Especially bad because she only joined in the first place after I begged her to for weeks.
@finn honestly, the attitude that absolutely everything has to be cited or OC is profoundly annoying.
Some people like to point at infamous Twitter accounts (Archillect) that just repost content found from somewhere else, as if it were a terrible crime, and the only way to have sanctity is to either be absolutely original or be exhaustive in one's references.

@finn Wow. Let me know when its up, might join. #heckOffMemePolice
Tried to get my partner into Mastodon, but the cybre.space admins threatened to delete most of her posts because she didn't cite the original author of the random memes that were obviously impossible to determine the original source of. Pretty disappointed in the way it was handled TBH. More motivated than ever to start my own server.
