1️⃣ Stable Diffusion 3 Update!

Stability AI released an update July 5th, announcing license changes, and model updates!

Last week, our legal team reviewed the previous SD3 license and confirmed that our concerns about its restrictions were indeed warranted. These findings could have significant implications for our community and the use of SD3 based models, and as such, SD3 content remains banned from Civitai until we receive, and examine, the new license!

For all the details and an in-depth analysis, be sure to read the full article.

2️⃣ User Blocking

We’re excited to announce the implementation of a highly requested feature: user blocking. You can now block other users to prevent them from seeing your content or profile, or interacting with you in any way. This feature works similarly to those on many popular social media platforms, giving you more control over your experience on Civitai.

Stay safe and enjoy a more personalized and secure site experience!

3️⃣ Civitai Champion Applications OPEN!

We are excited to announce the launch of our Civitai Champion Program! Civitai Champions will play a crucial role in welcoming new members, encouraging interaction with existing members, providing valuable feedback, and helping to create a supportive and engaging environment!

Check out the eligibility requirements and apply here!

4️⃣ Civitai Moderation Team Applications OPEN!

5️⃣ Soon™ - Big Changes Around the Corner!

We're hyped to announce that some of the most requested features are finally coming your way over the next couple of weeks! In addition to these exciting new features, we're making significant adjustments to alleviate a particular common pain point, and we’ll be implementing a major change in one key area.
