Summary:

I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.

I didn't go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.

One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.

Let's see if I can help cut through the communications problem by assembling everything in one place with short, simple bullet points:

  • OP was in leftymemes and spotted an LLM-generated meme he didn't like
  • OP exercised his right to downvote a post he didn't like in a forum he was participating in
  • the person who posted the meme got salty and banned OP from the communities they moderate
  • these communities happen to be hosted on dbzer0.com, a noted AI-boosting instance
  • OP took a look, started blocking some of the more extreme voices before deciding to just block the whole instance

(This is what I get from reading the original post and a bit of extra in the comments. If I'm wrong on any point, OP, let me know.)

Does this help clear up the misunderstanding?

I really doubt they got banned for downvoting a single post.

More is going on that they conveniently left out.
