of anthro sfm where it's the pony head and tail put on a generic recolored human female body? It's pony, so such cancer is still allowed. You won't be seeing videos of bbw anthro scolipedes being kept there.

Disingenuous cunt. What I advocate is an equal treatment of ocs and show characters: real (pony) form and humanized/eqg.

Humanized/eqg for show characters is considered okay. Ergo, the same should apply to fandom characters. Wolf/deer/dog/etc. versions of show characters should not be allowed, ergo the same should apply to fandom characters.
Having such a clearly defined set of info and still trying to pretend like something else entirely is being demanded is the definition of disingenuous.

"You pay the money, you can look at the result once, but you don't actually own it, don't dare to repost it or use it in own projects. When I decide to quit, I'll take down and purge all the art, including ones you commissioned" attitude is surprisingly common among the artists.

This whole argument would've been avoided if Twibooru's administration could give a clear-cut answer as to what OCs are pony enough to get a pass on rule 2.
>>
>>41713831
Tantabus is operated by Derpi staff and the admin is literally TSP just like Furbooru. You don't wanna see this in the "alternatives". TSP is an active shill of AIslop and most of the staff are very close with PurplesmartAI's.
>>
>>41712531
Let's be honest. This decision appears to be less about opposition to AI itself and more about creating a new issue to exploit for public approval, particularly to appease artists who are critical of AI. Meanwhile, some members of the Derpibooru staff are involved with Tantabus which has been around since 2022. IMHO, the ban might have been a calculated move sonce the early AIslop things like this pony does not exist.
Moreover, Derpibooru has never implemented measures to protect artists’ work from AI scraping. For example, they could use fake tags or similar methods to shield artwork from being used by AI generators like Purplemmart, and many more tricks like limiting the http requests that seems automated, but they have not taken such steps. This is showing their sheer hipocrisy while presenting themselves as champions of artists’ rights, TSP is making decisions primarily for appearances and to align with prevailing sentiment against AI just like everytime there is something they can do. and it's their hobby, fabricating "problems" to position themselves as heroes in the eyes of the community. Foalcon, Aryanne, hateful things. TSP and staff have now adopted the cool "Anti AI" vibe to fit the current narrative and nothing else. They don't give a fuck about artists. They will bully, harrass or ban any artist or attack them as soon they draw anything they don't like, like they always done.

I'm assuming it's Twibooru. Basically, it has to do with SVGs generated with Inkscape, because Inkscape decided to violate the standard and do whatever, meaning you need proprietary code to render Inkscape PNGs into SVGs and Bored doesn't want to do that.

Guys. I fucked up big time. If this situation had another outcome, your post would have been way fucking funnier in the long run.
I'll try to keep it short. I was working on repairing a tube amp a friend of mine lent me. It's been a good while since I've worked on shit like this. And I made a boneheaded move. I grabbed the chassis with one hand and touched one of the tubes with another. What I can only assume to be capacitive coupling caused current to flow through me, straight across my chest, through my heart. I called 911 and they sent the amber lamps. They said my heart had an abnormal rhythm that was a precursor to heart attack which is a precursor to death, and advised I take a ride in the wee woo wagon to the hospital. That shit took up most of the rest of my day. I'm stable now, but they are advising I use an at-home/body-worn heart monitor for the next little while.
Love yall.

>>41732902
Twifag has access to both the server and the hosting company account. I've been trying to write better documentation for future sysadmins, but I've been falling behind on it. As for PonePaste, the code is open source and there are daily dumps of the content. FoalFetch is also open source, and once we have content there other than just the data from Fimfarchive, it will be also available as a daily dump.
On top of that, my husband knows the location of decryption keys for an encrypted archive I have stored somewhere he also knows the location of, which consists of all my passwords (for my password manager, and stuff isn't there,) all my private keys, and contact information for people who know me and my projects really well and would know how to proceed on my behalf.

