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:

    When an instance admin is pushing an “AI or else” attitude, I consider that relevant. Though, it does have a significant drama element to it. If that’s still not acceptable in spite of apparent relevance, just let me know and I’ll excuse myself.

      I don’t have an issue with the topic you posted in-and-of-iteself. It’s not like we have clear-cut rules here beyond the name of the community, to which absolutely it’s relevant.

      What bugs me is how heated people are getting over an incident that’s not even in this community. I’m not going to take mod action here over posts in another community, and it seems silly/petty that the conversation about it here is generating so many user reports.

      And I mean, look at my own post history - I get heated about shit too. I get it. We -self included- need to just take a fuckin’ chill pill sometimes.
