Strangest feeling of deja vu…

The horse is a show horse trained to wear costumes that has been performing for years, at least according to the article I found last night. No mention anywhere I could find of the horse refusing to let them take the costume off, however the horse is very cute so I’m willing to negotiate on suspending my innate dislike of horses just this once.

I mean… as far as I can find the story is fake, but the costume is both real and wonderful!

Aii

Don’t get too excited folks, Nadella’s never been right about anything before…

They banned me from StableWerewolves and that doesn’t even have any posts for me to have downvoted. And for the more active ones, I can’t find another post I’ve interacted with in StableDiffusionWitches (or the dragons one, or several others I was banned from). Unless there’s more there that I’m not seeing I literally was banned from SDWitches because of a single downvote (from seven months ago).

I’m not saying “don’t ban the trolls”, that’s obviously fine - someone downvoting the majority of your posts across your communities isn’t interacting in good faith. But you can’t honestly say I’m a troll, I’ve got what four downvotes accross all of them, of which two might be federation issues? Should I really be getting mass-banned with a "no you’re the problem for not liking us enough >:( " message?

If I’m a troll I’m the worst troll ever, and that’s why I’m saying those mods are being hypersensitive - even in the best case that it’s not just a federation issue with the downvotes and I really did do it, I’ve gone seven months with four interactions. They need to tune whatever method they’re using to decide who’s a troll, because if that is the threshold they’re clinging to to justify how persecuted they are that is incredibly unhealthy. Even r/conservative, the biggest exclusionary echo-chamber I can think of, is more lenient with their bans than the StableDiffusion[Family] mods are being. Are they really so much more reviled than actual unapologetic nazis that they need to be this hypervigilant?

Maybe the reason they get people DMing them isn’t just that they run communities devoted to AI slop (and it’s incredibly trendy to do things like call it “AI slop” right now), but also that they’re banning people from communities with no content, for no good reason, and with a very rude victim-blaming message while they do it? And that’s a shitty thing to do?

You downvoted the comment where I explain that I think there’s a technical issue so it’s not like you can claim you didn’t see it. And on top of that, their comment even demonstrates they banned me over a single downvote - are you really going to pretend like you can claim a victory here? The instance admin themselves just came in and demonstrated my criticism was absolutely correct.

So… they literally do ban from a community over one vote? Assuming your examples are right, I’ve interacted with StableDiffusionWitches once and now I’ve been banned.

Honestly, is the tool they’re using broken, or more likely just… not very good? Regardless something funky is going on, because you’re accusing me of having downvoted a post which you can see on my UI doesn’t show as having been downvoted - the other downvote in Stable Diffusion Art also just doesn’t show as something I’ve downvoted. Does the tool not account for un-downvoting content, maybe? I occasionally bump downvotes while scrolling, which I then undo - but I don’t even know if that’s what happened here.

It doesn’t really matter though - this is absurd behavior for a community to be engaging in. Even accepting the records are right, two of the four votes I’ve been condemned over were from seven months ago. That’s not “downvote troll” behavior, and it’s not even indicative of behavior from someone who cares enough that they need to “tailor their feed.”

Again, I didn’t care about them at all until I was banned from there. Now, I think they’re hypersensitive and need to be coddled so they don’t have to accept that their content is wildly unpopular with the wide userbase, and that you’re trying to defend that behavior with the weakest possible argument you could make for… some reason. Tell them to tone it down, maybe? Because this is ridiculous?

Sure, and theyre abusing that tool. I just went through every single post in that community for the last year+ and the only other interaction I have had with their content was here, where I upvoted a post I didn’t realize was AI:

These mods are pretty clearly just out of control, and it is embarrassing that db0 is allowing them to act like this. It’s ridiculous they presume they should be allowed to force their slop on /all browsers but they also get to mass ban people who didn’t care prior to ever being prevented from interacting with them over literally a single downvote.

It’s almost like you can just go check and see that it was literally just one:

For one bad post? I don’t even mind the content generally, I just didn’t like that post and they’re so sensitive they couldn’t handle it. That’s really not on me if one downvote is all it takes to trigger them to ban me from five different communities.

IDK man, I just got banned from there today for downvoting a post that I just thought was bad - I didn’t even realize it was from an AI slop community until I got the ban notification.

Seems like maybe it’s hypersensitive mods in this case.

You don’t even merit my contempt, but you think you deserve my compassion? Buddy at best all you can hope to get from me is pity and even then that would be me being generous.

Edit: Struck a nerve, huh?

Christ, couldn’t I at least live rent-free in the head of someone compelling? Did you legitimately just try and “No u” your way out of doing a shitty thing? God, you can’t even cope with criticism when you go out and beg for it.

“Oh tee-hee, did I harass you? It’s not a big deal, I just used you as an example Im just a smol lil bean, feel free to ignore me!”

The reason you keep getting negative reactions to your content is because you’re the kind of person comfortable behaving like this in public.

“Almost everything on Linux is easier to set up than on windows” has me rolling. This shit is exactly why people dismiss Linux as an option - linux enthusiasts refuse to accept the flaws in the OS, and that means those flaws never get addressed. God, or they’ve never had to deal with a driver incompatibility before, maybe they’re just leading a charmed life…

And this is from someone that’s daily driven Linux for well over a decade. Like it’s a better option than windows, but it’s not so great that there’s not aspects that need to be improved.

Oh god, now you’re tagging me in your unhinged bullshit? This persecution fetish is really getting to be too much.

It might not be the best idea to expect this to 1:1 emulate history - ICE is being set up to be both the SA and SS, but neither exactly resemble the former groups. It’s a useful metaphor, but overfitting is possibly a trap for us to fall into.

Are there nonabrasive dishwasher detergents?
