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.
PTB. There have been some mods of the AI specific comms here on db0 that are more than a little ban happy, and who pre-emptively ban people for participating in anti-ai subs.
That said, we also have a number of users that have come to this sub to whine when they refuse to block the AI subs for themselves and just downvote everything from them.
There’s a huge amount of Brigadoon related to AI content. People downvote and stalk the communities instead of just blocking them. I think the heavy handedness is justified, and I’ve even been on the wrong side of it (getting banned for posting in fuck AI).
I don’t know why the autocorrect gave me that but I’m keeping it.
Here on MULTIVERSE we ban AI communities because we’re a vegan instance, but I can understand someone feeling an ethical obligation to take a more active role in downvoting AI.
Is there some sort of natural enmity between vegans and AI enthusiasts I’m not aware of?
I think it’s something along the lines of:
A lot of vegans are vegan for ethical reasons, i.e. animal products are cruel to animals and tend to harm the environment. So it makes sense they’d be against something so power-hungry which is also destroying the environment so we can have arrangements of pixels that look pretty I guess.
Sounds plausible, I suppose.
no. it’s nonsense.

Would you ban a user who felt an obligation to take a more active role in downvoting vegan content?

Obviously, the losers against this would be highly transphobic and homophobic. It must be rough having to create an other handful of alts each time you want your “contributions” to have any upvotes.

Nothing wrong with a guy dressing like a girl, you loser. I know it confuses you when you get a boner but boys in skirts are actually a really cool and fun thing. This isn’t the platform for your puritanical insecurities.
