Id like to just share how powertrippingly awesome i am
(sh.itjust.works)
This is out of scope for this comm
posts ai slop
nobody wants ai slop
instead of not posting ai slop, ban users who downvote said slop
brag about this like it’s a good thing
OP probably got this idea from AI cos their brain don't work too good
okay? good for you, i guess. i think that's well within your purview since the voting system is meant to grade relevance, not agreement. this is also really standard practice so i don't know why you brought attention to yourself doing it. once i'm back at my laptop i'm going to block your communities because i don't want to see or participate in them. save you some effort
If you’re doing blanket bans from all AI related slop, can you add me to it as well?
I'll take one of those bans, if you're just handing them out!
Do you think instead of downvoting a post, everyone should block a community instead?
excuse me but you aren't aggressive enough for this area.
i haven't really thought about it. generally tho i don't reach out to harm people when they haven't harmed me. so if there is a community i don't want to see, like about some anime, I block it so i don't see it instead of do anything negative to them. I know I'm the minority though.
i mostly use downvotes to feedback bad behavior; nothing to do with communities i don't want to see.
Well you are assuming their stance and intentions ("anti-ai people" and "their intent is to harm content reach")
What if they are just disagreeing with the content, message or post itself? How do you discern the difference?
My boy thinks he's so cool. Friend this is Lemmy moderation. You are not machiavelli. Happy to be banned from all your comms freak boi
Edit: And there's the bans
Edit: LMAO I got banned from their trash instances, at least I won't have to look into the dumpster fire anymore! 🤣🤣🤣 I earned five badges of honor this day. ROFL
Wow, that's kinda, sad...I guess this is what AI lovers are doing these days, desperate for approval instead of accepting their tastes are actually uncommon (weird). Bully for you, I guess; keeping those plagiarism machine genned image posts clean of downvotes isn't worth all that effort in my personal opinion.
Please preemptively ban me from your spam communities!
Wouldn't it be easier to just move your community to an instance that disabled downvotes?
Anyway, why are you so afraid of downvotes? People subscribed to the community will see the posts, others won't. How do downvotes affect this?
Because OP ~~sounds~~ is a child thinking this is power.
I've never understood, how does a mod see who the downvoters are? Or do you administrate an instance as well?

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
