Thats, very distinctly, not a denial of troll-like behaviour.
If you'd define what you mean by "troll-like behaviour" then maybe I'd say something more directly about it. As far as I can tell XLE just means I hold positions that are not always popular in the communities I comment in. That's certainly true.
He's stopped calling me a bot and accusing me of being "from Reddit", at least, so that's progress. I mean, I am "from Reddit" - I have a link back to my Reddit profile right in my Fediverse profile. Never knew why that was supposed to be a bad thing.
It was not my question, i was just noting that of the points mentioned in that reply the "troll" reference was the only one that you didn't address.
There was no implication past that.
As for sometimes unpopular opinions, I'm no stranger to that, feel free to check my history.
You get judged on my interactions with you, as far as I remember this is the first.
I don't think thats true.
While you might not agree with the prevailing opinion of reddit(in the fediverse at least), I think you know what it is and why it might be used as a derogatory reference.
A large chunk of the Lemmy/piefed userbase is ex-redditors though, I'd venture likely a majority, so it is a bit of a weird thing to say as an insult.
I would guess it's the exhibition of what some people would consider reddit-like behaviour that is the actual intended insult.
Or rather the behaviour exhibited by reddit denizens that gives it it's bad reputation, for some.
I could be wrong however.
And it's not like Reddit is exactly a hotbed of pro-AI sentiment either, for that matter. Though it does tend to be less extreme in my experience, I suspect because it's just got a larger population so social bubbles are harder to enforce.
I'd, personally, take the reddit and AI parts individually.
Sloperator and reddit chud, rather than attributing the AI evangelism to reddit specifically.
But again, im guessing, I could be entirely wrong.
XLE appears to be completely focused on my opinion regarding AI, he has never commented on anything else I've done or said here on the Fediverse. So I think it's safe to view all of his attempts at insulting me in that context.
