PSA: lemmy.dbzer0.com labels anyone who shows any dislike for AI as a "right-wing neoliberal"
(lemmy.world)
~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~
/--edit--/
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:
No, I'm certain I understand what you're trying to say. It's an overly distilled idea of the term "reactionary" to be "any kind of reaction". You're describing having a "reaction" in the sense of responding to information or stimulus, but that's not what "reactionary" means.
It means being excessively predisposed to having a negative reaction, or to immediately jump to a negative reaction to some sort of change. It's specifically negative in its definition. That's why I say it's an opinion, because it's pushing a specific characterization that having any negative opinion of AI means you are merely acting based on an initial negative reaction, possibly or even likely based on a resistance to change, rather than having an opinion based on a real consideration of the idea and the circumstances around it.
