My Bio
name: Joseph aliases: zeruch, hank_kissinger, thelonius_funk, visceral_joe and various other names not fit for print. I do recommend that everyone get familiar with the FAQ/Helpdesk There is also the DA Status Forum (always informative), and the Etiquette Policy is something you should all refer to, because I do tend to lurk about in several of the public forums. ================================================================================ I have been described as an open source geek, a policy wonk, and even a bit of a creative illustrator (the latter being what folks here are most likely familiar with). All are at least partially true I suppose. http://www.josepharruda.com or find me on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@zeruch
I'm back to blogging (I'll syndicate to social media, but I'm quite done with the networks as a primary driver of anything, as the content management and putrefaction of it's loudest voices is now not so much jumped the shark, as much as murdered the shark and is wearing its skull like a codpiece).
So, how does one submit something for a print now. It really seems like every....single...goddamn...thing, on DA, is intentionally or ineptly, broken. I'd say it's dark pattern UX, but this seems so much more clumsy and poorly executed than planned. My god WIX, you were supposed to at least make things useful for selling art, and you can't get that sorted worth a half-damn.
Folks, the volume of #NFT style #scams here is starting to truly turdbloom. Here's the rub; don't buy into ANY of them without making them do a #KYC/AML financial check (either if you have the tooling yourself, or do a transaction through a VASP). If they are not willing to be transparent about their position and the quality of their wallet, assume bad intent. My guess is the brilliant "minds" at DA trust & safety are doing sod-all about this, so you should.
Ever wondered what it looks like when I doodle?
