April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

JanitorBtw Notkastar, if you want to upload better quality and with alpha channel to Twitter, you can reduce the amount of colors at which point twitter doesn't make it a JPG.

One easy way is to download pingo GUI for Windows, select lossy - strong (palette) and extreme compression, drop the file on the window and click Optimize. This will result slight downgrade in quality and will overwrite the file, so make copy of the file and upload that only to twitter. Also if you already know other software which can apply palette of course you can use those as well, but for static images, I know at least GIMP doesn't do as great as Pingo does.
Just try it, no more visible compression around edges and no more pure white background.
Also once again thanks for good bare.
