Derpibooru has not started mass importing from Ponybooru

Hella misleading title that, that, based on the first few responses.

That was actually just me reposting some stuff I liked.
 
 
I’ll also take this moment to make it clear: I have not seen any evidence of Derpi’s staff being inconsistent, and if they were, they have already moved to clarify the rules to avoid that sort of issue in the future.
 
Aside from that, the rules appear identical to what they’ve always had and there has been no such “purge” like people here keep claiming. Most content I’ve seen removed been by artists jumping onto the Anti-Censorship bandwagon and, ironically, censoring themselves in a self-imposed purgatory.

For every anti-censorship artist, there’s 3 twittermites who DnP’ed because “muh nahtzees”
 
And I will criticise both groups equally. Whole thing was fng stupid

Actually, imma correct myself, the big artists from the anti-censorship group (only checked shino and anontheanon, as well as a couple smaller artists) didn’t ask for a takedown. I don’t have the full list of those artists on hand, but I don’t think too many actually had their art taken down. It’s mostly the other side that went nuclear with their art. I can’t actually think of an example of an anti-censorship artist who asked for their art to be nuked, though I’m sure there are some.

If you don’t want to see nazis in your feed: Use your fng filters or get out.
 
If you’re whining that you got banned for attacking people and posting anti-semetic slurs, get the fck out or post it to 4chan.
 
A website about cartoon ponies can be a place for civil discourse and the free posting of art without stoking a race war or going all Twitter-cancelcel-culture on people’s asses.

That is a fair point. I should probably clarify that I consider them putting themselves on the DNP list being as bad as calling a full takedown. Either way, they’re making it so other people cannot post to the platform, and indirectly keeping fans of their work from enjoying their art.

I can definitely understand where you’re coming from, though at the same time I can fully understand if an artist wants to use their art as leverage against derpibooru staff. So as long as there isn’t a clear “no censorship” statement from derpi’s owner, I suspect most of them won’t return.
 
I myself am tempted to rescind my DnP, simply because I don’t think my art is good enough as leverage, and you do have a point in that it is forcing censorship. But at the same time, I wouldn’t upload my art there, and I doubt anybody would care about uploading it in my stead anyway.
 
If you’re whining that you got banned for attacking people and posting anti-semetic slurs, get the fck out or post it to 4chan.
 
I don’t think most people are here because of that. Derpi’s staff do enforce rules selectively, and it’s this bias that bothers users. Coupled with that, there’s the issue of staff transparency that bothers many users as well. While the censorship issue was bad in its own right, it also showed just how terribly managed derpibooru is.

I got banned not one but more times for anything but posting real anti-semitic and racist posts.  
I’m here because of the bad moderation by the Derpistaff like most people, and if you don’t have seen evidence of that, it means you haven’t investigated enough or you just came to defend them.

Ok, intellectual honestly time here: I don’t think ANYONE is complaining about that.
 
I got comments removed for defending my good character against people calling me racist. Hell, I got a three day ban for it.
 
One time someone misquoted Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance to justify political violence against their opposition on the site. I posted a comment refuting that nonsense, claiming that the full context of the quote was not justifying what they where calling for, but was in fact a justification for censoring his own comment because he was calling for the exact kind of political violence and refusal to listen to loyal opposition that Popper was warning about.  
And my comment got deleted for that. I got censored for trying to claim that political violence is not acceptable, and not to smear a honourable philosopher’s good name to justify their own crimes.
 
I think you’ll find stuff like that is why I’m pissed at derpibooru’s mods. Their selective moderation of content on their site for what are clear ideological reasons.
 
I have in my possession, a few screenshots provided by Pagan_Pone that I am as of the time of writing, not allowed to share without the blessing of he and his associates who have been assembling the case for the Derpi mod’s misbehaviour. I will ask him if I can share the screenshot here to further prove my claim, but the overall point is that one of them shows the mods in their private Discord sharing the story of Nigel Farage getting milkshaked. In response, at least one of them demands that people (Nigel included) should have their throats slashed for the crime of being conservative. No-one calls them out for this, it is just accepted as normal behaviour.
 
