The interpretation of those two jumping in to be rude as hell is not exclusive from acknowledging disagreements in the past. Particularly in that is already implied with my original comment there as I referenced my experience.

There was absolutely no reason for those two to act that way there, even if their intention was to attempt to point out that they think I was in the wrong in the previous encounters. "I think you were the one in the wrong at those times you're referring to." Or something along those lines accomplishes the same goal without being an asshole or making clearly false claims.

Ironically, their choice to be such assholes in that circumstance adds quite a bit of evidence that the dbzer0 people were the ones in the wrong.

-- Edit --
Actually, your links provide proof of the lies as well. That was when I blocked the dbzer0 instance, as I mentioned in those threads, and that was 3 months ago. So, how could I have been "constantly trolling in [dbzer0's] comms" as Flatworm/Unruffled claimed? That's exactly the kind of shit that I'm talking about. These admins, as well as some mods and users, are willing to straight up lie. And since they are admins, users have a tendency to just believe them and not even bother looking into things themselves.

Edit: I don't care about pro or anti-AI, but this seems to be the new division point around her

I thought the division point was zero? lol.
Should it be lemmy.dba1.com now?

What other interpretation could there even be?

My comment made no claims regarding the user from the main post or actions against them, it was only in regard to the claim about db0. That's why I explained that the only context has to do with that first comment thread.

I was not rude at all, just that I disagreed. Why does that mean it's okay for those two to jump in to rudely make false claims?

The real context is that I was merely disagreeing with db0 being chill based on my own experience. Flatworm/Unruffled and Eugene then busted in being rude as hell for just disagreeing. You supported that behavior.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (6 children)

dbzer0, actually. I literally just had a recent encounter with the admin Flatworm/Unruffled where they decided to needlessly pick a fight. They were backed up by other dbzer0 users, including @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com, in fact.

Ending? Let's start with that one!

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

omg they said the popular fad thing

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I was under the impression that they only did that when they were low on nutrients or something.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't expect perfection from anywhere. But yeah, nowhere better to go is kinda the main issue. I feel trapped and surrounded.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Explained in another comment but trying to even explain is just making me want to delete everything.

It's more than a few. It's several admins, a handful of their followers, nearly an entire instance's users (even after blocking it), prolific posters that mod dozens of comms and people will rally behind them regardless of how much of an asshole they are being to you, and even one user in particular that was banned but is now hiding under a new account.

It's also partly how the platform works which feeds the most toxic users. It's how the platform seems to entice people into stricter tribalistic behavior than other platforms. Say anything that might be construed as negative towards one of the many things these groups base their entire identity on and you get swarmed by them and you can't even defend yourself. You get downvoted to hell and they get upvoted for being assholes by their other cult-like followers. Not that votes "matter", but it just makes it feel shitty when someone decides to be an asshole to you and they get supported for it while trying to defend yourself only gets more people against you.

There's more, but trying to describe it all is making me feel worse.

This place sucks. It's absolutely awful that I feel this is actually true, but reddit was better than this.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (20 children)

I wish I felt the same way, but other users are making it frustrating and draining. I'm contemplating leaving. But, I don't know of anything similar to browse, other than Reddit and I refuse to use their app or pay a subscription for another.

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.

 

Edited version of this meme

 

~~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 greatly like to be able to filter posts that link to certain domains.

For example, I want to filter all posts that link to the gamingonlinux website, because the owner of that website sucks and I find that site to be overall useless.

 

I guess that this 50501 movement has somehow gained some recent popularity from somewhere, but the sheer volume of content, communities, and even instances seems weird.

Where did this all come from and why did it seem to come as a sudden flood?

 

Is there a way to limit the size of posts in the "full" layout? I prefer this style over the cards, but some posts are really.... really.........reaaaallly long.

Does anyone happen to know of a list of items that can burn?

For example, if I want to set off a fire trap but don't want to lose an item.

Thanks!

 

Today, I changed the batteries in all my smoke detectors. I noticed that the battery light in one was blinking. Instead of only replacing the one with a new normal 9v battery, I ordered a pack of 10-year lithium 9v batteries and replaced them all. Now I don't have to worry about changing them for a handful of years.

Edit - Funnily enough, dinner put them to the test. I was going to test them tomorrow when the kiddo is at daycare.

 

I noticed the other day that the majority of the content on !comicstrips@lemmy.world are made by accounts that are deleted after making some posts. Most often no comments are made by these burner accounts, but sometimes they will create a new separate account to respond to comments.

Is there any real privacy benefits for this over something like having a single separate account you post only images and no text posts?

Is there a tool that facilities creating short-term accounts like this?

 
 

Recently, I saw a post on Lemmy of an article that piqued my interest, at least enough to try to validate the information in it. When I followed the link, I was greeted with a clearly AI generated image (it showed trump with an extra finger).

I immediately lost trust in the article and made a comment regarding that. (Link)

But the reaction to this was surprising to me. I got a response stating that the author has a background of being an established writer and reporter, as well as received a lot of downvotes. However, no one responded to my points on the use of AI.

My thoughts are that if you are making money on something, then you need to avoid AI when possible and reasonable.

What's going on here? Am I wrong and this is somehow an acceptable use of AI?

[Edit] side note of something that that just occurred to me: don't go to that thread to manipulate the votes or start ""brigading"" against it for the AI. I just wanted to discuss it here. Thanks.