https://www.horsewords.org/
Here it is: >horsewords. It's a modern take on story archival, designed to make greentext collections readable and searchable. The goal is to archive every single greentext story ever written, both in the past and in the future. I built it over the weekend as part of a self-imposed coding challenge.
The tagging system automatically identifies characters, genres, themes, and writing style, so ultimately you should easily be able to query things like "all Fluttershy stories" or "only porn stories". I only let the tagging script run for a few hours last night, so the whole database isn't tagged yet (and there are a lot more tags that I could be using), but it's a proof of concept of what could be possible.
Any thoughts, comments, etc. would be very helpful. I'll be fixing up a lot of bugs and implementing QoL features.
>>
>>41734329
Right now, only stories from poneb.in are on the website, but I'm planning to add the stories from ponepaste soon. Also planning to have an automatic desuarchive scraper that adds greentext stories live.
>>
>>41734329
>automatic tagging system
Impressive. How does it work, is it AI?
>>
>>41734475
Yes it truncates every story down to ~3,000 tokens, and then tags it. It costs about ~$50 to tag around 3000 stories. I'll eventually get every greentext tagged, but I do want input on what kind of tags I should use so that I can save time.
>>
>>41734329
looks great!
>>
>>41734329
Will Anons have the ability to add/edit tags on stories?
>>
>>41734512
Would you like to be able to do so? I could use some help tagging if people are willing.
>>
>>41734515
It would be nice. The AI tags are a great start, but they really do leave a lot to be desired. Nothing yet has came close to the old Pastebin search in terms of finding what you're looking for. Though they just did a content search.

Worthless.
>>
>>41734338
How do you deal with duplicates then? There are a couple of stories on Poneb.in that are out of date because the authors have added more chapters over time. How do you discern which ones are up to date and such?

Nope, It's fucked. deleting a tag doesn't delete it from the bar and when you add another tag it's as if you never deleted the tags. Manually deletion of a tag doesn't update the search as on a booru.

I don't know how easy that would be in terms of coding, but the easiest solution I could think of is to check duplicates for date and/or size when they pop up, as the updated ones would be the more recently edited/larger text files in most cases. It's probably not a perfect idea, but it's at least something.
>>
>>41736385
I thought about it some more overnight, and checking for duplicates shouldn't be that hard. I'd like a comprehensive database before I run any script that culls anything first, but it's doable.

>I'd like a comprehensive database before I run any script that culls anything first
Perfectly understandable. It's better to have a few things doubled rather than cutting something unintentionally.
>>
>>41734986
I'd appreciate if you add a searchable list of all tags, like on boorus.
>>
>>41734986
Also can you make it so when you click on the search field at the top it'd focus on the pop-up one so you can start typing right away without clicking one more time?
>>
>>41734986
One more thing, can you make greens and tags a proper links or something so they can be opened in the new tab by clicking middle mouse button.
>>
>>41735832
Twibooru bugreport: when I tag images and the mouse happens to be in a position where the suggested tag picker opens it automatically picks whatever tag the mouse is hovering over. Pretty annoying.

Last post I hope.
- Maybe tags on the green pages should be clickable too?
- Maybe there could be buttons to scroll pages all the way down and to the top for mobiletards and these lazy fags who don't want to press home/end buttons or move scrollbar manually?
- Dialogue in the quotation marks that comes after citing sign >"like this" doesn't render green, is it intended?
- Author names could be clickable too.
- Being able to sort greens by date/authors/title would be nice.
- Does login form supposed to do something or is it just a placeholder for now?
- If you intend to allow users to edit tags you'll have to make a guidelines for that, like, what should be tagged, what tags should be used and how. Looking at the tag guidelines on the boorus may help. Don't forget about tag alias so that newfags won't create hundreds of tags which basically mean the same thing. And there'd have to be a moderation of sorts to prevent fags from messing with tags.

This is probably a retarded question to ask but will the single-post shitpost greens that I wrote as well about for instance how much a mare enjoys fucking Anon because X and Y be archived too?
>>
>>41740222
The ultimate goal of the website is to archive *every single greentext* ever written, so yes as long as they're tagged with the appropriate tags, like "shitpost", "one-shot", etc.

I know I skipped a bunch of questions but I'm very busy with work at the moment so I'll get to answering them when I can. I figured I should answer this one quickly because I have a few minutes.
>>
>>41740463
This sounds absolutely retarded to automate, if you add all >greentexting to be scraped then you will have a 99% shit to 1% greens ratio. Green format stories originated out of the site, after greentexting was already heavily used without telling any story.

Probably the best course of action is to let people manually update greentexts and think about automation when the time comes.

They just want to completely get rid of ai stuff. Fucking retards.

As an AI artist myself, please consider how we don't need to import everything on Twib, this will be catastrophic and we don't need this. Like Anon said earlier this will flood the site, unless you set default filters.
So no, this is a terrible idea. Let us post on Twibooru as usual and what remains in Tantabus will remain in Tantabus.

