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.
I’m only talking about the instance, not the individual people. Of course there’s bound to be a few bad apples, but what instance doesn’t have them?
Mods set the tone. People act like they have no power but they do clearly dend the conversations the way they want them to go.
If a large community moderator is doing this, it is the instance’s stance.
