Mod Lists for Human Artists. Managed by a human. We have rearranged our lists, please check if you are subbed only to the ones you need. Only accepting removal requests you are added by mistake (Reply to the Removal Request post)
Afraid that the humor of this joke is subjective.
Would you be able to find working artist friends to vouch for you?
It wouldn't be fair to the artists using the list if I removed you just because you claim your post is a joke. This applies to the OP and people who liked both posts as well.
Hi, you were added to the list on the day this reply was made. The original poster, as well people who liked both posts, were also added. bsky.app/profile/simp...

We will only accept requests if you do not fit the description of the list you're in. If you are found to fit the description in the list, we will not respond to you. If you have multiple accounts, all of them may be in the same list even if only one fits the list description. Aware of genAI issues but don’t know that you have posted genAI content? Please have someone more experienced in identifying them help you.
Please reply to this post if you have been added to our list by mistake. We will check it once a month. This post will be active until June 2026. Replies to previous Removal Request post are now disabled.
Please note that we do not respond to tags and DMs.
We will remove this pinned post, so the next removal request post will be pinned instead.
If you have been using our lists before February 2025, please do take note of the changes.
Additionally, we have repurposed the empty lists for our own use so please ensure you aren't subscribed to them.
Thank you so much for the shoutout and tutorial!
While you’re at it, do check out the lists made by accounts we follow! Very often, the people who we add into our lists are already in mod lists from others.
Merry Christmas to artists & artist supporters!
If you're looking for moderation lists to prevent interactions with Gen AI users, please feel free to have a look at ours!
Please read the descriptions of each list to decide if they suit your needs.
Hello, we have removed you. When we added you, it is when we were looking for the “Put your bio in AI” trend posts. From your following list, there are a few people who took part in it. You might have interacted with those posts, and if not, it is our mistake and we are sorry about it.

New request removal post for June and July.
Still not too active but we'll try to check the replies every couple of weeks.
Noticed an error in our list description. In our "Trad Artists" list, we mentioned generative artists are "included" in the description. We might have meant "excluded". Generative art is not genAI. To avoid confusion, we'll be taking that sentence off.
Still on break. Just dropping in to check for requests, since it's been a full month. Please continue to refer to the above post if you qualify for a removal. Also, we realized we left out editing our bio to mention our break, so apologies for any confusion.
Hi, sorry about that. It seems I added you into the Light AI list due to a misinterpretation of a post where you were mocking the ghibli trend. I've removed you from that list. However, since you are knowledgeable in AI/Tech, I've placed you in a list for Tech Researchers.
Hi, taken you off. Based on when you were added in, it might be from participation in the ghibli/action figure trend. However, the only image you have that vaguely resembles AI right now is of a muppet which may not be how we found you, as it has no description. If this was a mistake, I apologise.
Graphic with only text. It reads: Taking a break. Not sure for how long. We’re disabling DMs. If you have a removal request, please reply under this post. We’ll check them when we return. After the break, we will no longer respond to removal requests if a user is found to fit the description of the lists they are placed in. They will be ignored completely and may be blocked if insistent. Our lists are made for artists who are against art theft and unethical genAI use. If you are close to an artist or non-artist with these beliefs, please have them check through your account and ensure it meets the criteria for us to remove you. Please note that being in a list does not automatically block you from your audience. Lists are optional for anyone to use. If your primary audience accepts what you post, there is little chance they will use our lists. (for example, if a person follows a NSFW account, they will not use a NSFW moderation list, unless they are at work) We also want to be clear that we are not a center for information or debate. We only manage lists. To learn about the ethics and impacts of genAI and how to spot genAI images, we recommend finding youtube videos on the topic. They are often easy to understand, and you can find numerous comments and perspectives under each video. Thank you for reading. See you.
We're taking a break. DMs will be disabled.
If you have a removal request, please reply under this post.
We’ll check them when we return.
There will also be changes to the way we handle requests.

This list will stay for now and I prefer not to have anymore discussions. However if you no longer fit the description in the list, please send us a DM(we don't get notified when listed users comment on posts). We have our differences but I wish you well.
I placed you in the list after finding the action figure post. The Musk and golf images will be too lengthy to discuss but in short, a composite can be made of multiple images without AI and AI images can be edited in photoshop.
I’m sorry you’re going through a lot. The reason why we have separate lists for AI instead of grouping it altogether is to give those who dislike AI a choice which groups they prefer to mute/block. My hope is that those who still want to see political content will avoid using the list you’re on.
Out of these four, only the first looks AI. The second is likely from The Matrix, the third is hand drawn and the fourth is likely a composite image.
This ice cream could be AI. It looks impossible to scoop, the ground tiling isn't uniform, and his arm isn't fully drawn bsky.app/profile/just...
I'm sorry I don't have a good video to recommend for spotting AI images, but you can try finding those on your own
We tend to look for distortions in bodies, symmetry, details in clothing and patterns. For this, the body and clothes are fine, but the drinks are different and the windows might be a little crooked. It's not enough to be completely sure, but it does make you question 'why are they that way?'
Hi, thanks for asking & sharing your viewpoint. People not recognising AI images is something we worry about. They are indeed hard to spot and even those of us who are accustomed to seeing them can miss them. Your pinned post with the statue of liberty is a good example of one that’s hard to spot.
Small updates:
We are placing the majority of users we find participating in current genAI image trends into our 'Light AI' list.
Internal Use lists: We are reusing both of our previously emptied lists for internal purposes. Please unsubscribe to them if you happen to still use them.
Hey artists, we haven't mentioned this before but you can let us know if there's anyone you would us to add to our lists. We prefer DMs to avoid post clutter and public arguments. Please send us the post(Bluesky only) that showed you that a person is dismissive of artists.
Since this account is primarily for mod lists, please refrain from discussion. We prefer to keep our posts to a minimum so visitors can easily find updates about our lists. These video recommendations are only meant to help inform those who are previously not aware of the issues creatives face.

Got it, but please be careful as 'for fun' can be interpreted differently by others. Those who oppose unethical AI would usually use it to test for proof that it's trained off existing IP, or understand what they're up against, at least that's how I see it.
Hi, you are on our Light AI list, which is specifically for low quantity AI content. You've made it clear you don't support AI, so we'll remove you, but your experiments do personally give us mixed signals(seems like you test them for fun rather than to discourage) but otherwise we think you're ok.
Thanks for the mention! We actually just started working on this list. If you want a larger list, you can look at this one bsky.app/profile/notk...
