Is the sh.itjust.works server's landing page image AI? Should it be replaced with human art?
(sh.itjust.works)
Because I'd guess it is--a covered teacup with a misplaced handle, random "generic devices" scattered about, cables that go nowhere....
Any interest is an open call for a replacement image for the server?
Something to remember is that the Threadiverse runs on unpaid labour. Someone donating their time to create art is no different to someone donating their time to run the server or develop Piefed ot whatever.
There's unlikely to be any exposure from the art anyway, so any artist should only do it because they want to contribute to the ecosystem not because they think they will receive exposure in lieu of payment.
There's a difference between offering your own labor for free and asking others to donate their time for "exposure".
There's no exposure, you're the one suggesting that is the payment but no one is offering exposure, they are asking for volunteer help to contribute to a volunteer run ecosystem.
Many instances ask people to give their labour for free without waiting for someone to offer. Lemmy.world ran a full interview process to appoint volunteer admins.
