Beforehand:
Hello kiddos, this is a more in-depth report from the one we made [here] about the up and growing agere creator Kodaswrld. I found their[i cant remember their pronouns rn] blog a few months ago, and absolutely fell in love. I loved their dividers, their text posts, and all the freestyling on their blog!
⁺ ◍ . ⁺ ☆ ⁺ . ◍ ⁺
September:
On september 10th, 2024, we created a post called "Agere Backpack ideas"! The next day [Sep 11th, 24], while scrolling through a creator i also thoroughly enjoy, i saw a post they had reblogged.... It was our backpack ideas, but it wasnt written by me... in fact, it was re-uploaded by someone who i thought created interesting content.
I commented under the original post to take it down as we did not consent to our work getting re-uploaded. They deleted our comment. A few days later after fd calmed me from my panic attack, we sent an ask to take down our post as we did not consent to our content being reposted. At the start of our blog, i did have "do not rewrite" on our blog, however because nothing ever happened, i took it away when we changed into the space station nursery. They deleted our ask. a week or more later [unfortunately i dont remember at this point anymore] They closed asks under the guise of "getting hate"
⁺ ◍ . ⁺ ☆ ⁺ . ◍ ⁺
Current:
After everything happened, fd scoured around to create a blacklist. At this time, i had finally calmed down, and was ready to blacklist. Before we got to it tho, i saw a post created by another agere creator in which Koda had stolen from. This creator asks that all followers or people interacting report if their content was being reposted, as koda had taken one of their posts, and it got SIGNIFICANTLY more notes, as well as Koda copying their DNI banner, just changing the font and small images on the side:
Original post that Koda stole, at the time, post had at max 200 notes, minimum 150. OP name and pfp covered for privacy
Copied post made by Koda. Notice the amount of notes it has [if you check] 740 notes
---
This is not the only instance of this happening with Koda, and no "but they add credits" is not a viable defense here. We did not tell them they could do this, and they did not ask, by the looks of all posts, they didnt ask ANYONE to use their posts. The little credits at the bottom is also hard to see, especially by those who are visually impaired. I had an almost blind friend check out their post, and that friend couldnt even see the credits without us zooming in and circling it for the friend to see. Thats a problem. And people who see it but dont think much of it [like me] will not click the credits. I didnt. and i apologize to those whom i contributed to as apart of the problem
⁺ ◍ . ⁺ ☆ ⁺ . ◍ ⁺
So what else needs to be discussed?
Well, before we get to the NSFW they interact with, lets go with the tracing and stealing. Thank you to the person that sent us this [will not name for the safey of the individual but they are free to comment and let you guys know! They sent a non anonymous ask but still, yknow?]
So-.... Proof?
This is a screenshot sent to us that shows a user by the name of @/b4bybear_ , crediting their BF and CG @/SEABUNE for creating an image we all know and love, and have MOST LIKELY SEEN amongst agere intros [all blue markings have been made by me]
As you can see in the second image, the user is written on the bottom, exactly how its written on the twitter post. This image is widely available, and many many individuals use it.....
However, Koda didnt seem to care
As you can see, Koda NOT ONLY traced, changed a singular item, and erased the original creators credits, they then wrote their own name on the bottom and claimed this post as their own. And no, changing one thing on an art post while still tracing everything else is not "creating your own content" or "taking inspo" This is blatant copying. This is further than just stealing text posts, they are stealing
ART from other sources [nsfw below]
⁺ ◍ . ⁺ ☆ ⁺ . ◍ ⁺
And now, the NSFW....
Kodaswrld does have their following open, meaning that littles, middles, and anyone visiting their blog can see who they interact with. These are some of the blogs they currently follow, and content they post/reblog:
@/slvttyfied
@/firstladyofjuicycouture12
Whilst being 18+, there is nothing wrong with interacting and following NSFW content and blogs. However if you are running a blog with a minor following [not small amount of people, minors. people 17 and under] you should not have your follows seen if you are interacting with this kind of content. Minors are curious, and you are exposing them to things they do not yet need to see or know about. Especially when kinks/hard kinds are involved. I am 21 and fd is 22. We will NEVER, allow nsfw blogs or rebloggers to interact with our content
⁺ ◍ . ⁺ ☆ ⁺ . ◍ ⁺
Final thoughts:
Through our mini blacklist, we have found out that koda knows what they are doing, and are actively avoiding discussing it. We also learned that they ship real people [called rps or "real people shipping"], and for having almost 800 followers, do not deserve it. Please, spread this far and wide, show your friends, you moots, reblog it even if it doesnt fit your aesthetic. This person NEEDS to be stopped.
