A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.

While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

I’m curious if this is a “dogs” community vs a “bad clip art” community?

Is this a community for sharing dogs? Or an avenue for anyone to shit out dog-adjacent crap that is unmistakeable from clip art????

And keep in mind… A single “bad clip art” rule can change this community… while opening the door to shitty doodles that tangentially reference dogs, all while claiming bad clip art makes up a dogs community.

Suddenly this /c feels like an AI cuddle pic community, not ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with ACTUAL DOGS.

Curious, do you want to see people’s dogs? You know, animals with a history, personality etc…. Or should this be a community of folks looking at cutesy hallmark clipart?

Most people would just down vote something they didn't like and move on.

They did that, then started to rant under a > 1 month old post and then made a new post with the same content as the rant. Likely so more people can see it.

I always have a lot of respect for people that post exactly 0 content, don't moderate any community and then still expect everyone to cater to their needs and preferences ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

And if they're talking about the posts I think they're talking about, I'm even more confused! They posted I think twice in the past week?
