      Certain mods will stalk users for “anti-AI” sentiment and preemptively block them over a range of communities. This can include pretending that any downvotes on AI slop are “brigading.”

        Yeah, recently checked my Lemmy.ca accounts modlog and found out that i have been banned from 2 db0 AI communities for 3 months now. Which is fine, because I would have blocked them first if I saw posts from them.

          I wish I knew when I was blocked and was offered a quick “unsubscribe” . I surf by “all” as a lazy git and don’t otherwise notice much.

      Dont know about the former, but have seen the latter. Quite a few people on that instance that get mad when other users systematically downvote all AI generated content they see. I am one of those downvoters so yeah… That doesnt make it a bad instance necessarily tho.

        Maybe im still too fresh off of reddit, but the linked mod’s definition of brigading and vote manipulation seem pretty tortured…

        Brigading logically implies a brigade… like a concerted effort by many people, usually coming over from the same place. To mass manipulate the content of another place.

        And on reddit, ‘vote manipulation’ referred to using bots/ multiple accounts to downvote others while upvoting oneself. See the whole unidan thing.