starting the move!! so this is pretty much an archive now
if you’re 20+ years old(it’s not ñsfw or anything this is just a personal boundary for my comfort) or if we’ve talked before and you’d like my new blog feel free to send me a DM and i’ll give it to you c:

op you are honestly bordering on cruel and really fucking weird for this. me when i spread misinfo on the internet
so. like. for starters. people who are homeless and in poverty can have access to social media. Palestinians have technology, and some have access to eSims which is why those are so important to donate and they help Palestinians keep in contact with family and loved ones.
i don't know what part of undergoing a genocide instantly removes your access to the phones or technology you had before? as highlighted by others in the reblogs, you can still have access to technology and social media while in poverty, while suffering from genocide and starvation.
"omg guys i'm so smart they are using the internet they're on Tumblr 😭...like Obviously they're lying" like wow. that's kind of the opposite of common sense. idk. they don't confiscate your phones when you become homeless or poor.
and it's one thing to personally believe this but it's another to come online and preach it to your followers and anyone else who will listen by spreading blatant fake info. like if you're going to be stupid keep it to yourself. no one is holding you at gunpoint forcing you to answer these asks in your inbox.
some of them are scammers this is true you need to be careful and aware of which ones you share. however you just have to check the blog and search if they are properly vetted [the vetting process regards to very specific blogs having verified that they are in fact a real person who actually need help] or by doing a quick search for any posts with their username in it to see if they have been disproven as a scam. if you can't find something and are not sure you are not forced to reblog it. i have gotten some that are not real, however some of them are in fact real. there is a specifically list of vetted fundraisers. in fact here's a masterpost provided by @/el-shab-hussein that discusses vetting, and has access to the link to the google spreadsheet that has hundreds of vetted fundraisers and their campaigns.
i have a vague feeling this is related to the anti-Palestine and donation focused smear campaign shit that has been going down recently across the internet and Especially on tumblr but like yeah. whatever. my two cents & knowledge on it all sorry if i'm being mean but you can't come on here and say weird shit like this.
as other people are saying. please don't fall for fearmongering.
i’ve had this blog for like over 7 years, probably longer but 7 years is when i remember rlly getting into using it
im still into this aesthetic and vibe and am not looking to like change my online presentation
but idk my views and what i’m comfortable with have changed so much. i was like 18/19 and now im almost 26 and i just have so much gunk stuck up in this blog from all the time passed. feeling more and more inclined to get rid of it but change is ahhh
it’s gonna be slow and i don’t think i’m gonna deactivate, just make this an archive. but ya i came up with a cute idea to keep my interests more separated and organized and also just be able to implement my boundaries better
gonna be hard to say goodbye to this blog but i know it’ll be good :)

reposting just to comment since it’s turned off butto be fair if your homeless and or in poverty you can still use your phone talking from experience and other peoples- they still have accesss to it
but the main thing is that it is very, very possible to be homeless and need help and still have access to a phone and/or the internet
please don’t listen to people like OP. make your own decisions about how to interact with this situation based on research. but do not listen to this kind of awful fear mongering from a literal 19 year old please<3
More than one(pls put your choices in tags or comments)
Something else(pls put what you’d like to see in tags or comments)

I rlly love crocheting but it can be hard to think of what to work on and i also end up with lots of crocheted items just sitting around so ive thought about maybe selling things
but idrk what people would be interested in and i dont rlly have a preference i like to make all types of things
so ya poll for curiosity thank you if you answer and double thank you if you spread w/ a reblog!
All the stuff you learn from your attempts at healthy coping doesn't get erased the moment you relapse. And you can use that knowledge to pick yourself back up and try again when you're ready. It's not a case of starting over from scratch, it's a case of stumbling and getting back up

I have noticed a huge rise in UNCREDITED and STOLEN works; it being art, edits, collages etc
Specially reposts on Tumblr and Pinterest
Examples:
*Original artists that had their work stolen: @regressionworldz and @cutiecorner
This post is a guide about internet etiquette and crediting
[Text ID: This post is a guide about internet etiquette and crediting. End ID]
1. How to NOT steal stuff!
Any work with the tag “Free to use” (also known as “F2U”) means that they are allowed to be reposted, used in collages, edits etc. Just check if credits are needed!
