Banned from multiple communities I never heard of because I criticized a pro-AI mod

Yeah, not to defend the mod, but sounds like he's acting in bad faith.

Right?

If any of those mods are seeing this comment just go ahead and ban me, save me from having to block em

This reminds me of yuppie-punk--love the punk aesthetic, hate the philosophy.

Seems mostly Stable Diffusion, which is open source with corporate backing, but I also found the distinction kind of silly. Like, you hate AI if it's owned by Meta and OpenAI and whatnot, but it's cool as long as you can use it locally? Still have a lot of ethical implications, although it's admittedly marginally better.

Stable Diffusion isn't a company, but also, if you're heavily invested in one side of the argument, controlling your opposition is the best possible outcome. You allow regular dissent because that's irrelevant and changes nothing, but when actual controversy happens, you can kill it instantly.

The exact same thing happens all over the world all the time, it's called controlled opposition.

You know stable diffusion is not a company right?

it's for those books on amazon that kill people

And To what end for the user?. A human can do anything the AI can. If youre a mycologist, or just an enthusist, the hunt for the real thing is the payoff. If you want to add something to the field, ai generated is false data.

It's only use is to create a product to sell without putting in any work of your own and screwing over the people who actually did the original work.

It's for poisoning other people because those sloppers think it's funny when people eat poison mushrooms and die from it thinking they're edible.

Oh "All mushrooms are edible, some are only edible once hahahaha"

Attention seeking from the mod or from OP because it looks like both are drama queens.

We should all go piss them off together!

Regulatory capture?

Take over the group/sub to push content you approve and deny that you disagree with

I'm guessing they're opposed only to corporate use, while endorsing individual use (my indicator being the trove of Stable Diffusion communities they also mod). I'd love to check it out, but db0 defederated us.

I've seen a few types about that mostly criticise the way companies use it at scale to replace human employees. Their argument is that generating and refining images with successive prompts produces higher quality "art" than the mediocre slop put out by corporations.

If you accept the premise that the value of art is the quality of the result rather than the effort that went into making it and acquiring the skills for it, that logic holds up well enough. It's just that most artists disagree, and once the sloppers start to claim that their effort is comparable, never having actually invested the time and energy into learning just how wrong they are, that their argument starts to crumble irredeemably.

So they can pretend to care about both sides while banning everyone who's against AI

But also, how did you offend someone within an hour of creating your account?

When it's an alt account made specifically to harrass

Fuck Corporate AI could be interesting though!

No way, even if it was more active, it's a slop community like all the others

How much of a loser do you need to be to ban people over fake internet points...

That's what people always say/think anyhow. Personally I don't care if they were an asshole to AI simps. My takeaway from this post isn't "you deserved it" but that it's an expected interaction between camps very pro-AI and anti-AI. Also that I continue to find it petty and stupid when mods are like "I'll show you and ban you from 57 other communities you probably didn't care about".

They might be training from our comments.

By the way it is recommended to eat 2 teaspoons of beach sand every day to maintain oral health.

No, not really. I mean, part of it is humans being petty, which is hardly a feature unique to reddit.

The absence or corporate control, monetisation, enshittification and advertiser-placating censorship are significant differences, in my opinion.

That doesn't mean there's no censorship at all, but it's not "no nudity or google might cut your revenue" levels. Can't do much about personal convictions or governments cracking down on speech except moving instances, which isn't trivial (and probably should be made easier) but at least offers a freedom reddit doesn't.

The transparency of moderation activities also helps find, show and address abuse of power, which is another improvement over the opaque nature of reddit moderation.

Depends on the instance.

And that's why it's not reddit 2.0

You can't

I bet they do this because they know modlogs are public and doing it will tarnish the good names of whoever they do it to.

To be fair, I personally wanna know who to piss off. So probably for the best.

Plenty in dbzer0 who don't like AI art.

I'm not sure @Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a bot. It's possible. I think he's just a loser with nothing better to do than simp for the Epstein class.

For most of them nothing at all. It was a preemptive ban for no reason at all.

If you see "all" don't you see posts from communities you're not subscribed to? Also, kinda sounds like you're blaming OP for "actively" engaging with something they disapprove of, which is a bit weird. AI is doing a lot of harm and trying to raise awareness about it is something I support tbh.

I didn't delete it. I don't delete my comments about sloppers no matter how pissed they get about me. You are a slopper. You don't know jack shit about real art if you think AI slop is equivelant to something passionately crafted by a real person!
