Image description: A girl with red eyes seen through dark sunglasses, blonde hair with bright red nest-like extension, two feathered beige wings, and a gentle smile on her face standing with two small, yellow chicks nestled in her hair. She is wearing a white blouse with puffy sleeves over an orange dress, with a reddish-brown neckerchief tied at her collar. In the background is a light blue sky filled with small white birds in flight, and in the upper left corner are the branches of a tree with pink blossoms.

Tags are cool but they are not here yet and more importantly Lemmy is also not a place where anything goes. It's up to admins and community to decide what's allowed and what's not. If the majority of the community doesn't want something you can't expect them to create tags just to exclude that something.
As a member of this community I'm just voting against AI mostly because it's unethical, among other reasons.
The tags exist here because we already agreed that was the way we were handling content. In the meantime, you can just block me until tags arrive. That would be the simplest way to filter this content from your view.
Tags exist to categorize content but if the majority of the community doesn't want some type of content then perhaps it should be restricted.
For example I wouldn't have a problem with explicit NSFW content on this sub, especially because Lemmy provides excellent support for filtering out NSFW posts and yet I don't insist on changing the rules to allow it just for the sake of freedom. The community and admins decided they don't want it and that's fine by me.
Also make no mistake I'm not speaking for everyone. If people want AI here then I'm in no position to intervene.
Just because the majority thinks one way doesn't mean they aren't wrong or ignorant. History is full of examples where the crowd went the wrong way on issues. Hell, you don't even need history, just look at the US today. A community without dissent is dooming itself to ignorance and leaving itself vulnerable to the machinations of bad actors. The reality is that justice and truth aren't the same as popularity, and we have to push against the crowd sometimes to get to it. Lemmy arms us with the tools to do just that, and it's up to us to use them whenever possible.
I mean you can't just tell people they are wrong because they don't want to see AI stuff.
Leaving politics aside it's hard to compare a country to a lemmy. If you don't agree with the majority it's very easy to create a community with your own rules on lemmy but you definitely can't create a country, the most you can do is leave it which is also not easy.
I'm not telling anyone they are wrong because stuff they don't want to see, I only want them to use the tools available to them before making knee-jerk decisions that can have adverse effects on the community. As easy as it is to create communities, it's even easier to use the blocking tools for yourself. This conversation has taken hundreds of times longer than it would have for someone to block and move on.
Yet here you are writing another essay on why this content should be allowed and here I am doing the same against it. People care. That's why they're doing it. You want to post here even though there are other communities that are made for that and I push back against it even though we have the option to block someone.
The content is allowed here, you're the one saying it shouldn't be, when there are other communities like you describe. You're not pushing back, you're pushing into an already established community rather than curating your own feed.
We can continue this conversation if you're willing to proceed in good faith, but putting words in my mouth and trying to misrepresent the situation isn't cool. If you can't own up to your side of the argument and have to try to turn it on me, you've already lost the plot. This kind of manipulation leads to miscommunication, kills the actual dialogue, and makes you look even weaker than your argument.
I'm only pushing back against it because the moderator asked for feedback.
I'm not even asking for an out right ban of AI, I'm just asking for reconsideration of this rule either by the moderator or the community.
Honestly idk what part of this conversation you find in bad faith but honestly I don't care. In the end all I want is to give my point of view and some facts on the matter.
Loot at it this way. You want to bar me from posting this stuff here, even though you aren't bereft of other communities that function the way you want. I push back against it because you have the option to customize your feed and countless other communities to choose from. Why are you trying to take away my few choices?
Simple. Because I think that AI is harmful to artists and shouldn't be mixed with real art. BUT look I'm not going around communities asking mods to ban AI, here it looks like at least some part of the community also doesn't want AI in their feed. The moderator asked for feedback and I'm giving one.
Your actions don't match your words friend. It seems to me that if you were here doing as you say, there wouldn't be any doubt that tags are the best solution in this situation. People that want to can view the content, and those that don't can avoid it, as has always been done.
If tags are such a great solution why isn't explicit NSFW allowed here or on idk photography sub? Support for filtering out NSFW is excellent and I know no client that doesn't perfectly support it.
Tagging and filtering works for communities that need it. Those that have NSFW content enforce rules that allow users to customize their feeds, just like is done here with the [AI] tag.
This just confirms my point. Thanks I guess xD
