Yeah, they posted this:

> Hey, we're Adobe! We're here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life. What's fueling your creativity right now?

> Drop a reply, tag a creator, or share your latest work—we'd love to see what inspires you!

That's such a bland, corporate message. It feels totally inauthentic. Do Adobe (a corporation) really "love to see what inspires you" or do they just want engagement for their new account?

I'm not surprised in the slightest that it triggered a pile-on.

It’s so bland I don’t understand why it elicited any response at all.

From what I've seen Bluesky is kind of the Twitter for artists who dislike AI and don't want their art scraped by Twitter. That one of the most hated companies in the art space decided to appear there too was obviously not going to be received well.
