Thanks for making the post! I know that this is something that would've been best if acted on fast, but I appreciate that you're trying to involve the community.

Yesterday I was very anti-this, but then I saw the brigade happen, and I realized I was wrong. I've changed my opinion. The fuck ai community on here is pretty big, regularly hits all, and there's nothing antis love quite like finding the people they feel morally superior to, and 'punishing' them. Combine that with liberals loving virtue signalling instead of actually helping people who need it, and it's a shitstorm.

For anybody reading this who believes, as I do, that censorship is the evil, please keep in mind that it isn't censorship to protect marginalized groups, and on lemmy, people who admit to using or supporting gen ai are very much the minority. They deserve a space to be able to talk about it without getting hammered by people looking to start a fight over it.

Yeah, I saw that later. This is clearly a bigger problem than I knew until like... two hours ago. But! That's just evidence that the mods and admins are doing a fantastic job!

The person you're replying to might be telling the truth, no way to know, but this instance got a lot of negative interaction from an actual brigade earlier today, so I wouldn't be surprised.

You're allowed to not like stuff in a community. You're allowed to express that displeasure. You're also allowed to not enter or engage with a community that's not aimed at you, and let other people enjoy the things they enjoy.

I think we need a whole new topic for this.

Edit: I guess we're going to be voting on allowing people to bitch about generative AI soon. I'm pretty torn on it, because I am so tired of people bitching ceaselessly on this topic, but also... Censorship is lame.

Did you even read the screenshots? The ban happened on reddit. Has nothing to do with Lemmy.

This is excellent timing. I just got an email last night that my auto subscribed donation to our instance was canceled and I don't know why. I went to just reschedule it and they wanted my cc info but I was waaaay too drunk and in the middle of Pathfinder to go find my card.

Appreciate the reminder. I'll fix that now.

There's a joke here about the transitive property. I can feel it.

Maybe it's because of the brand or something? I get that stupid expensive stuff that makes us less allergic to my cat...

Oh, mine is a heavy, thick, completely opaque container. Good points! I should've made them.

(It's specifically for dog food, but I use it for cat food, and it has a screw on lid.)

Yeah, but they're also refugees. They probably have their own culture and lingo, and even if they didn't, I support making them comfortable until they're naturalized.
