Hear hear. Playing disagreement police always results in pushing out the people disagreeing with the “neutral” state. What’s neutral depends on the specifics of the community, but this post makes it clear that from moderation’s viewpoint, LLM usage is neutral and any sort of disagreement with that or avoidance of LLMs is not. Removing comments will not erase disagreements, it’ll just push out the underrepresented group, until you’re left with a nazi LLM booster bar. I’m sure moderators are well aware of this. I want an explicit confirmation whether that’s the intention, so that I don’t waste my time.
