Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

            an slopper

            Not sure what a “slopper” is. Is that when people make note of sloppy grammar?

            constantly trolling in our comms

            This is what you have chosen to believe and regurgitate in spite of a lack of any real evidence or basic reasoning.

            How could I be “constantly trolling in [your] comms” having blocked the instance months ago? Your whole claim immediately falls apart as soon as you apply any logic.

            A while back I had made a few complaints about AI slop in dbzer0 not knowing about the secret hidden rule of that instance that you cannot make any reasonable complaints about AI or else you will get targeted and swarmed by frothing users and power-tripping admins/mods. Then, absolutely wild claims and accusations, at the conspiracy-theory level, were made by, and/or supported by, dbzer0 users/mods/admins and any cult-like followers of the such with a complete disregard for even simple logic, like Occam’s Razor. After some failed attempts to defend myself with reasoning from those insane claims and accusations, while admins participated or supported the mob, I had blocked the instance. Since then, I still get dbzer0 cult people following me around and harassing me with the same baseless claims you’re flinging at me now.

            db0 did absolutely nothing but help support the mob-behavior,. They even supported the dbzer0 brigade of fuck_AI by showing up themself and acting like a typical politician making false claims and conveniently ignoring points in order to spin the narrative to support the aforementioned behavior.

            So, yeah. I’m not a fan of db0 or the entire instance, thanks to shitty behavior like you’re showing here.

              Slopper are assholes who go around hijacking comment threads to tell everyone about what they think of genAI “slop”. So I think you fit the description just fine.

                Let’s analyze this encounter here to show how you and your like really like to act.

                1. Someone says “x person is chill”.
                2. I respond pretty simply “That has not been my experience at all”
                  • That is putting it nicely, even. Just simply disagreeing based on actual experiences with them.
                3. You reply with a needlessly rude response making wild claims with no proof or evidence.
                  • Trying to start shit, as your cult fam puts it. No chill.
                4. My response
                  • I start off by rebuffing your attempt at an insult. Again, you’re needlessly
                  • Then I point out very simply that your claims already fall flat as soon as you but any effort into thinking about your claims.
                  • I follow up with an explanation of my position with my experience and reasoning behind it.
                5. You double-down on trying to start shit. Clearly attempting to escalate.
                6. You triple-down with an objectively childish response of some sort of image of a baby. The irony is unbelievably hilarious. This message was such an asshole move that the mod removed it.

                Based on this alone, you have already established that you are the asshole here.

                But let’s take a little walk down this road a bit and analyze this further.

                Your whole position is that you are allowed to be a childish asshole to me because I make comments about my frustration with AI slop. First, it’s really only occasionally when I make a few comments here and there about AI slop, and many times it’s literally because the AI slop has been posted in a community that explicitly forbids it — I’m such an asshole for that! But, let’s assume my intention is to be annoying about it and bother people by basically saying “ugh more AI slop”, is that really a good reason to act like you have been here, let alone fucking everywhere I go where you seem to not stop harassing me about having a fucking different opinion than you?

                The simple fact is: I just don’t like AI the same way you and other people do and it can be very frustrating at times. There is not some sort of shadow cabal with the sole purpose of following around AI users and working together to mob and brigade AI communities. That’s much closer to what you and many dbzer0 users are actually doing(examples: [1], [2], I had more easy links but I can’t link to them due to being deleted because a user was banned or the mods removed them). The claims of brigades is literally just because of a coincidence due to the fact there are a significant amount of people who are frustrated by AI. That’s the simplest and most straightforward explanation that you and others are conveniently ignoring.

                Additionally, there are plenty of valid and reasonable reasons to have issues with AI, to list only some of them:

                • The fact it’s exponentially adding to the enshitification of nearly everything by being shoved into products and services that don’t need it and driving up the costs of services with no way of declining and keeping things as they were at the same cost
                • Being used as a weapon of misinformation and disinformation
                • Pushing the dead internet theory closer and closer to a full-blown reality
                • The profiting off other people’s work by plagiarism, copyright infringement, and maliciously scraping content creating a strain on people’s resources that they have to pay for
                • People unintentionally spreading misinformation and disinformation by because AI generated content was not explicitly tagged as such
                • Corporations using it to make fucked up decisions that would not have been an option without it
                • The constant overhype and mischaracterization of its capabilities
                • The fact it’s fucking everywhere and so much so there is literally nowhere you can go without AI having corrupted it somehow

                And yet, you think it’s okay to go around acting like a wad of rotting dick cheese to people because they don’t agree with your perspective on AI because “omg people won’t stop saying they don’t like AI!”. Come-fucking-on.

                I’m so fucking tired of you and the other dbzer0 nutbags.

        That’s legit. The UN report clearly found that people from the Hamas side of the fighting had committed widespread sexual assaults. Bringing up misleading talking points and blog posts to try to spin it around into the report finding the opposite is textbook misinformation.

        I actually don’t agree with banning people for this type of misinformation, I think arguing back in kind is the right way in most cases. But if you’re going to ban misinformation (which most of Lemmy seems to think is okay), then this is a pretty reasonable ban.

        (It’s probably offtopic to get into an extended argument about the original Hamas sexual assault claims under this post… if anyone wants to re-inaugurate my whole “debatebro” community by having it out with me there about it though let me know and I’m down a little later today.)

        Db0 is still very chill and understanding.

        Not really. Db0 constantly bans folk for extremely petty and inconsistent reasons, especially if they dare to express political views he doesn’t like.
