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.
I’m not seeing any fabricated quotes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are. So long as this is just used as a summary tool and at least some of the posts are vetted I still don’t see a problem.
I am aware how Israel uses ML in their military, I’m just saying I think it’s hyperbole comparing banning someone from a website (negligible harm) with someone getting murdered by a state actor. I also don’t find it ironic that DB0 is using them, ML/AI are just tools. If Israel builds bombs with an arc welder does any use of welding machines make someone a hypocrite for criticizing Israel making bombs? Forgive the crude analogy, it’s the best I can come up with while I’m half paying attention to a meeting.
