To all the copy/crop credits out/paste posters of "The sharpest image ever taken of Venus": https://www.planetary.org/space-images/venus-in-infrared-from-akatsuki-2 is the picture source. It's under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. The minimal credits are "JAXA / ISAS / DARTS / Damia Bouic" and the creator is here as @DamiaB
The full article at https://www.planetary.org/articles/0116-a-new-look-at-venus-with-akatsuki has even more stunning pictures and scientists explaining what you can learn from these pictures.
I really, deeply disapprove of these clickbait copy/paste posters that purposely remove any credits, context or possibility for me to dive deeper into something interesting. I will block and report them from now on.
And I humbly suggest that you do not boost these posts.
And this is how these people react when you friendly ask them to at least add a link and proper credits (which I gave in my reply). Le Sigh. Your uncredited post violates the CC license. The license happily allows sharing the picture. Just add the credits with a simple edit of your post. But no. We are the bad people in her view.
So if doing the work the OP should have done, at least IMHO (find out the source of the picture, the license and delivering a copy/paste-able fix that could be edited into the original toot) is seen as accusation and raising the possibility of leaving the fediverse altogether - I wouldn’t disagree and wish the OP a wonderful life without the stress of being reminded about common sense and respect for creators :)
@jwildeboer Comic strips are the ones I notice most often. The worst is when somebody goes to the effort of cropping the bottom pixels to remove the author's name. Why? Leaving out a link is just lazy, but why actively remove attribution?
@jwildeboer Thanks to the way X works, many tweets are never read and therefore never create replies. When these people come here, and get replies, they are completely unprepared. Replying to one of these mostly stupid toots instantly gets you “wow, a real reply guy” answers or similar. Plonk, and soon they can continue to use their outbox as private diary nobody ever looks at.
