Context: I am working in a platform for classic literary works encouraging artists to make art for their favourite works and give them a new life because most of the books in the public domain (books whos author has been dead for ~75+ years) have pretty bad, outdated or straight up non-existent covers. Artists can go on the platform find works they like and create artwork for them.
Anyways i was trying to find people to volunteer for this good cause and posted about it on r/bookcovers a subbreddit whos very purpose to to create covers for books.
The moderator removed the post and refuses to reason all because there was an ai graphic on the platform. So blinded by hate, so infuriating.

I have been exploring the Project Gutenberg library. I have noticed that more than 75% of the catalogue doesn't have proper covers and are given computer generated garbage.(no offense intended at all. Even classics like Dostoyevsky (https://imgur.com/a/V36yDwh) have seen this fate.

This is why I propose WE (artists and readers) do something about it. So I as a developer; have come up with mimesa[.org] for the community.
You can now submit artwork to be considered as the cover of your favorite classic literature.

This will significantly improve the quality of 99% of the books in the public domain hence making classic literature more aesthetically pleasing and hence hopefully more popular.
Would appreciate any thoughts and help!
