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.

    There is no instance rule against criticism of AI on db0. Being “pro AI” is not a blank cheque for authoritarian behavior against anyone who isn’t sucking genAI’s malformed cock.

    This happens frequently all over db0, and not including explicitly AI communities. What is happening is that the people that run AI communities have to deal with anti-AI people in the explicitly AI communities, but then the instance in general uses that as a cover to overreact and act like assholes in other communities that are not explicitly AI.

    What needs to happen is that they just need to stop being little shits and just make an instance rule and ensure each community includes it in the rules. Instead of having secret rules, they just need to make it explicit and then people can know what to expect.
