    Real braving standing up against… generated witches. smh.

    Seriously though there are real problems with “AI”: surveillance, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc.

    I can’t believe they have so many communities. It’d be one thing if it was different media, like how normal people might have a “painting” and a “photography” community, but it’s not. It’s all one big pile of generated images, and they’ve sorted it by subject… How weird is that!

    Anyway, yeah glad it’s not clogging up your feed anymore. I think that mod went into powertrippingbastards a few weeks ago and commented some nonsense bragging about how they block and ban anyone who downvotes their spam so hopefully we can all get conveniently added to the banlist.

      Every hobby/fandom does this and I don’t think it’s related to AI in this case. I’ve blocked like 27 different versions of scantily-clad-anime-girl-pics communities. Listen to people argue over metal genres or even music genres in general. People really into things tend to go pretty niche with the communities.

        I think I disagree; I know the trope about metal fans and music genres etc, but I would argue that having a “trance” community and a “classic rock” community is fine because it’s the same medium, sort of, in as much as it is all “music”, but its very different and not just because of the subject.

        If the music communities were like “lovesongs”, “happysongs”, “sadsongs”, “angrysongs” etc, I think that would be closer to what this batch of AI spam communities are. Or maybe if it was a community for the key a song is in, like “songsing”, “songsina” etc

      This is just the tip of the iceberg, if you sort by new you can find dozens of these communities. The AI Tech Bros can just keep churning out slop faster than anybody else.

          I hope I did and I hope they continue to make it easier to avoid slop in the feed going forward.

            Odds are very high you were banned for down voting, as the mod has automated the process to ban anyone who down votes but doesn’t comment and applies the ban to all their shitty AI communities.

        that’s not really useful for community building. it just clogs up the logs of your instance mods, while allowing their instance to auto-block.

      The block community option on the pages go away, so you have to block them on the back end.

      Tedious and annoying.
