I was looking around, and realised we don’t have a single functioning equivalent to r/PhotoshopBattles. On a quick search:
- !photoshopbattles@lemm.ee - Completely empty and unmoderated
- !photoshopbattles@lemmy.world - Dormant for 2 years (with a mod who hasn’t posted or commented on lemmy in 2 years)
- !photoshop_nonsense@suppo.fi - Finnish instance, but the newest post is from 6 months ago
- !imageedits@lemmy.zip - Dormant for 2 years (mod dormant for 1 year)
We should revive the lemm.ee instance, but imo there is merit to starting afresh with a name that isn’t tied to a proprietary closed-source piece of software, like image edits or editbattles
If there’s anyone who’s interested, please take it up. I don’t mind being a mod, but I can’t be the main (let’s be real, sole) contributor right now. I’ve got my hands full with !fakealbumcover@lemm.ee, and that’s just putting text on images, not even close to realistic edits like this demands.
I think how open ended it is matters, as well as how quickly you can look at an image vs read a submission. Even on r/writingprompts, I always read a few and then moved on, while I could keep going on and on on PSBattles, because each image was just a glimpse and what they did with it was so different (at least it felt like compared to how writing prompts usually went). And personally, I agree about pivoting to a generic name.
