but joy and meaning can be

found despite it all

This may have just started as a personal thing. Wanting to encourage the person making it to go outside and enjoy it

But then everyone realized they wanted to go out.

We don't go outside a lot these days because the neighborhood looks too much all the same and it sucks, but these people made ome little improvement and everyone started to enjoy it

There's something crazy touching about that

And it wasn't just a hit with a single group of people- There were couples, there were single people, there were groups of friends; There were elderly folks, adults, and kids and toddlers making use of it

Hell the POSTMAN who comes by for mail, sat on it in the video.

Its just a win. Its the most whplesome net positive ever

comes by for mail, sat on it

in the video.

“my heavy heart is too much for you.”

The ocean molded this clump of bricks into a rock shape

rock has returned to the wild

and become feral

AO3 has recently seen a rise in guest spambot comments making false accusations about work creators or other users. For example, they may claim that a particular user is discriminating against minorities, trying to hide the fact that they use AI, or are at risk of having their works stolen or deleted.

These comments often copy existing AO3 usernames in order to make their accusations seem more legitimate. They may also try to lure people onto other platforms (similar to the art commission scam), or use fake links that actually lead to pornographic images.

As always, we recommend that you do not click on any suspicious links or give your contact information to scammers. Instead, simply mark the comments as spam or report them so that the Policy & Abuse committee can remove comments left by these spambots.

Learn how to recognize them and what to do below the cut!

threatening to report you/your fic to the authorities or your employers

alleging security concerns like your email being compromised or spyware on your computer

claiming that they know your address and are going to visit you at your house

saying that you will die alone and unemployed over the holidays

What these bots claim is not true. These accusations do not mean your work will be deleted or that your accounts are insecure. We recommend that you mark these comments as spam following the instructions in our previous post.

These examples also do not represent the full range of harassment comments that you may receive. We will continue to try and keep you updated about trends; however, please note that the exact wording the bots use will continue to evolve.

Paste em on, x-acto em out. Make em reusable!

Examples:

to clarify, this didn’t happen to me. I found it on twitter and it made my blood boil

by the way, if you talk like this to a stranger in real life, you might get a black eye. I don’t condone violence, but sometimes if you fuck around, you’ll find out. it’s one thing to joke like this with your friend, someone you’re close with. but a stranger? know your boundaries.

Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.

“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.

graphic depictions of violence

major character death

underage

rape/non-con

There could be all 4.

There could be none.

There could be “Does it count as Major Character Death if the character is already dead at the start, then returns as a ghost, and fades by the end?” or other things where the author wasn’t sure if an Archive Warning applied or not.

To Warn” means there may or may

not be anything.

And, in AO3 Edit tags section, I found this:

And in the middle of those, this one:

I hope this helps to anyone who needs it, but we gotta admit the wording of both options is a bit too similar at first glance.

Maybe I'm too noob and I don't have all the knowledge so probably that's on me, and I appreciate the detailed info on AO3's page, but damn it wasn't exactly easy to find lol, no wonder these kind of things happen from time to time
