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.
You think it’s good for mods to ban anyone and everyone who downvotes to create an echo chamber where only those who fully support them are left?
It’s an art sharing community, not a debate forum.
So you do think people should be banned for not liking something and voting their opinion?
When it starts to become disruptive to the running of the community, and the enjoyment of the community users, then it’s entirely justified imo.
Downvoting posts because you specifically dislike them isn’t disruptive. I never went and downvoted the whole community, and no one else did. This grand conspiracy of brigading is just that, a conspiracy. People just hate AI slop. Deal with it.
Clearly the mod did deal with it, just not in the way you expected 😁
Must be nice to know everything.
If you pay attention to most normal people, they actually are infatuated with gen AI slop and it’s sort of cringe, I work at a large company and half of the people’s profile pictures on our communication application are gpt ghibleified images of themselves. Hating image generation is fairly common in these online circles, but overall the average population seems to like it.
Personally I would never refer to image generation as art, but image generation in itself is honestly a super cool and fascinating technology.
I think different communities can be run in different ways. And yes in some comms you’ll be banned for “voting your opinion”
It’s still PTB, you always think about whether or not you could but you don’t think about whether you should.
I mean, sure whatever. You’re entitled to your opinion. But I’ll take the opportunity to say that you going back to the other thread and bellyaching multiple times that I wasn’t sufficiently respectful to you is hilarious. But otherwise, no your recent dozen comments on a 2 day old thread trying to ignite a flamewar isn’t trolling for drama noooo.
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
The mod’s PTB and so are you 😁
YDM, troll.
Aww bless, YDI.
