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 guess in your drive-by downvoting you didn't notice the huge argument happening in that thread, specifically from people dogpiling the creator for crossposting from the !imageai@sh.itjust.works to !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com? So it wasnt even originally from our board!

I can't even see the post anymore, OP might have been bullied into deleting it.
I saw it before and didn't even care for it myself! i hate Poland ball comics, absolute garbage. But the dbzer0 mods have a point. You can't even mildly critique something like that without the AI haters rolling in to be disruptive. You've made this big stink like you were singled out but there's several loud people in there derailing conversations to complain about AI. In other words, you were brigading.
dbzer0's AI suckoff stance is awful
It's really fucking annoying too, because their userbase is generally pretty based on literally any other issue, but they just pick the stupidest hill to die on with the internet-killing machine.
