    The watermark is part of the work, removing it removes the way for a viewer to find the creator, especially if it’s shared on from here. Putting it in a comment is helpful, as it’s clickable, but it doesn’t mean you can choose to remove it from the image.

        Is scaling/ reencoding derivative? Or is it about the the visible content, only?

        Lemmy hands out downscaled images. Others watermark images (reddit, 9gag,…).

        Yes, I agree. Posting cropped images is bad. You can do it for personal use and no one cares. But leave it intact if you spread it.
