Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

    And here I am, scrolling through Lemmy like normal when I’ll randomly catch glimpses of apparent Lemmy drama like this.

    I don’t really understand what’s going on or who’s at fault, all I know is every time there’s some kind of instance-vs-instance bullshit, everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else and I just think “fuck it, I don’t have the mental capacity to focus on trying to completely pull myself away from the bullshit”

        1. Does your instance ban people based on the output of chatbots?
        2. If yes to #1, do you require people who object to their bans to argue against the output of these chatbots?
        3. Were you aware that the chatbot-generated ban reason contains quotes that do not exist? And if you were, did you ever say so?

            If you don’t ban people for reasons generated by LLMs, why did you put the output of an LLM at the top of your reason for banning someone?

            This makes question 3 even more pertinent.

                Flatworm7591’s comments do not add clarity, which is why I’m asking you here.

                Finally, just because I included an LLM summary of the comment history in the public modlog, it does not logically follow that the ban occurred because of the LLM summary. It simply happened to correspond very well to my own manual review

                • They claim they had a manual review process, but never show their work. (If they did, where is it?)
                • They imply they didn’t use the LLM to ban the user, but they don’t say it outright.

                I prefer transparency and straightforward language. Not this.
