It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    It’s not that deep, it’s just people getting banned over downvoting in communities they don’t contribute to. A debate even older than Lemmy

    I still also can’t fathom the apparently successful effort to start to split people into “pro AI” and “anti AI” camps.

    Yeah, I just don’t get why it’s getting so heated lately https://lemmy.world/post/31072292/17587686

      I was talking about the bans for SoftestSapphic and snoogums among others. Banning people for downvoting stuff from communities they “don’t contribute to” is also stupid, that’s literally how voting is supposed to work: To surface content people want to see and reduce content people object to. It’s honestly not a real great system but deciding that anyone who downvotes your community’s content is obviously an asshole and deserves to be disabled from being able to do that, so that your content will be protected against people who don’t like it using the Lemmy features which are designed for the content they don’t like, is some only-child “you can’t hit me I’m a ghost” fuckin’ nonsense too.
