Summary:

I downvoted pro-AI comments in a post in leftymemes community. It was LLM generated polandball comic (Which is objectively pathetic as fuck) that showed up on my feed, blocked couple of users who I thought were unhinged, and have blocked the whole instance on my client after realizing how rabid these morons are.

I didn't go looking for AI posts like a vigilante.

One user in question got miffed for being downvoted and banned me from places they moderate.

Who honestly keeps track of who down votes what? What is this...

I'm constantly getting down votes because of the community topic. I'm making sure that it's not someone habitually downvoting. If it were then I would refer it to the admins. People think flipping = scalping so ancaps and others kneejerk downvote. I fixed some broken consoles this weekend and now I'm going to re-sell them, but they don't understand that. Just like someone downvoted me for using an llm as a search engine to learn how to so something new.

So you keep track of everyone who votes you, then if you decide they've down voted you too much you report them? Instead of accepting they disagree with you often?

I think using an LLM to actually learn anything technical is a bad idea too. I implement and maintain AI systems for our company, I understand the wild amount of confident hallucinations it can have. I would down vote that too.

You seem way too fragile to be online honestly. I don't mean that as an insult, really. But if you get that upset by down votes that you track who down votes you and report them, then the real world will be tough. You can't let that stuff get to you man, especially from nameless, faceless strangers.
