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.
My dude you’re downvoting AI posts in an AI community explicitly against instance anti-brigading rules. You deserve it.
Edit: It seems I misunderstood the situation. That is questionable.
Is one person voting on their own from a single account considered “brigading” now?
When you have dozens of that one person the effect is the same. Downvoting something you don’t like in an instance dedicated to that something derails the conversation and inserts unnecessary negativity ala downvote bots; at this point block the community and move on. Imagine if Lemmy had dozens of religious people downvoting the shit out of all posts on c/atheism or c/atheistmemes.
I’ll downvote whatever I want to thanks.
Okay I guess, if you want to be a dick that’s your call.
Stop brigading the FuckAI comm with your pro-AI rhetoric lmao
The irony is palpable
I just got a good idea for a photoshop gag
use a orange juice just carton and make it “more palpable” instead of “more pulp” and maybe add in another visual gag.
I’d do it in gimp but I didn’t sleep very well last night and am feeling too lazy.
I COULD use a bullshit ai tool to make it for me but fuck that noise, better to just let the idea die
Fear not, I hand drewn this just now.
My dude. That’s voting. If everyone organically decides to not like a post, they can downvote.
Briggading is the very specific case of organizing a bunch of users from one forum together to downvote something on another.
If you don’t like AI posts, then you shouldn’t be on pro-AI communities. That’d be like an atheist downvoting everything on c/christianity (which is probably not a thing) or vice versa, a religious person downvoting everything on c/atheism. If you fundamentally disagree with what a space stands for, then your vote is indistinguishable from brigading.
Like downvoting posts in a nazi community just because they promote genocide. If you don’t like genocide, then just ignore the community and let them enjoy their thing!
Some people actually believe that generated images of witches is not nearly as bad as genocide. They believe the two ideologies should be treated differently. Can you believe that? Shocking!
… Are you fucking kidding me?
You’re the one who made that argument. You just don’t like when your own logic is used consistently.
No, I don’t like it when AI generated mushrooms are compared to Nazism. Nazis cause harm to people by spouting their Nazi ideas, so they deserve to be downvoted to hell (or, more appropriately, banned completely), while AI mushrooms don’t, so they don’t.
That’s the promblem. Your analogy is flawed because OP and others like them (I copped a ban for my participation in that thread) had no reasonable way of knowing in advance that c/leftymemes is a pro-AI community. It didn’t say anything about it in the community rules at the time, and it’s only when people reacted negatively to someone posting an AI image and the mods cracked down that we found out.
I don’t, and I assume OP also does not, go around commenting in comms for genAI content. If I see one in my feed, I just block it. It just wasn’t really knowable that c/leftymemes is a genAI comm.
Lefty memes isn’t pro AI (though they’re not exactly anti-AI either); I saw the bans and thought they were downvoting stuff on the communities in the mod log. Also OP was in flippanarchy (which also isn’t explicitly pro, though also not anti, AI), not lefty memes. It seems the mod banned OP from their comms on their pejorative, at least with the information we have. I edited the parent comment to that effect.
I just brigaded tf out of you then
Thanks ;)
That would be almost as awesome as all of us independently deciding to downvote you.
No.
I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post 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.
In an AI community. It’s literally called “stable diffusion mycology”; they’re not exactly subtle about it. If you hate AI then block the instance instead of derailing the conversation by downvoting pro-AI comments in a pro-AI instance.
Oh no. I didn’t do that.
It was in flippinanarchy (or however it is spelled) community.
Edit: It was LLM generated polandball comic. Which is objectively pathetic as fuck.
Wait really? Because the log shows you’re being banned from stable diffusion mycology and stable diffusion witches, not c/flippanarchy. If they saw you downvote pro-AI comments and banned you from all AI communities then that is certainly weird and a little powertrippy.
Yes. The user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.
Just checked, it was in leftymemes community not flippinanarchy.
Let’s see if I can help cut through the communications problem by assembling everything in one place with short, simple bullet points:
(This is what I get from reading the original post and a bit of extra in the comments. If I’m wrong on any point, OP, let me know.)
Does this help clear up the misunderstanding?
You right
I really doubt they got banned for downvoting a single post.
More is going on that they conveniently left out.

Imagine demanding that humans draw your ball comics. Lowest form of “anti-AI” activism possible. The zio regime is literally using “AI” to commit genocide. Grow up.
The call is coming from inside the house!
also having c/privacy in there is a bit conflicting, as most discussions about AI are not aligned with privacy.
dbzer0 isn’t an AI instance; it’s an anarchist/non-tankie leftist instance. People that far left tend to not recognize intellectual property as valid so they play nice with AI and piracy, but the point of the instance is still eating the rich, not posting AI stuff.
Disagree tbh
Cool story.
OP is fighting the good fight in [checks notes] stable-diffusion-mycology and stable-diffusion-witches. So brave! smh.
