You used an em dash in your post response. Its extremely rare for a human to do that, but extremely common for LLMs to do so.

I think you may misunderstand how LLMs operate? They generate output that is statistically likely. Things that aren't well-represented in the training data aren't well-represented in the output. And it's very easy to type an em dash (unicode 2014) , especially on my iPad where two sequential dashes are automatically converted into an em dash.

While it's completely fair to criticize OP's accusations, let's please be careful to avoid anything that might be a personal (for lack of a better word Appie would be happy with) attack. Appie do still belong in the queer community, and the Blahaj mods invest a lot of effort into trying to help people learn and grow where others might just swing the banhammer and call it a day. 💖

Wow. 🙄

Counterpoint: The Blahaj moderation team is made up of volunteers doing their best to build a community that is shielded from a never-ending stream of [I so don't want to know]. Of course they aren't perfect but if yall are this unhappy with them and their work, yall might be happier on yall's own server that yall run independently while still interacting with whomever yall choose. Federation is great like that.

Harsh, but fair.
