He was a minor and seemed to have more business sense than any of them.

The /r/StableDiffusion subreddit appears to skew younger, surprisingly. Open source AI art has likely been the biggest catalyst of getting teenagers interested in computer science/machine learning in years.

Or art, since there’s a new way to express yourself through a novel medium

I recently posted on a subreddit that has the name of a big company.

The post became popular.

I could not believe my eyes, when some hours later, the post was edited.

I have never seen that before. Mods cannot edit users posts, right? Do some companies have superpowers on their sub, or did they reach out to Reddit to change the post?

> So Discord can just take servers from people and give them away to corporations without asking?

He never had a "server". Just like no one has a Facebook "server". Discord is a corporation not a person. Communities run by corporate services are different than servers run by human persons. You give up everything when you don't actually host your own server(s) for communicating with your community.

I'm guessing that by choosing to respect the wishes of artists, stability has formed direct lines of contact with institutions (understandably) in favor of the status quo for art. Politics, to a degree.

I respect the initial decision, but this is all a bit much.

(pure speculation btw)
