        Is it against the rules to deride the use of image generation models in this community? Clarifying because your rules section says nothing about it.

              someone reported this comment with the report reason “Anti-AI Trolling in an AI friendly community”

              What makes this an AI-friendly community? I just read the sidebar and don’t see anything about AI.

              I do see however that this community’s list of rules includes this peculiar pair:

              • Only post socialist memes
              • Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

              🤔

                I like how people are treating any criticism of AI as “trolling.” Like, it’s one thing to tolerate AI images, but apparently there’s a bunch more devout techbros around here than I realized.

                Edit: Lmao, it got removed! Trolling now officially means, “Disagreeing with me, about anything, in any way, for any reason.”

                Only post socialist memes

                Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

                A surprisingly common set of beliefs.

                  The problem is the anti-genAI crowd show up in numbers on almost every post containing AI images to pontificate about why they think “AI slop” should be tagged (although even when it is, they shift the goalposts and we still get complaints - this post is a good example). In effect this completely derails the post comments to be all about genAI instead of the community/post theme. Some of our community mods have experienced significant bullying and harassment over this topic, which is why we put the rule in place. I’m not going to re-litigate it here, but if you check out our [email protected] community there is an extensive discussion about it there.

                    Sorry that your position is massively unpopular?

                    although even when it is, they shift the goalposts and we still get complaints - this post is a good example

                    How is this post an example of that when it isn’t tagged?

                    Some of our community mods have experienced significant bullying and harassment

                    Does “saying AI is bad” count as “significant bullying and harassment?” What about, “saying comments shouldn’t be removed for criticizing AI?” Because apparently those things count as, “trolling” so I’m not sure what standards you’re using here.

              Yeah, I originally joined dbzero because its an anarchist instance and I am an anarchist, but grew to dislike it cause of how pro-AI it is. So I swapped to slrpnk. But slrpnk is down and so I am stuck using dbzero till its back up.

              I find it kinda wild that they are so pro-AI too cause all of the friends I have that are anarchists are varying degrees of anti-AI. Personally, I would be fine with AI if we lived in an anarchist society because no one would be negatively affected by it. However we don’t, so there is only a very very small niche use case where you can use AI ethically. Otherwise I see it as scabbing. Being anti-copyright shouldn’t mean walking all over artists and other creators.

        Also blatantly lie about facts to push their own agenda, and insist or assert that they’re actually true, hoping no one will seriously challenge them. Strawmen and ad-hominems are their favorite tactics to use in their debates. Someone should make a meme about this behavior and how it’s mostly turbolib garbage.
