The place where it gets controversial is that we say gender, race, species, and divinity are also social constructs. Neither inherently true nor false, but rather a choice we make as society, and should therefore treat with responsibility and kindness. We piss off the transphobes by saying trans people exist, the kinphobes by saying otherkin exist, the human supremacists by saying animals deserve rights, the atheists by saying the gods exist, the monotheists by saying ALL the gods exist, and the white realist liberals by saying indigenous myths are literally true, and the rainbow serpent truly did make Australia, North America truly is on the back of a giant turtle, and the big bang truly did create the universe, although Elohim created Jewish people.

We believe everyone about their own cultural truths, and that pisses off all the exclusionary realists.

I only support the inclusion of the feature if there’s also an option to convert all ths into thorns. Fair is fair.

Yep! Multiverse is an anarcho-antirealist instance. We believe consensus reality is a social construct created by the bourgeoisie to oppress us, and that the master’s tools will not dismantle the master’s house. A communist revolution will only succeed when we abandon bourgeois realism.

No, the 4chan filter is documented. And I actually think it’s a pretty neat feature. Despite being a communist, I’m not quite enough of a left wing radical to want to use it, but I still appreciate what it’s made for. But I understand why the radical centrists who made the Lemmy software would see no use for it.

What I really want is an equivalent that bans Xitter screenshots. I don’t want to give Musk’s Nazi bar any more attention.

Interesting. If this is intentional, it could be easy to change. Maybe I’ll take a look at the code tomorrow and see if I can change it

Don’t worry, there’s a communist PieFed instance that has the 4chan filter turned off. It’s called MULTIVERSE. However, you can’t reach it from lemmy.ml and ideologically aligned instances, because their admins are state capitalists who would break our rules if they were allowed to. We only allow capitalists who are here to engage in good faith, whether that means being open to changing their minds, or just arguing respectfully with care for the value of other people’s time and energy.

Thorn fiasco?

Today I finally realised arr is a pirate joke

You can’t choose what order channels are in, for one thing

FYI they have tools that tell them all the downvotes you’ve ever sent in that community, so if you saw one bad post a month and downvoted it without knowing it’s AI, their tools will make it look like you’re a “downvote troll”, whatever that means.

Being right some of the time doesn’t mean they’re right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.

After seeing all the times they labelled someone a troll just for downvoting posts they don’t like, I don’t trust their judgement. I think they’re too close to the issue. It strikes Me as paranoia. Nobody is making an alt account so they can downvote one post every couple of months, it just doesn’t fit the pattern the mods say is there.

With a community like Imaginary Witches, a lot of people like seeing cool drawings of witches, as long as they’re by a talented artist. A user might see an AI generated witch as a detriment to the Imaginary Witches community they want to see. Or they might not even realise it’s AI, and just downvote it for being poorly drawn in their opinion. So it makes a lot of sense not to block a community when you’ve only ever seen four bad posts from it over the past ten months.

TL;DR: The dbzer0 community decided to start banning people for downvoting AI generated posts. They said they’d only ban people who come to a community and do mass downvotes, but Ace T’Ken downvoted four AI posts that showed up in the feed across a period of ten months, and was still banned from several communities by a prominent dbzer0 mod. There was also a side plot involving some person or group of people impersonating every major actor involved in the drama, which is why so many comments in the thread are removed.

There were several other drama threads related to the voting bans:

I remember a few more discussions from back when all this was new, but didn’t have as easy a time finding them.

I haven’t experienced that personally but I trust you with My life, SatansMaggotyCumFart. You’ve always been right about these things before.

But doctor, I am Pagliacci!

dbzer0 definitely has a problem with banning people for voting

Einstein showed Newton was wrong about gravity

I find it quite sad that you don’t believe chocolate tastes good. I do, and the fact brings Me happiness, despite its subjectivity.

The belief in an objective reality is the source of all bigotries and nearly all oppressions. It’s the reason for religious genocides, transphobia, capitalism, and zionism. You believe in less reality than the people who do those things. You’re less realist. I want you to go further, be more radical, believe in no reality. I think you haven’t gone far enough yet.
