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.
Maybe tailor your feed.
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.
I'm sure it was "just one". For sure.
It's almost like you can just go check and see that it was literally just one:
FYI they have tools that tell them all the downvotes you've ever sent in that community, so if you saw one bad post a month and downvoted it without knowing it's AI, their tools will make it look like you're a "downvote troll", whatever that means.
