ER? This doesn't look like the Elden Ring character creator. With that chest scar I'm pretty certain this is from Dragon's Dogma 2.

Either way that's a great Lord Farquaad.

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.

I 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.

There's this one in Mississippi but as stated in the article:

a preliminary report released earlier this week by the Bolivar County Coroner's Office "indicates no evidence of foul play."

Though I and others are skeptical of that initial report.

I haven't heard of any other lynchings.

Link for those that haven't seen it. It's such a beautiful song and a cute music video.

For 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.

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.

No need to be sorry. I'd step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.

Plus this isn't the first time a post with an AI image has gotten this kind of response. I just copy-pasted the same comment I made the last time this happened.
