Pro-AI mod bans me from a bunch of communities I never even heard of because he didn’t like my criticism of the fake slop that isn’t art which he posts.

    I also hate ai art, but did you go to an ai art community and complain about AI art? Because this is kinda what it looks like to me.

      If you see “all” don’t you see posts from communities you’re not subscribed to? Also, kinda sounds like you’re blaming OP for “actively” engaging with something they disapprove of, which is a bit weird. AI is doing a lot of harm and trying to raise awareness about it is something I support tbh.

    Sounds more like someone with an agenda. Someone with an agenda should not be a mod. Then again, mods, like the current supreme court in the united states, can be biased. Who knows anymore?

    That’s a busy first day on lemmy…

    checks user history: 24 posts in the same 2 hour timespace on a 1 day old account with nothing but ranting, mostly downvoted. called someone a pedo,

    ehhhhh, I’m not saying that they deserved the preemptive ban on all those sites, but they weren’t really bringing much to the table even for FuckAI.

    I got banned from a ton of ai communities for some mild push back, saying that people value bad art that has a person behind it rather than AI art which doesn’t feel like it has a human story and character behind it. Some of the softest people on the whole fediverse.

    Same mod (probably) banned me over one downvote. Thought about making a post about it back then, but decided that nothing of value was lost anyway.

      Regulatory capture?

      Take over the group/sub to push content you approve and deny that you disagree with

      I’m guessing they’re opposed only to corporate use, while endorsing individual use (my indicator being the trove of Stable Diffusion communities they also mod). I’d love to check it out, but db0 defederated us.

      I’ve seen a few types about that mostly criticise the way companies use it at scale to replace human employees. Their argument is that generating and refining images with successive prompts produces higher quality “art” than the mediocre slop put out by corporations.

      If you accept the premise that the value of art is the quality of the result rather than the effort that went into making it and acquiring the skills for it, that logic holds up well enough. It’s just that most artists disagree, and once the sloppers start to claim that their effort is comparable, never having actually invested the time and energy into learning just how wrong they are, that their argument starts to crumble irredeemably.

        really? now just tell me that you automatically filter/ban everything from any cm0002 account and defederated lemmy ml and it makes a really good advertisement :D

          It seems they’re just really good at making friends all around. Getting banned both by the AI subs and by fuck_ai indicates it was never about AI.

          Reason given in the modlog is harassment. Sounds about right.

    Had the same experience with exactly the same mod. In my case, I was also banned from [email protected] , which is also modded by that person. I noticed months after the ban, when I couldn’t post to that community.

    That was the only ban I tried to appeal, cuz that was the only non AI community. To be fair, the mod unbanned me from there.

      I bet they do this because they know modlogs are public and doing it will tarnish the good names of whoever they do it to.

      No, not really. I mean, part of it is humans being petty, which is hardly a feature unique to reddit.

      The absence or corporate control, monetisation, enshittification and advertiser-placating censorship are significant differences, in my opinion.

      That doesn’t mean there’s no censorship at all, but it’s not “no nudity or google might cut your revenue” levels. Can’t do much about personal convictions or governments cracking down on speech except moving instances, which isn’t trivial (and probably should be made easier) but at least offers a freedom reddit doesn’t.

      The transparency of moderation activities also helps find, show and address abuse of power, which is another improvement over the opaque nature of reddit moderation.

          Harassment, according to the modlog. I’m guessing the mods here didn’t appreciate the whole “I intentionally made a new account to start shit, started shit, then whined about being banned for trolling” attitude.

              Well, I don’t think we can get along with people peddling a technology we consider harmful and immoral, but there’s a difference between “not getting along” and “making a new account just to call the other guys pedos and assholes, then pretending I didn’t do anything to warrant getting banned from their space”.

              We could at least have some etiquette though. Not like this kind of venomous hostility is gonna achieve anything except galvanise the opponent.

      They might be training from our comments.
