While it’s possible they don’t want reposts of any kind, I imagine people sharing their work with a link straight back to them is exactly what they want. As that is how they get eyeballs on their talent, and potentially work.
Pixiv, deviant, and other platforms have lots of users who pass the work of others as their own, or post a bunch of art entirely uncredited to amass followers. These people don’t want users finding the original artists, because they want users coming to them for more, not the arists.
This is not how I want art on the fediverse to work. Every post should immediately and conveniently allow someone to look up and support the original creator.
If and when an artist comes to me and wants their content removed from the moe communities, it will be done. That is another reason why I require everything be credited. It will allow me to find every post featuring the art of a particular artist.
Also “Don’t use my art.” is terribly vague. Even if you just linked to their art, the image preview would be visible on many platforms. If you dont want people to share the things you make, then dont upload them to the internet. Selling, transforming, claiming, etc is something else ofcourse.
it looks like this artist doesn’t want their art used, i would assume that means posting on other platforms too?
This person does comissions.

i totally understand and agree with your point/perspective, however i was simply pointing out what i saw in the case the OP here did not see that.
