It is also full of accounts with thousands of followers that post other’s people work, which I still feel uneasy about. Rather than giving credit to the creators, they post the images directly to drive traffic to their own accounts. Fortunately, this seems to be less of a problem in Mastodon than it was in Tumblr back then.
@imbrium_photography@vivibene1 If curators consistently credited creators, then it would be clear that posts without credit would be from creators. Since this doesn't happen (and likely never will), I tag my posts with #OC (which stands for "original content", a convention widely used in Reddit).
@mateodelarioja@vivibene1 Thanks for that, I wasn't aware there was already a convention in place (I'm farily new to Mastadon). I'll add #OC to my posts from now on !
Part of the problem may be that curators are collecting from other curators so it only takes one step in the chain to miss attribution ...
