MODERATORS
 

~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~

/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

I would agree with you if the rudeness was at a similar level, or if the claims made in response weren't absolutely unfounded.

Not to mention a moderator, let alone an admin, should be held to a higher standard.

We're anarchists. We absolutely demand to be held at the same standard as everyone else.

Well that would be nice if at least that was being upheld.

But the point of being held to a higher standard is because trust is an important factor. If an admin can't handle themselves better than the average person, then they shouldn't be entrusted with the responsibilities they carry. That's a standard that is equal for all people. If you are entrusted with responsibility that requires a higher than normal amount of trust, then you are expected to handle yourself in those situations better than the average person

You also just ignored the other point, the main point, so that you can virtue-signal how much of an anarchist you are.

Based on your own actions, or lack of action, it doesn't seem you are here with genuine intent and instead it seems you are here more for damage control.

Our instance trusts us because they can initiate a a recall vote against any admin at any time.

I trust ya more than people who get mad at communities having their own rules and then complain on other communities about it. I don't think I've ever really had a major issue with ya.

Right wing buzzwords, no wonder you don't like anarchists.
