Well I am really sad to be saying this.
I am leaving CivitAI probably forever.
Like the UK Australia has implemented absurd restrictions on access to the internet based on the idea of protecting children.
To be plain I support protectin
And CivitAI say they are not going to be complying with the Australian regulations, so they are cutting us adrift.
I got the message of doom when logging on this morning.
So as of tomorrow I'll be blocked.
I'll try a VPN, but in my experience they are often not that reliable, and generally cripple access speed.
All the best to everybody I have made friends with here, it has been great!
