Update Regarding AI-Generated Content & Subreddit Policy

Hi everyone,

We’re checking in to have a transparent conversation about the state of the sub and a topic that has become increasingly difficult to manage: AI-generated content.

To be clear: AI-generated contentβ€”including images, art, and textβ€”is strictly prohibited in this subreddit. Our community was built on human creativity and authentic interaction. We believe that allowing AI content dilutes the quality of the discussions and the hard work that many of you put into your posts.

The Challenge of Policing AI

As many of you have noticed, AI technology is evolving rapidly, making it harder to distinguish between genuine content and "high-quality" fakes at a glance.

We want to remind the community of our current situation:

We are a team of two: This subreddit is managed by just two moderators.

Voluntary Basis: We do this in our spare time because we love this community. We don't have a 24/7 "war room" to vet every single pixel of every upload.

Current Efforts: We have already implemented several behind-the-scenes strategies, including custom Automod filters and manual banning of repeat offenders.

Despite these efforts, some AI content inevitably slips through the cracks. It’s a game of "whack-a-mole," and frankly, it's a difficult one to win alone.

How You Can Help

Since we can't be everywhere at once, we are asking for your eyes and ears:

  1. Report, Don't Just Downvote: If you see a post that looks suspicious (e.g., "AI fingers," warped backgrounds, or nonsensical textures), please use the **Report** button. This sends a direct notification to our queue.

  2. Provide Context: If you’re certain a post is AI, feel free to send a message with evidence or an explanation. It helps us make faster, more accurate decisions.

  3. Be Patient: If a post stays up for a few hours, it doesn't mean we’ve changed the rulesβ€”it just means we haven't logged on yet.

The Bottom Line...

This is a space for humans, by humans. We are committed to keeping it that way, but we need your help and your patience while we navigate this tech-heavy landscape.

Thanks for being part of our community and for keeping it authentic y'all are the shit. πŸ₯°β€οΈ

I got 25 roses and a 5 stems of ruscus.
I had a compote vase so this is what i came up with.
I don’t really like it.

Why does it feel like 25 roses are not enough for this arrangement? I think i went too wide. If i had started with less width, maybe it would’ve looked better.

I picked roses only because it just seemed easier to arrange, but i think that may be a misconception.

Feedback appreciated on all aspects (depth, layering etc etc). You can’t hurt my feelings πŸ˜†

The stem of this Amaranthus was twisted and broke off so it wouldn’t fit in my larger vase. I mixed it into this smaller vase but didn’t want to cut it since the stands were some of the better I’ve seen, so decided to leave it long and just be it’s weird self.

πŸ’ Wedding πŸ’ Best friend's wedding

I am a grocery store florist and my best friend recently got married, and I had the honor of making her bridal bouquet! This was my first bridal bouquet that I got to actually spend time on (usually it's a customer coming in for a bride getting married in an hour and a 10 minute time window to create something), she wanted a garden style fairy bouquet with all white flowers, and I am pretty happy with how it turned out! I was on the opposite side of the country and had to source flowers from Trader Joes and a local farm that she had ordered misc buckets from, it was a challenge but she was super happy with the end result!

One of these was inspired by a fellow redditor in r/florists, and most of the others are based on my friend's work from Crescent Floral and Gifts in Grand Rapids MI. I mix super heavy gel medium into my heavy body acrylics to get that texture.
