Just say AI is useful and don’t back down in a sub like fuck AI or fuck cars. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fact or just calling out an insane meme, there are a lot more bans here if you have positions in the middle.
There is definitely more freedom to say things how you want here but it’s far easier to catch a ban for opposing opinions in many subs.
As someone who loathes ai, hates everything it stands for, and thinks it will have a profoundly negative impact on the world, yeah I think it’s far too easy to escalate things by just casually disagreeing with folks
I don’t agree with you, but unless you’re being an asshole you shouldn’t get banned for that. I think attracting a very specific range of people has created a really echoey idea of right and wrong that people stick to incredibly prescriptively in a way that’s often noth helpful, and simultaneously the small scale can kinda embolden people with authority in some ways, resulting in a lot of variation in how fairly folks get treated across insrances and comms.
It kinda reminds me of how moderately large businesses are pretty much always pretty crap, or heading that direction due to incentive structures, but small businesses run the gambit from really good folks, to an egregious display of humanities worst tendencies- it feels like the lack of scale removes both some of the incentives to be trend towards exploitation, and also some of the scrutiny if they’re horrible.
One of the worst places my best friend ever worked was a small family owned dog kennel. It was absolute hell while she was there. The fediverse is kinda like a lot of small businesses, as opposed to one giant one with perverse incentives but tons of scrutiny on authority decisions
Sorry, at this point I’m just reflecting on how scale and structure changes the problems we face. Hope you have a good one :)
In also dislike ai quite a bit. Im also not going to diwnvote soneone for thier toolset. I do hope people do more research than asking an llm (whoes whole job is to be as convincing as possible including confirming whatever bias you have).
But (preaching to the choir here probably) the whole idea of these platforms is to have conversations and share info. We can be civil and not downvote to oblivion people that have different opinions.
Website won’t let me link. Political memes. I think the meme draws a false dichotomy and don’t believe to just trust women but I’m misogynistic and banned. I’m actually not even able to read content, so I’m not sure if that’s a bug or a new mod feature but my point is you can pick up an easy ban for having moderate positions and calling out shitty propaganda.

I do all of these things and I’ve not been catching bans left and right at all.
