Also (while @db0@hachyderm.io knows this), for those who haven't been tracking closely, here's some of the context.

The truth is revealed.. This was from a couple of weeks ago, and highlights some of the tensions in the threadiverse involving feddit.org, Zionism, and attacks on dbzer0. I haven't dug into this myself but everybody in the thread sees pretty convinced the image was faked. The since-deleted Which instances have the most ban-happy moderators? Analysis inside, posted by Rimu of Piefed. This was posted just a couple days before Rimu posted the ":AI moderation" post. IMHO the analysis here was quite very weak, and the framing of painting dbzer0 as "ban-happy" is problematic (as well as not particularly borne out by the evidence presented, but even if it were, it's not like banning a lot of accounts is necessarily a bad thing). PieFed Flagship Instance Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability & Other Questionable Updates is just in the last couple of days, and highlights some of the overall tensions in philosophy. what the everLLM-ing fuck is going on and Defederation of db0 instances for LLM moderation from awful.systems have a bunch of additional discussion On the recent LLM brouhaha and the FAF stance on LLMs for fediverse moderation Rimu Mass Bans Users EDIT: updated 5/15, with additional links @laurenshof@indieweb.social @ophiocephalic@kolektiva.social @smallpatatas@gotosocial.patatas.ca @onepict@chaos.social
