Lemmy and Federated social media is growing due to increased AI slop in mainstream media. Perhaps it's time to remove said AI slop from the many banner and icon images across the instance? (sh.itjust.works)

The images were always placeholders while SJW started growing anyway.

I'm in favor of individual communities making that decision for themselves, but it would be cool if there were any artists and graphic designers (even just people who are legit decent as a hobby, not comic sans graphic design is my passion) willing to donate their time to make that happen.

Here in the Agora is a good place to start. We could pass around a hat and pay for it, or wait for someone to volunteer. Or we could just decide the AI banner and icon are fine for now.

Just FYI for anyone reading this, "SJW" stands for the "Sh.itJust.Works" instance of Lemmy that the Agora is part of, not "Social Justice Warrior" which was the first thing that came to my head. Hopefully this prevents some misunderstandings. You're welcome!
