Checked my notifications to see this, I’m not even active in those communities.

The reason says ’ Piefed Troll ’ I’m not sure what that could be?

Can someone help me figure out why I was banned? I wasn’t very active in the last week I can’t imagine why I’d be banned, especially from these communities.

      It is interesting to me that the modlog doesn’t show who did action. Is that normal? I would have expected to see who the moderator was that performed the mod action, but honestly haven’t been involved with moderating a website in basically 15 years, so I don’t know what the accepted norms are these days…

        I think there are mobile apps that show it (pretty sure a thread here from a few days ago had a screenshot showing as much).

      can confirm, i & a few other users got comments removed & banned from some communities for talking about how to spot genAI images etc

      most of the people in question were slrpnk.net users, so it makes sense why we’d be against something that’s so electricity- and water-hungry while providing very little of use (meanwhile i’m fine with locally-hosted analytical AI that’s doing stuff like analysing scans for cancer, for example)

      but weirdly, the bans all got labelled as stuff like “anti-AI neoliberal”, even though neoliberals are totally fine with corporate-owned genAI being added needlessly to every service 🤷
