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:

    … I then come across a post on “fuck_AI”

    For a moment you had me going there, but no, it really does say OP beside your username.

      Yes, I came across another post on this community and remembered it existed. After having a very recent experience that is relevant to the community, in that an instance admin is pushing an “AI or else” attitude, I thought it would be something people would be interested to hear about.

      You’re making me second guess that your intention was to be an asshole. But, now that I think of it, it could be both!
