🌸✨ just art ; and a tip for artists 👇

Lemon 8 took down this post 3-4 times all bc I said it was an aNgẽł … clearly it’s only *artwork* of an angeł.

Supposedly in the guidelines we aren’t suppose to allude to things that don’t exist? Or humanize things such as animals or inanimate objects? Read these guidelines through, my friends. Some are… super strange considering the amount of hate speech and discrimination in some areas of Lemon8; yet these posts are never taken down.

So, for artists, it seems we can’t mention aliens, or anything divine unless we play with the spelling. (Ex: Angel becomes aNğèľ ; alien becomes äļïèn)

And PSA ; using foreign language as a loophole will fail - I tried that after they first removed it and it was taken down within an hour.

Yet Christians can talk about their philosophy all day? Not saying things aren’t divine but I’m not understanding the double standard.

... Read moreCreating art in a digital space often brings challenges, especially regarding content guidelines. It's essential for artists on platforms such as Lemon8 to understand the limitations and expectations set forth. The post discusses common restrictions like the prohibition on mentioning divine entities or extraterrestrial beings in straightforward terms. To communicate creatively, artists are often forced to adopt alternative spellings and expressions—like transforming 'angel' into 'aNğèľ'—to bypass strict moderation rules. These nuances highlight the broader conversation about artistic freedom and the subjective nature of content moderation. Moreover, the platform’s inconsistent approach—allowing specific perspectives while restricting others—fuels debates around fairness. As artists navigate these complexities, engaging with their audience, and fostering meaningful discussions regarding these practices is vital. Sharing experiences with content creation, especially in challenging environments, enables a supportive community for all creators. Artists are encouraged to stay informed about the guidelines and share their artistic journeys authentically while remaining respectful of the platform's policy constraints. By fostering open dialogues, we can contribute to a more transparent and equitable creative ecosystem.

Art Tip
Art appreciates over time. It is an investment you can see, feel, and own! It can be put into a trust, passed down, and more. If you find a piece of art you like, invest in it like you would a bag or shoes! Trust me. #art #artist #artwork #artistsoflemon8 #fyp Charlotte
