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:
Based on the screenshot, they were mostly banned from GenAI communities.
Which seems like a rational response, because they don't want GenAI images in their feed, and now those communities won't be in their feed.(edit- maybe not lol, I should learn more about activitypub)
As much as a downvote feels like a "fuck you" button, it's not really productive to downvote a community's content on principle. That's what the block button is for.
Banning a user does not remove that community's content from their feed.
Definitely, provided that's what actually happened.
I would agree that it's a rational response as a way to protect the community from that kind of behavior.
Huh. I don't know why I assumed a ban worked both ways. My bad!
No big. There's a lot of idiosyncrasies to Lemmy that are unintuitive. I wouldn't expect everyone to be familiar with all of them.
