@anarchiddy@lemmy.dbzer0.com makes some excellent points below. You should maybe chill and take them on board. It's easy to leap to the wrong conclusions based on faulty assumptions.

Also, this is way off topic.

personally i recommend @masterdating its cleaner and less chance of the pox

Recommend you just change the dinner conversation topic to women in the military because that's always a winner.

My bad, I didn't realise it was an option. Next time!!

If I add the keywords now will the bot pick it up, or just runs the one time?

Yeah, a few folks have made a similar suggestion to make it more of a general rule. Thanks for your feedback. I'll update the wording with a v2 soon.

That seems like an unlikely scenario to me. Like, could it happen? Yes, I suppose it's not impossible. But in the rare event, its easy enough to file an appeal if a wrong call is made somewhere.

That virus was simply irresistible.

Cheers to poetic prose!

You made a good comment for the rest of us to read in any case 👍

I think I understand what your saying. To clarify are you saying that in lefty memes, for example, if someone went through a bunch of posts and just downvoted the genAI ones would they get a community ban? Probably not, and I doubt I'd even notice or care unless the comments were getting dogpiled again, or there was some obvious use of dodgy downvote accounts that needed to be addressed. The rule is intended more for the GenAI specific communities, like the Stable Diffusion ones, which are all GenAI, where the community wants to be able to enjoy their interests in relative peace and safety.

Yeah I could get on board with that.

If someone is systematically downvoting every post in a community, then that is not organic voting imo, it's an attempt to suppress the community. And it is usually pretty apparent. That's what the block community feature is for. I think it's legit for the mods to community ban those folks. I know some folks argue "votes don't matter" but it can be upsetting to have trolls shit all over your community every day. There's nothing to be gained from allowing it. We also have an appeals channel if anyone feels the rule was unfairly applied, to help make sure it's not abused.

Thanks votey mcvote bot

100% agree.

Yeah you could be right. I'll post one now, to run alongside these simplification changes.

I notice you aren't disputing the facts here, just the source.

This article touches on many of the same talking points if it's more to your liking in terms of "credibility" rating. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/aoc-dnc-speech-gaza/

If you read the article it actually argues that we shouldn't give up on AOC, despite the lie, because although it was disingenuous, that's just the nature of politicians. She's still one of the best the Dems have got. I don't know why folks are going into deflection and denial mode over it, it was an obvious lie at the time and now it's confirmed. The Dems don't get a free pass here, any more than the orange man.

Nobody complains when I post one of thousands of fact checks on shit Donald trump says, but the Dems are real touchy.

100% agree with you - it's the very definition of reactionary. And in order to buy into the anti-AI argument you have to accept the argument that IP property rights are legitimate, so it's essentially a neo-liberal position. Property rights are the foundation of right wing politics. That's why we have copyleft.
