"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
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.
I keep seeing dbzer0.com paired with some unhinged opinions. Is it a good site to block in general, or should I continue my current trajectory of just blocking the names I see making these opinions public?
I crossposted this thread to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and here was db0's response
Not surprising whatsoever. Someone should really make an alternative to that community that isn't on dbzer0. YPTB is biased as fuck and they're not above accusing people like us of sowing drama just because they don't like criticism of their slop.
I was participating in the comment section of that post, and I was actually defending the ~~criticism of~~* using AI for memes, but I agree that mods over there are... a little too proactive. Like, I was debating with a person and their comments were getting removed. Sure, I disagreed with that person, but their comments weren't particularly outrageous as to be removed.
On the other hand, it seems that both communities have a couple "outspoken vegan" kind of members whose intent is to be the guy from "stop having fun!" meme. Which causes mod overreaction.
I doubt it was because of downvoting only.
Lol it just keeps on getting better, dbzer0's admins apparently think that banning anyone who downvotes in your community to create an echochamber is somehow a good thing
