@the_luck_witch Oh yes, I agree (read this thread mastodon.art/@reinderdijkhuis/ for more) and they backpedaled a lot since the original announcement. (src. deviantart.com/team/journal/UP ) but still, what a communication mess at the scale of a community. A big bullet in their own foot could have been avoided with more communication and a better default option right of the box.

Also, all my artworks from DeviantArt are easy to find on haveibeentrained.com/ , so I guess the evil is already done...πŸ˜”

@davidrevoy Yep, they definitely did perform a massive foot shooting. My friends mutual worded it as: "No matter how logical and well-intentioned the product was, no one could listen under the immediate fight-or-flight response this announcement created".

I don't have very impressive art on the site, but damn did I not go to specifically opt out all that I felt I don't want used for such a thing.

You could try a GDPR data deletion request. If enough people do that someone might sue them for their model. This site might help
