Summary:
I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.
I didn’t go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.
One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.
It’s not just one community. The whole instance is pro-AI, untagged, and with criticism of it being against the rules.
And if you criticize the mod actions you’ll be accused of starting drama, as I learned from crossposting this there.
Here’s db0’s lovely, totally mature, and not at all condesending response.
Being anti-AI on .dbzer0 is considered “trolling” and “reactionary” no matter what your stance is, how you present it, or what your reasons for it are.
Yup, and db0 is their “benevolent” dictator. I bet if this community were on dbzer0 he would’ve banned it or banned everyone in it and kept it as a honeypot to ban anyone who pushes back against him and his instance’s Pro-AI agenda.
There is no actual rule against criticism of AI. It’s an ethereal rule that they use to exert authoritarian behavior.
