Pro-AI mod bans me from a bunch of communities I never even heard of because he didn’t like my criticism of the fake slop that isn’t art which he posts.

    I got banned from a ton of ai communities for some mild push back, saying that people value bad art that has a person behind it rather than AI art which doesn’t feel like it has a human story and character behind it. Some of the softest people on the whole fediverse.

    These are ai art communities. If you just wanna shit all over ai I can see why they’d ban you.

    Same mod (probably) banned me over one downvote. Thought about making a post about it back then, but decided that nothing of value was lost anyway.

    Rare example of a problem that fixes itself; ban me as well if you please.

    Had the same experience with exactly the same mod. In my case, I was also banned from [email protected] , which is also modded by that person. I noticed months after the ban, when I couldn’t post to that community.

    That was the only ban I tried to appeal, cuz that was the only non AI community. To be fair, the mod unbanned me from there.

      I bet they do this because they know modlogs are public and doing it will tarnish the good names of whoever they do it to.

    Tbf, your alt account is 4 hours old and has done nothing but antagonize these communities. I don’t like AI either but you picked a dumb fight and received a reasonable mod response. I would have also banned you.

    If you don’t like AI just block those communities bro. Stupid attention seeking behavior.

      Yeah, not to defend the mod, but sounds like he’s acting in bad faith.

        He’s kind of a dick about it, here’s just one example:

        I bet most of their posts and comments are made with GenAI

        Edit: Aww Jeena did I hurt your wittle feewings? Calling you out on the fact that you are a slopper? Well too bad I’m not stopping.

        By the way this dipshit is posting AI slop in their comment images. Just look at their wonderful contribution to the news thread about the death of Norway’s king.

          I get being anti-AI, but to have a account just for raging against it is a bit strange.

          Oh well, its not my time they are wasting lol

            It’s poisoning the whole internet as well as the air and water. It’s worse to not be mad about it and people who normalize it.

              I don’t disagree. I just have bigger problems than rage against AI-art. Maybe when my life is in a state where I don’t have to worry about small things like keeping my mind from shattering or getting enough food for the month, I’ll start spending more time on anti-AI art activities. For now though, I’ll just keep blocking and ignoring users and communities that use and/or support generative AI to produce slop.

    They run a community about hating corporate ai and a bunch of corporate ai communities. I see they outsourced 100% of their brain function to Slop Defecation

      Stable Diffusion isn’t a company, but also, if you’re heavily invested in one side of the argument, controlling your opposition is the best possible outcome. You allow regular dissent because that’s irrelevant and changes nothing, but when actual controversy happens, you can kill it instantly.

      The exact same thing happens all over the world all the time, it’s called controlled opposition.

      Seems mostly Stable Diffusion, which is open source with corporate backing, but I also found the distinction kind of silly. Like, you hate AI if it’s owned by Meta and OpenAI and whatnot, but it’s cool as long as you can use it locally? Still have a lot of ethical implications, although it’s admittedly marginally better.

        It’s all slop which steals from artists. Just because they’re “anarchists” doesn’t give them the right to steal art from other people!

        4 of the 5 founders of Slop Defecation formed a company with the express purpose of continuing work and to profit off of Slop Defecation. That being Stability AI, who has received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. Just because that company is based in Europe and not the United States doesn’t make them any less of a massive corporation now.

        And just cause they say they are anarchists doesn’t make them any less of a horrible human being. They steal billions of people’s work, without proper payment for said work. Not even so much as a line of text stating who they stole from.

        Lastly, obviously the name of the model is not the name of the company. Just like how ChatGPT is not the name of another slop company.

        It’s all corporate slop at the end of the day. Doesn’t matter if no one put their name on it. Stable diffusion sounds like something generated by a slopper “what do I call this image generation AI?” Slopper: “Stable Diffusion”
