An uncertain future (recent changes to civ)

As most have probably already seen, civitai has made changes to blue buzz making it SFW only which forces people to use yellow buzz to make anything considered NSFW, making blue buzz useless for generating NSFW content. This really hurts the users who can't or don't want to buy buzz, and not everyone has the time or PC specs to run local generation either.

It frustrates me to see things go down this way, coming from someone who found this site on a whim in late 2023 with basically zero knowledge of AI image generation to figuring out how local generation works with relative success, all while experimenting with different ideas for fun or browsing the site and finding posts by other users with similar interests.

I never really expected to gain as many followers as I have and really appreciate everyone who's stuck around while finding stuff they liked in my variety of posts, (also I will continue making posts as usual). A big thank you to my followers and everyone that's inspired me or who I have inspired to make content and to fellow users who still generate, stay strong out there.
