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.
Here we go again... For your info, the general sentiment of the instance is pro-AI for no commercial purposes. So yeah, you may see more AI stuff there, but it's not full on tech bro mentality
Heck, they promote AI horde which is one of the most ethical way to do AI as a service IMO. And even if I'm against AI, I'd rather have people use the horde instead of an overpriced subscription for the GPTs.
It's best to not start a war as it's best to not be seen as an extremist community
What a lovely sentiment 🥰
I'm only talking about the instance, not the individual people. Of course there's bound to be a few bad apples, but what instance doesn't have them?
Mods set the tone. People act like they have no power but they do clearly dend the conversations the way they want them to go.
If a large community moderator is doing this, it is the instance's stance.
