Are they? They look connected with the ground in this one.

It's possible that not all of it is brigading but when 10 or 12 accounts with no content at all or content that's old as heck come to start downvoting I think it's safe to call that an act of brigading, which is my I'm saying there is brigading.

I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him).

Hey appreciate the commentary but you aren't a woman and this is a women's space.

The fact you aren't banned from dbzer0 is proof enough for me, (at least that it isn't the obvious kind) since multiple other people have been banned for brigading and vote manipulation.

That's good, glad to hear it. That wasn't really something I was arguing against though with the OG claim, as I have no doubt that some probably many of the vote manipulation accounts out there are manually operated.

Not even that, just certain communities here which allow AI. They could make an anti-AI community here if it follows all of dbzer0's rules, is good faith and doesn't encourage trolling or aggression towards others.

Yeah, I wouldn't be either, there have been brigades for a while actually and all the brigaders claim they aren't that it's just "individual opinions". It is hard to know definitively and that's really what they use to not get caught. Even if some of the people I've banned aren't technically brigaders I don't feel bad about it since they were anti-AI trolls in the first place, they don't get anything out of my community. None of them are innocent or have been. OP of this thread certainly also isn't innocent.

I think @[email protected] is probably another one, does have history, but 2 months inactive. Maybe I'm being too aggressive but this Anti-AI brigade is out of control.

Yeah I agree, the Anti AI movement (and it is a movement) is extremely reactionary and doesn't accomplish anything. Certainly isn't helping artists. And yeah they're not even comparable to luddites who went after factories back in the day. Anti-AI trolls are going after individual people, often harassing people, also deciding to use any arguments even ones proven to be lies or faulty. They're inadvertently helping big corporations by making themselves and their movement look like quacks or trolls.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. I’ve proposed in [email protected] to update the instance rules to disallow anti-genAI trolling in communities where genAI is allowed. They can take their pro-copyright-rentseeking campaign elsewhere. Don’t know why they thought it would fly here.

Did you post it yet? I didn't see it there.

Now you have convinced me to block this entire instance because of this abhorrent behavior.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, troll.

@[email protected] You have no post or comment history whatsoever for two years, yet here you are in this thread downvoting comments. Sus...

@[email protected] @[email protected] This is what I mean when I say there is brigading here, people are using bots or their own alt accounts to vote on accounts

You’re conflating an “anti-AI movement” with just not liking AI.

@[email protected] is literally an admin, they have access to voter and user metric data that you don't. Who are you to claim there isn't brigading or a movement going on? That's right you don't and can't actually know better than they do. If I didn't know better I might think you were trying to deny this issue due to your part in it.
