~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~

After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

Yep I would never really describe myself a fan of any sort of tool. That would be like describing oneself as a fan of hammers, or pencils. They're very useful tools. But I'm not sure I'm a fan of them like in a general concept sense LOL.

It's all about the application. A pencil can be used to inspire and express oneself, or oppress. I would be a fan of the former but not of the latter. A hammer can be used to build shelter for the needy, or to murder. Again I would be a fan of the former but not the latter. But not a fan of pencils or hammers themselves it really is kind of a silly argument.