For Artworks:
Your first need to check if the artist allows reposting of their work or the use of them for collages, if they allow, then you link to their original post and state who drew the pics of art
For GIF’s + non-product photos:
Credit to the original post! Or at least as far back as you can find it!
Usually photos of products such as toys, plushies, accessories etc made by big brands are easy to spot and know where they came from (ex: blogs that post PNG’s usually don’t need to credit all their sources), but, small business/hand crafted works should always be credited!
Reposting moodboards:
Similar to artworks, first ask permission to repost, if allowed link to the original creator!
“But they said “no”!”:
Then don’t do it! Even with credits! Don’t do it! Is as simple as that! Respect others right to say no!
2. How do I identify stolen work?
There are many giveaways of stolen posts, such as:
• Low photo quality
• Watermarks that don’t match
• Lack of information about what was made (for who it was etc)
• Unable to answer simple questions such as what brush they used or long it took
Examples:
3. What do i do if my work was stolen?
1. Inform the person that it’s your work and to either remove it or credit them
2. If it’s still not credited or taken down, report their post
3. If the report didn’t go anywhere or if the account is still doing it to yours and others content, please make an awareness post about it. Strength comes in numbers after all!
4. Overall…
Let’s stop with this unpleasant and rude act of stealing others work!
I really hate to see that on our community, please, inform more people about it and report any acc that profits of others uncredited/stolen content!
Please note that this is a guide for complete beginners who have no idea how to get started on making moodboards. Only the very basics will be covered here.
Have you ever wanted to make a moodboard but didn’t know where to start? You have ideas but you have never edited a picture before? Can’t afford photoshop and don’t know how to use it? Look here, this guide is for you!
This guide includes: Free photoshop alternatives, where to find images, and basic tips and tricks to make your moodboard. Click the Read More below :)
so someone rbd my grumpy post abt ppl not sourcing their moodboard content(they deleted it before i could reply even tho i wanted to help :( ) and part of the tags they put on it was asking what there is to use for moodboards instead of pinterest
it made me think of a really amazing post i remember seeing here that was a whole list of resources for stim/moodboard creators to find content that could be sourced properly or was open use content, which i cannot find to save my life now
but this post also seems like it could be a really great resource so i wanted to share it. ofc its more in depth than just resources, and the “finding images” section is what’s relevant to the issue, but it seems like rlly awesome info all around for ppl that want to make boards!
I totally get the dentist anxiety! I usually listen to music and just wear an ear bud on whatever side the tech isn't sitting on (so I can still hear if they need me to reposition) but it signals to them that I don't really want to talk + calms me down!! I hope your appointment went okay and everyone was nice <3
thank you so so much you have no idea how much it means to me that someone understands and is willing to offer help<33
i feel so silly bc of course i got ready like 30 minutes before i had to go and had all my stuff to leave in a pile and i just kept checking on it until it was actually go time
and i managed to bring everything but the headphones🤦♀️
it was rlly hard at first but then i got a new dentist!! which would normally make me scared but she ended up being so nice like Pinkie Pie in human form just so nice and bubbly and made talking not so hard so ya it was a good first time alone c:
first time dentist appointment by myself without a social buffer like my mom or smth and i am so so so scared
there are so many steps and so much sensory differences and all the stuff tastes so gross and they try to talk to me while they’re doing stuff with my teeth and just ahhhhhhhhh :(((((jekekdjemee wnwnw
wild how you can be like hey you’re literally stealing peoples stuff to make your content please stop that
and then the response is yeah i know i really try but it’s just so hard to source stuff so 🤷♀️
if it is so so hard then stop posting moodboards. that’s it. it’s super easy. if they’re genuinely enjoyable for you to create, making them without sharing them on social media under your own name will still make you happy. make them and keep them to yourself.
but when you take others content share it here under your own name with the intention of getting attention and notes like that you are literally stealing and it doesn’t matter if you found it on pinterest and it has no source or whatever that still doesn’t make it right. just bc tons of people do a wrong thing it doesn’t turn it into a right thing.
stop making boards without sources. stop using pinterest to make boards. stop. stop. stopstopstopstop