I get it, hopping between multiple sites sucks. But that’s exactly why we need Tantabus for, a dedicated space for AI art where we don’t have to deal with trolls, hostility, or inconsistent rules like on Derpibooru, I'd also like it to be centralized but I'm not feeling much comfortable with Ponerpics, Twibooru and the other alts either.
Derpi’s Tantabus will definitvely not disappear, staying there means building a stable, supportive community where AI art is respected, not sidelined. Instead of fighting for scraps on sites that don’t want us, while really altboorus and others can also welcome some AI pony content but never go like we MUST centralize everything, just like foalcon, there's foalcon dot moe for this exact same reason.
>>
>>41749200
>have to visit 10000 places for pony content.
This is what pisses me off, segregation of an already dead fandom is retarded, and having to browse multiple sites for specific content sucks.
Despite what some may think, TSP and the derpi mods aren't against AI, they're just giving to the artists who keep moaning about AI being allowed on derpi.
They banned AI on derpi to satisfy the artists and end the constant DNPs.

Simple math, it takes hours for a drawfaggot to make an image, while it took only a few minutes for me to create a visual image. Twibooru can archive ALL of pony content, real content will be hard to find and even myself I never bothered with using any filter, I could miss something. I used to, then found myself liking what I filtered.
Don't force people into enjoying AI art, let them come, they are not ready for this. Also lot of my works are on Twib too.
>>
>>41749266
it isn't segregation when both artists and prompters _want_ this segregation.
Multiple sites. You can literally use two sites. Quit being a sperg.
Derpi did relocate AI to its sister site, let's just make an alternativre to Tantabus and that will be all set! But aggregating everything is the worst idea. If it weren't for boorus I would have to get on FurAffinity or E621 and go through thousands of dog cocks to get mares. And encounter some fluffy pony crap.
segmentation is good and keeps the fandom at peace, read, the migrants analogy.
>>
>>41749251
Okay derpitard, I bite.

Neither I want to use. Derpi is literal cancer, the other one just builds upon the already formed tumor.

Perfect analogy. AI have their OWN communities. Tantabus, purplesmart and a few boorus, we don't need that. If I want to find artists I will go to altboorus, if I wanna find Ai gems I can go to Tanta or 5, 6 other sites hosting them.
Go check the Ai art thread, there's links and everything.
Ai is fantastic but it's not the role of an art archive, fuck derpi but it had to be done.
Other boorus should consider this.

Man, I love you for the efforts you put for years on Twibooru, but If you’re even considering this, it shows you lack of understanding of both the communities and the purpose of altboorus.
These platforms should protect free speech but also protect artists in the same way AI-focused sites supports prompters. Mixing AI imagesinto a general archive creates unnecessary tension, as most members see it as out of place or even disrespectful. And even if it would be great to work together with artists, it is not going to happen, this isn't a care bears world, there is competition and you cannot change this.
AI art deserves its own dedicated space, where it can be appreciated for what it is without overshadowing or detracting from hand-drawn work.
Sites like Tantabus exist for this reason, have been done to prevent the downfall of Derpibooru and the faggots there know exactly what they are doing. Importing more AI content here would only worsen the divide and create a bad climate for everyone involved. A clear separation shows respect for both AI creators and traditional artists.
Everyone must know their place, so I'm the black grump who wants segregation. And it's not only about you, you all got to make the responsible choice and as an AI creator myself, who also love other art, let AI thrive in its own community while keeping altboorus focused on the artists they were built to support. In fact we don't even need Tantabus.
I'm for a strict segregation for now, until, I hope, one day, regular artists decide to unite. Right now, it's too soon. You all want things to speed up and live together, but it isn't that easy. We are way too different, and this only means a source of conflict, and we don't need this.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

That's two completely different things.
Yes I could filter AI. I don't want to switch filters all the time, and when I browse Ponerpics I expect to see art from humans, find an artist and discover more, commission them, share ideas, you can't do that with AI generated images. I like to look at them. I love generating AI stuff too, but even if I have the level, I do not want to post my gens on any booru.

The climate in the art community and artists right now is already more divised than MAGA and woke left. You say you use AI to an artist you like, he's going to punch you in the face verbally.
Same with us, there's AI creators who really do it because they're mad at artists.
Just leave us alone, we may create our own AI alternative to Derpi, I hope you guys will join, and I will be pleased to post my works there, but let's stop with the CoExIsT bullshit; it's eroding the core of the fandom.

