Sloppers gonna slop.
Congrats on your feed being less clogged with shit now ๐ฅณ
In all fairness, if you're anti-AI and go into pro-AI communities to argue, the ban hammer is an expected outcome.
I'll ban pro-AI trolling here - same spiel.
People are allowed to like AI - please don't harass them if you wander into their community. They aren't there to argue any more than we are here.
We all just want to bitch in peace.
But I never posted, downvoted in the community. And just found out about the community today when I was looking through modlogs. ๐
If that's the case, then yea it's a pretty sad power trip on their part.
Some people need a damn hobby...
There's been a few discussions about this, you are probably downvoting AI posts and if it's a pattern (just downvotes without anything else) they see it as non-constructive participation and ban you.
Not saying I completely agree, but I get where they are coming from. Communities should be free from drive-by downvotes, no matter the subject. Even stuff I hate should get a community, it's up to me to ignore it
i never understood why folks get so anal about downvoting. if I donโt like it, I downvote. itโs my vote. if itโs a โruleโ to only downvote people who donโt participate โproperlyโ instead of people you disagree with.. Iโm downvoting the rule.
if a community canโt handle the โriskโ inherent with people disagreeing with them on the internet then they should realize they are not ready for the internet.
shit... I reply about some stuff and let folks know Iโm a leftist and โฆ instant downvotes. hrm. ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ
Voting is not supposed to be like/dislike btw. Voting is supposed to indicate the relevance to the topic. In theory this is how the correct content should come to the top and the irrelevant content drops out.
But no one knows that and just votes with emotions instead.

Downvoting has consequences on visibility for the discussion to others. You simply downvoting for something you disagree with means you only want things you agree with visible to read. I believe downvoting should be reserved for posts that actively subtract from the discussion.
However, following the rule of "treat others how you want to be treated", I have downvoted your post because I disagree with it, and you are communicating thats how you'd like it.

Because it's a net negative on a community. (gen)AI is already controversial, so if a community wants to grow and get visibility, the last they can use is a bunch of bitter users that downvote every new post and don't interact with the community in any other, meaningful way.
i'm banned from a lot of these communities i've discovered. i don't do downvotes of relevant posts in their own communities, i just block such communities, so it will also be based on comment content it seems.
The instance I'm on completely ignores downvotes. They just aren't a thing. An upvote is an upvote. A downvote is... nothing. It's a nice compromise. :)
Yeah I like this, it makes karma farming less plausible too. Although imo they should remove all public visibility of votes and just leave the algo to work behind the scenes
But I have never downvoted AI posts in the community, and I just found out about the community today. My guess is because of my stance on Anti Big Tech AI
It can be, an admin could double check I guess but I don't think it's worth finding out.
I blocked them early btw, so I don't even see them :P
What is "drive by downvotes" exactly?
Like seeing the content in your all/new feed, and just downvoting the stuff you don't like while scrolling past them. Instead of engaging with the community (with comments or nuanced posts) or ignoring them, it's actively harming communities. Right now it's easy to hate on AI, but it works for any community.
It's almost like the crypto, nft, web 3.0 dicks have shifted to the latest grift of the week.

Funniest part is that I already blocked both communities.
This is ridiculous, in part because you post a lot of interesting content across multiple communities. Yeah, some of it criticizes AI but it's well founded.
I don't like the Fuck AI or the Pro AI communities here because of how polarized they've become. Actions like this make it so much harder to have any kind of discussion.
I think the technology is cool but capitalism sucks. Any time I bring up an interesting application for AI it devolves into personal attacks. Same thing if talk about stolen training data and the psychological impact of AI reliance.
edit: Well fuck me I guess for not believing a technology is intrinsically evil.
don't look at me over here downvoting all the shitty replies
I looked at my mod log recently and saw I had a 30 day ban from an AI community for "brigading". Me and what brigade?? Anyway, nothing of value was lost
You probably downvoted one slop post. Or criticized AI one time.
Just look at the community moderation and laugh.
