Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

    Clear PTB.

    Also a nonsensical thread to start with, all conjecture (but calling it fact). I believe someone has misplaced their poop knife or other shit stirring tool, and its making posts.

    Edit: To be clear, I’m talking about the lack of mod action on what is a pretty obvious shit stirring / drama farming post, but instead making an incredibly illogical and uninformed comment about it instead, then taking mod action on snark - while also throwing insults around.

      Curbstickle, it is not “all conjecture.” The thread says it was an AI-assisted ban, and it is one.

      People should also be aware that you have been advocating for the use of AI to ban people, a position that is so extreme that even the db0 moderators explicitly deny doing it.

        Nah that dude would have been bannerd regardless of an LLM, he’s such a lying hasbarabot it’s blatant. The LLM was being tested out, found lacking (and hence discarded) but in this one case produced output which closely matched what the admin had seen themself and so they just used that instead of writing it on their own.

        Oh, now you’re just lying dude.

        I said it makes sense to leverage them to summarize. I never said to use as an automod. Don’t lie about what I said.

          I never claimed your in favor of automodding (curious lie to make up). Simply that you’re in favor of using AI instead of your own eyes to review comments.

            Bullshit you just fucking did.

            I said AI is handy to summarize. You said use it to moderate. Normally I’d just block someone like you, but I want to make sure I can report you when you lie again.

              I said AI is handy to summarize

              …for making moderation decisions. Using AI in the moderation process instead of a human review. That’s so extreme not even Flatworm (The person who generated the AI report) is willing to claim they did.

              It’s weird you turned into such a pedant after telling me words in quote marks don’t need to be exact quotes. Selective outrage I guess

                It’s not an either/or situation. I manually reviewed it, came to a conclusion, then generated the AI summary to see if it was any good. And then I manually banned that user. You are implying a much bigger role for AI than it actually played.

                  Does that mean the ban reason in the mod log isn’t the ban reason?

                  • What value did you get out of the AI generation when deciding on the ban (assuming none based on your reply)?
                  • Maybe more importantly, what value are you attributing to it for those who actually read the logs?

                  Were the quotes in the AI summary actually used for “seeing if it was any good” at the time, and if so, what was the concision?

                LYING AGAIN.

                Using AI to summarize and find the comments, then a person reviews, which I said HOURS before you commented.

                Stop making shit up.

                  A person reviews… The summary? The one with incorrect quotes (which doesn’t bother you for some reason)? Even Flatworm claims the AI summary was not used in their moderation decision.

                  the summary did a much more comprehensive justification of the ban than I could have fitted in the modlog, so why not include it?

                  You can keep being pedantic, but you’re calling for more AI in the moderation than even db0 admins want to endorse.

                    You check a summary, which makes specific references. Which you can then use to find the exact comments.

                    Otherwise you have to manually look page by page through comments.

                    If this concept is hard for you, a remedial English class may help. Its how many documents get written, and would be reviewed in such a class.
