why are you going to bat for someone using unofficial tooling that proved to be extremely unpopular because it was used in a manner that looked like abuse to most observers and qualifies as abuse for instances like ours?
I am not defending them. Trust me I am plenty annoyed that I have to deal with the fallout and the constant disinfo it opened us up on. But at the end of the day, we’re humans and people are new at moderating and new to social media, and don’t always understand how visuals come across and how easy it is for people to pick up the pitchforks, and I’d rather make this a learning moment than a purging moment.
it feels kind of rich to come here angry when other people are asking you to stop. maybe you can just take our word for it that we don’t want an LLM anywhere in the moderation process, even as a post summarizer? you don’t have to understand why if you don’t want to.
For the record: I’m not angry at people telling us to stop. I am angry because we never even started and I keep saying this and it feels like people are just not listening and keep repeating the same disinfo and I have to keep saying “People, this is not true, this is not at all what happened” again and again.
I’d rather make this a learning moment than a purging moment.
absolutely! please show me you’ve learned from this moment by taking a stance against the use of LLMs anywhere in the moderation process and making it part of your instance’s policies going forward.
perform away! please keep in mind that Lemmy and ActivityPub are communities, and the only proof of intent we have is through action. a change in policy might feel performative, but it gives me something I can boost as a positive example and a sign that things will be better going forward.
We’re probably long overdue with an official meta post in our instance about this whole shitshow that we can link on the next time this disinfo is pushed.

I think that would just be performative at this point, but I’ll discuss with the team.
