Yeah, I mean if you want to hear a contrary opinion, seek out the local LLM crowd.

Sam Altman and his pyramid scheme can go to hell, but I like local LLMs. As tools. They're kinda what Lemmy is to Reddit.

At worse, make your own "Fuck AI" community, or find some adjacent community in another instance. The fediverse's potential for redundancy is a godsent for when a community is problematic for whatever reason. No need to worry about enduring a given community because its name was already taken and is being run to the ground. =)

But if you must follow the community where you are banned, I second the suggestion of contacting the moderation team.