>how's the financial situation of Twibooru going
Twibooru itself is out of donation money as of next month. I have money that I will continue to use to pay the server bills, so it's no in danger of dying or anything, but donations are always welcome to lessen the load on my own wallet.

I've read a bunch of the responses here with regards to Tantabus, they're all great. I'm going to discuss it more with Twifag and other staff before we make any concrete decisions. If it's imported, we will likely introduce new preset filters for people who don't want to see it.
>>
>>41749660
Also ask about what you would think about an alternative to Tantabus, a place of our own without TB's restrictions, and a better name.
Something like Sweetiebooru, all styles allowed, no limits, no control, complete freedom, no trolling, only honest comments.

That would be kino, what do you think?

Is it really a good idea to even further segment the community? I feel like it would just add to the problem; now we've got two extra sites instead of just one.

Make a poll on twibooru and see for yourself what people who actively use the site think.

You can even open the discussion thread on the forums, you do remember that's a thing, right? And that's what it was designed for, to discuss thing like this. Not everypony who uses twibooru uses 4chan too, I think I saw a post regarding that on some image a while ago. I just don't understand why'd use only use 4chan to discuss such an important topic.

Lol, lmao. Twibooru and Ponerpics are "pirates in the dark", according to ponybooru's tech admin. They allow DNP'd and paywalled content. TB don't even respect artist's pseudonyms. TB and poner are viewer-first, not artist-first.

The question is, should viewers who shit and piss themselves over AI be protected? I'd personally say not, since appealing to filterlets is what led to derpigate in the first place.

Also, on the tagging issue: I've corrected tags on countless pics, and very few of them have been AI. Seems to me like not being a stuck-up artist increases the chances that you'll properly tag your stuff, rather than not even bothering to mark your shit as anthro when it is.

Sad but true, hence a reason for keeping it aside but another thing being, some people are using AI and not tag it AI. Like some guy who draw crappy ms-paint and ponytown screencaps will suddenly come up with art that looks like JohnJosesco or Atryl. This is dishonest, and that's why I'm for the separation.

>>41750607
I keep seeing these, AI generated images to look like tradi art tagged as traditional art, then later you see the AI assist thing, and so on, and so on. And they re-tag traditional art. Derpimods doesn't even care about it but they do make a business on AI. AI sells to idiots who cannot recognize a scam and there's a LOT of those. Why should I care? It's not legit art, YWNBAA. Do that wherever you want but not on a site like ponybooru, let's keep an eye on that, mods can't do all of the work.

Tags exist for searching stuff, not for social justice. Ask yourself: by removing those tags, can those AI-generated images in simulated traditional art style be found? And in reverse, if you leave those tags, can non-AI traditional images be found by using search query?
Anyway, digital images in traditional-like style are nothing new, it existed for literal decades. AI is tangetional to the question. How they were tagged?

Y'know that images are uploaded by users, not by AIs, artists or "AI-artists"? Taggers are also users. Often they're even paywalled content (yes, AI-generated images can be behind a paywall, too).
Tagging does not care about any of that. If it looks traditional, there must be a tag for it. Your inability to choose the tag is (your) problem, has nothing to do with artists, AIs, digital art, or anything else.
>>
>>41751311
>If it looks traditional, there must be a tag for it.
The traditional art tag, by definition, is art that wasn't created digitally. What it looks like is irrelevant.
>>

Removing those tags without replacing them was a mistake. Either leave it as-is without removing it, or add "traditional style" or "traditional-like", or something. Look up the convention yourself, you're not twelve anymore. And if convention is just tagging them as traditional, open discussion about separating scans/photos from traditional-like digital art and fictional traditional art, instead of doing vandalism.

Poner importer does not import images that were imported to Twibooru from other boorus. Otherwise there would be an infinite import loop, considering that poner's deduplication sucks, and Twibooru optimize images differently from normal boorus, changing file hashes.
>>
>>41755936

This is why dedup sucks. Should not be done by file hash, instead it should be done by hashing the rendered image pixels.

Why would the second option be better ?
>>
>>41757669
Because the file hash is unreliable. If you add for example metadata the hash will differ yet the image is the same. Or if the image is optimized (eg different png encoding).
>>
>>41758078
To be fair, JPEG's decoding is not deterministic, according to standard. So if you change JPEG decoder, all pixels will also be changed.

