important information for website makers

I understand if you want full resolution for art, but my internet connection begs you to become familiar with an image compressor like TinyPNG or similar

also consider lazy loading!

it's cheap and easy, if you've got big files embedded in a page (like high-resolution images/video/audio), you can just tell the browser to only load them when needed

extra nugget for people who might do pixelart specifically

CSS has a property called image-rendering and one of the values is pixelated.

The image is scaled with the "nearest neighbor" or similar algorithm to the nearest integer multiple of the original image size, then uses smooth interpolation to bring the image to the final desired size. This is intended to preserve a "pixelated" look without introducing scaling artifacts when the upscaled resolution isn't an integer multiple of the original.

So if you want to have your pixelart pieces on your website keep their look when you make them bigger/smaller1, image-rendering: pixelated is your best friend :eggbug:

  1. assuming you use integer increments of size. I'm assuming most pixelart artists are aware that resizing to 1.2x or 3.6x the size is Not A Good Time but you never know haha

Speaking of that usernamenotrequired asshole, after I mentioned how they were trying to start additional fires, I was contacted by someone who not only confirmed my read on that person, but also mentioned that the way the user talked was similar to a previous user who had been incredibly toxic in sitewide stuff, as well as harassing people and resharing unrelated posts to fuel the flames. So even if the first username had been blocked, it clearly didn't stop usernamenotrequired from coming back again to do more fuckshit. And after MONTHS of that they were still harassing people, and the only way I could tell is because people were bringing their name up again. Nothing about "just blocking and curating" would make this better unless I decided to block the people who were victims of the harassment. We can see why that would be a problem, right? We can see the issue with openly wondering why people "didn't just" do that?

(I never quoted that story before because I did not want the person who was being harassed to continue being targeted, I've tried to keep the details vague for their sake)
