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.
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
It's pretty stupid to block an entire instance for being blocked from one community for what is a small issue in grand scheme of things.
It's not just one community. The whole instance is pro-AI, untagged, and with criticism of it being against the rules.
And if you criticize the mod actions you'll be accused of starting drama, as I learned from crossposting this there.
Here's db0's lovely, totally mature, and not at all condesending response.
Being anti-AI on .dbzer0 is considered "trolling" and "reactionary" no matter what your stance is, how you present it, or what your reasons for it are.
I doubt it was because of downvoting only.

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.