So there are different roles: User, Assistant, Moderator, Admin. And users with those roles have permissions that can be enabled or disabled. Specifically users with 'User' role can have bulk tag editor permission enabled. Users with 'Assistant' role can have image merges permission enabled, etc.
>>
>>41758926
Why did you use an external script then? I thought twibooru has it's own tool for that. Or you mean a user can ask for cooldowns to be disabled for him server-side, but in order to use a bulk tag editor twibooru has one would need a higher role?

what i would code is an image fingerprinting, create a matrix that samples the colors at different points.

convert each points of a given image at any resolution into codes to characters and you have with that example a 16 character string. add a little tolerance because many images that are uploaded have little variations due to a JPEG vs a PNG, a different lighting or colors being a bit offset due to like; a file conversion - mostly a color profile or a CMYK to RGB conversion, things like that.

there, you can program if size bigger then accept image as "file has been updated" else return error "file already exists" but gotta consider more points in case of an alteration or an edit that would go through that grid. then it is about technical capabilities of the server, i'm sure it can handle a 256 instead of 16. also on the favs, make a merge when the update is done.


or; do the basic for most, 16x16 or something, and when a duplicate is found, detect the pattern with more samples.

eventually i'm sure we could detect and autotag characters with enough tolerance to shadings, ambient colors and more if we have a solid DB. but that's another thing, no need for ML algorithms.
>>
>>41759132
What you want to solve is a different problem. You are trying to solve image similarity, but we were talking about simple deduplication. Aka uploading the same image twice, just for example one is using png compression level X while the other uses Y. File hash differs, yet the image is the same. Here a hash of the rendered content is perfect, fast, quickly searchable (and indexable).

For image similarity:
Naive approach. What you described won't work properly, there will be many many edge cases. Plus its simply not searchable efficiently.
What you need to do is write an encoding which encodes an image into a higher dimension vector (normalized, 64-256 dimensions depending the number of images) in a way that vectors of different images are 90 degrees in this higher dimensional space and similar images have this angle as close as 0 degree as possible (0 if same). Searching this is fast (DBs have a specialized type for this). This is also how face recognition works on a large scale.
>>
>>41759132
>>41759211
It should use a pattern despite the angle, and it may skip little edits.
Isn't there some free software on github or stackoverflow to do that job?

Costs too much CPU time. Imagine having to compare 3 million thumbnails, even at low res. Dot product is cheap, fixed length and the vector processing instructions do it in a single instruction.

That's already how reserve search works on Philomena/BoR, Anon. We're talking about the exact hash, so it world filter out exact duplicates, with no ambiguities. The point is automatic refusal of duplicates, with no false-positives.

I should catch up on my linear algebra to understand this better.
>>
>>41760122
If one pixel differs, then that's a different image based on this content hash.

But again, the point here is not image similarity but preventing import loops. If booru A optimizes the image one way, booru B optimizes in another and then we try to import both a simple file hash would differ but the rendered image is the same.

>>41760145
Imagine it as a cube. In 3 dimensions you can point to any two faces from the center and these vectors will be 90 or 180 degree apart. You have 6 of these vectors in 3D. In 4D you have 24, in 5D 240, and so on. With a sufficiently large space (eg 256 dimensions) in theory you can assign each image a different vector in a way that the vectors of any two images are at least 90 degree apart. Search for "cosine similarity". Pretty simple concept.
Hard part is the encoding algorithm, but that's what neural nets are for. Thinking about it tagging an image could be considered the same. The tags selects the vector. But imagine if you had tags for extremely abstract concepts.

Not sure that Derpi would be a great place to advertise. NHNB is basically a spin off of sorts from 4chan.

Assuming that they wouldn't be immediately put off by being restricted to pony. In any case it doesn't seem like it will be seen by too many, which is perhaps for the best. It might be nice to have a few more people browsing NHNB, but really it's targeted at a subset of /mlp/.

Nice bump, Anon
Just what we needed

Someone I know recently started running his own private booru on millions of scraped deviantart images. Now I don’t visit this thread at all and know next to nothing about what it takes to run boorus, but I thought a couple of the stuff planned or already being used felt pretty cool to me. Would anyone be interested if I try to describe a couple of these features? I just skimmed this thread and it might be using a couple of things already discussed here like vector embeddings for image similarity search or auto tagging for images. So it’s probably nothing new to you guys, but I can’t see it going public any time soon and not sharing at least a bit of what has been tried feels wasted.

Posting after bump limit as I don’t want to draw attention to it if there’s no interest.
