![screenshot from piefed.social, further down the body of the post:I have not named the instances or people involved, to give them time to consider the results of this discussion, make any corrective changes they want and disclose their practices at their own pace and in their own way. I have also redacted the evidence to avoid personal attacks and dogpiling. Let’s focus on the system, not the individuals involved. [sentence highlighted, emphasis mine:] Today these instances are using it and maybe we’re ok with that because it’s being used by communities we agree with but what if people we strongly disagree with used it on their instances tomorrow?](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ed917054-d852-4476-abb3-7839251ff9dd.png)
maaaaybe these unnamed instances are using this to root out reactionary content? (still silly, AI gives you yes or no answers basically on an overcomplicated coinflip and spits out text to justify that initial answer) But c’mon. Freaking out about “people we strongly disagree with” using a sketchy moderation tool on “their instances”?
A specter is haunting the fediverse, and that spectre is
. Well really its mostly lemmy.ml but sometimes they remember we exist too.
It sounds like they’re using this to find “tankie” users and they’re scared that the “tankie” instances will use this (stupid, counterproductive) moderation style on them (lol). Admittedly conjecture on my part.


We should develope an AI honey pot community for liberals that not only creates posts they would get mad enough to comment on but then ban them for doing so.
Well call it “the great filter”.
