While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?
I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?
We have a few communities regarding GenAI, but the opposite is the case: we had to implement a rule to stop external mass downvoting and brigading in those communities
It’s not “a few communities” it’s every community unless explicitly stated otherwise, according to the mods.

If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.
I appreciate you doing your part to fact check, but I invented that rule, and I always have the receipts. Don’t come for the king.
Case in point, the thread in question was removed, but I was able to find the relevant comment through the search function. A comment from Unruffled, reading:
If the community rules don’t ban GenAI images then you can assume a) they are allowed, and b) complaining about them is not allowed.
As a follow up, I asked, “Is there any way to get a list of .dbzero communities that do/don’t ban AI so that I don’t have to block your entire instance?” to which they replied, “Lol must keep your eyeballs pure eh?”, at which point I blocked the whole instance.
You’re free to ask Unruffled to clarify their stance or ask some other mod who might overrule them or whatever, but until you can show me a statement otherwise, I’m assuming that the rule is:
If the community rules don’t ban GenAI images then you can assume a) they are allowed, and b) complaining about them is not allowed.
Because that’s what I was very directly told.
