They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.

/–edit–/
After second look, that’s not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other “off-topic” comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here’s the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other’s seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don’t think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

    That’s too bad. I joined because of piracy. But they are a bit rigid in their ideologies as one would expect from a niche tech community but this is too much. Where should I go next?

      You’re pro-copyright in matters of AI but anti-copyright in matters of piracy? Weird.

      EDIT: If you’re pro-copyright then you shouldn’t be pirating media, you’re stealing from the hard working and poor creatives at Disney and Universal Studios! That’s evil and bad to copy a 1s and 0s! If you’re anti-copyright, why do you care about what people do in their spare time?
