Hey, it's my project, nice to see it here! I wanted to do something that I liked in the early times of the web - something small, optimistic and whimsical.
The AI-assisted drawing moderation is inspired by drawafish.com and works quite well at keeping the horse parade family friendly!
As a bit of an observation - the horses went viral on tumblr, bluesky and to a lesser extent facebook and instagram and smaller pages at different days, so I could observe how the drawing style and content changes:
- Most beautiful horses and least penises were drawn by tumblr users. Maybe because they've drawn a lot of penises before and got it out of their system : )
- Most penises: HN (but I guess it's my fault for saying there is a filter) followed by b3ta.com and twitter

- Most swastikas: twitter and, somehow, HN.
- Most generous buymeacoffee supporters: tumblr
- Most unexpected source of traffic: substack
- Hardest slashdot effect: bluesky

If you tab out and then back again it draws about 20 horses all on top of each other making some kind of eldritch horror.

In a similar project, a hard part was filtering penis and nazi symbols.
Protip: add a few legs parts in the tail, so it moves too.

Check out how the precursor of this project did it! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44719222
> I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder (https://bsky.app/profile/bigass.bsky.social/post/3luvikxn3f2...).
