Thank you all for giving us a chance to address this post. We understand trust is earned, especially in the artist community. We want to preface by saying we had a long discussion with the original poster before they made their tweet, where we gave them the original source file in the attached video, and offered to share timelapses where they can see all the layers separated. It is disheartening that the original poster chose not to include this information and other missing context in their post. Our mascot, Mishi, is completely hand drawn. These sketches that are accused of being AI were done with multiple strokes of a sketch brush, there are eraser marks next to the lines and some of the lines are overlapping in areas where we used the lasso tool to reposition. Is it a messy sketch? Yes, if you're an artist, you know how imperfect sketches can get. Is it AI? Absolutely not. To increase confidence even further, we will provide more process material publicly: sketches, revisions, timelapses, and context around how Mishi evolved during beta. On social media accounts: since we draw Mishi art ourselves, we understand why people may be curious about prior art accounts from our team. Some team members keep personal art identities separate from the platform for privacy and safety. We respect the privacy of our team members and we do not pressure anyone to expose their personal or art accounts, but we agree that we need clearer public team/structure info, which is why we will create a "Teams" page once we're out of Beta. Our team is small at the moment, but we plan to hire more members and share our team structure in the future. With regard to security concerns, please check the thread below. We are still in the early months of our launch and are doing our best to build a strong platform for creators. While we are disappointed that the original poster did not include the proof we sent them in their original post, we see this as an opportunity to provide more transparency and continue strengthening trust in our platform. Thank you all for hearing us out, and we'll continue to do our best.

We take security concerns extremely seriously, and I would like to provide some additional context for this situation. The individual who raised these concerns (@/Hasiradoo) is a developer currently working on a competing platform. They created an account on our site with the intent of identifying potential vulnerabilities, and shared their findings publicly on Twitter and privately to us. While some of their concerns are valid, they are also making false claims that we want to address. Their original post dates back to April, during the first week of our platform's launch, when we had approximately 20–50 users. We want to clearly correct one of their claims: at no point were passwords leaked, this is false. However, at that early stage, some issues were identified (such as emails being shown), and those were fixed on the same day. This is not an issue that has been going on for months, we addressed it immediately. Since then, we have made significant security improvements and continue to actively strengthen our systems. In fact, we shared an update just last week stating that we made additional security enhancements. They made other false claims that we never responded to their security concerns, when in reality, we had a discussed the issue with them on the same day and fixed it in April. They had some valid criticism which we appreciate, and we have resolved the security concerns they brought to us. However, they are now using the resolved situation to create panic and mislead users, and this is extremely disheartening for us. We do appreciate all concerns, feedback, and criticism, but we ask that these be raised responsibly and accurately, so as not to cause panic, mislead or harm the community. We will actively investigate any other security claims that are brought to us. As some of you have noticed, our team works quick, because we are working on the platform all day, everyday. We would never let a security claim go unattended. Thank you all for hearing us out, and we will continue to do our best.
