Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

    Every single linked comment works for me - can you provide an example?

    Every comment I checked (there are links) works, and every comment I check exists. And matches whats in the summary.

    Which quote does not exist? You keep saying they don’t, but not saying which.

      Emphasis is important here: The AI generated text includes quotes that do not exist.

      If you see links, you are no longer in the AI-generated text, but rather in an apparently non-curated comment dump.

      For example, surely this is not evidence that the ban is justified… I hope:

      When the Molly hits just right. 
      

      You can argue that the quotes are close enough, but that’s not what quotes are for. And I believe the ban is justified, but it’s very concerning to see how they reach that justification.

        The summary paraphrased? Wow. Whodathunkit.

        If you see links, you are no longer in the AI-generated text,

        Summary.

        but rather in an apparently non-curated comment dump.

        The reference text used for evaluation.

        For example, surely this is not evidence that the ban is justified… I hope:

        Its a direct quote. I don’t follow. What is the misquote?

          Okay, now I see you are being disingenuous.

          Quote marks are for quotations, not approximations.

          And I provided part of the comment dump, which is not the AI “summary”, to demonstrate the dump is not curated.

            OK, what text are you suggesting is a misquote?

            Because you showed a comment that is exactly as written. What’s the misquote? The summary at the top? The quoted comments at the bottom?

            Please provide an example. Your current example is an exact quote of the comment shown as a reference.

                Just because they are minors, doesn’t make them innocent by default.

                The whole article is devoid of details on how these drones are used.

                    Its the exact quote of the comment, related to the summary up top.

                    But go on, continue with your complaint about punctuation use in a summary.

                    It is a summary not a direct quote, the direct quote is further down the list and is the exact text as the post.