Between these screenshots, testimony from my own friends and my own experiences, I am absolutely bloody sick of people trying to gaslight me with this obvious lie that “Derpi’s mods aren’t politically motivated, they’re just trying to remove racist comments!” and other such drivel. They are ideologues, they censor, libel and in the case of one of my friends harass for political and ideological reasons and I refuse to even entertain the contrary position by people who are simply ignorant of the matter or dishonest to protect the sanctity of their preferred booru.

@Sapphie  
I have asked for full takedown.  
The important distinction is that I did so AFTER it became obvious that Derpi is refusing to un-rot its management, with meow bullshitting about transparency then deleting threads.
 
Pretty much entirety of anti-censorship side only did “artist upload only” DNPs at first, while “we-want-literally-nazi-policies-just-with~~”jews”-swapped-to~~”nazis”-because-we’re-idiots-and-think-it-won’t-backfire-spectacularly” side went nuclear immediately, including  
>I don’t draw but I’ll be submitting a DNP anyway  
bandwagoning and scummy shit like aponty changing text on his porn pic into mouthpiece then false-dupe reporting that it’s just a higher res version (followed by mods refusing to zero out the data on unmerged but falsely-high-score pic).
 
@Anonymous #6FEE  
People have gotten post deleted, or themselves banned, shadowbanned, and shadowfiltered for objecting to mods’ rampant bias and favoritism, dissecting r6 posts (with the post itself staying up), or even as much as single downvote on a BLM picture while otherwise being supportive of Burn Loot Murder.  
Oh and responding to proven downvote brigading done by twittermites with “WE’LL HAVE A TALK WITH THEM” at the same time as above single-downvote-shadowfilter.
 
@Anonymous #6FEE

That’s because it’s all wiped by Derpi staff to pretend they’re not scum who rugsweep their shit instead of cleaning it up :^) Check the Derpi drama threads on desuarchive for the logs in picture format, including such highlights as:  
staff displaying POLAR OPPOSITE opinion of one they held months before that  
claiming that Aryanne won’t be banned then trying to ban Aryanne a month later  
flip-flopping to appeal to both sides and pissing off both as natural consequence of it  
ciaran undermining whatever side he talks “for” EVERY time he posted and being allowed to continue posting  
a large portion of active staff being kicked out for “inactivity” immediately after modchat log was leaked (and there’s non-zero chance they didn’t even get the whistleblower)  
derpstapo aka users with access to admin tools that don’t show up in staff list  
nebulon and meow answering same question differently depending on who and when is asked  
asking users to unsubscribe manually from the patreon once it released the ultimatum (ft. hilariously hypocritical announcement) and hiding the numbers on said patreon, instead of dropping everyone and asking to REsubscribe once they rebrand it as ~vector artwork~
 
@Zaknel  
Welcome to Ciaran “undesirables” Benson, the slimy snake who tried to butter up to everyone and compulsively lies to stay relevant.

Staffers and Simps alike gaslight for derpibooru all the time, covering up evidence of wrongdoing, being called out for wrongdoing and then acting like there’s “no evidence”.
 
I’m very tired of the whole routine, I wish people would stop, it’s very old hat by now.
 
You’d think that people went to the trouble of creating their own alternate boorus to not have to deal with this would have been enough to tell them that this tactic isn’t fucking working, but it looks like introspection is lost on them.

But as a former staff member I can tell you that lacking internal communication made it so that responses to the same problem on different days will generally be inconsistent.

Confirmed by show staff = not canon ?
 
Um…. okay.
 
Edit: You seem to be relating two completely separate issues here.
 
  1. spoiler images serving as a watered down ezample of what they hide
     
  2. images of ships that were confirmed by people who work on the show
     
    Where is the overlap? That you don’t like to see lesbian couples on the site and seeing couples confirmed by staff goes against your personal headcanon and should be washed away?
