from the mod log:
The output from the LLM was provided as proof that someone needed to be banned.
I didn’t want to do this but my hand was forced by their dissembling, minimization and bullshit. Note how the output includes a nice big logo with a slogan and ascii graphics - this was not a one-off experiment, this is an app they were proud to call their own.
I would concur with this assessment.
I’ve not had many run ins with Rimu myself but the ones that I have had have been… tense. For example, he said that he believes that Lemmy devs should have added guardrails to Lemmy in order to stop it being, as he described, “overrun with memes”. So he hardbaked in something that marked meme communities as “low effort”. He doesn’t like reaction gifs so he hardbaked in something that gave negative reputation to people using reaction gifs. Oh yeah, and he made up the whole reputation garbage all over again so certain users could be more valuable than others.
Yeah. It really does feel like he is trying to be the king of the fediverse and slip his opinions in wherever he can. Then when someone notices it, he fights against it before eventually adding on a toggle.
Edit: Only made more clear by the fact that my comments critical of him are not visible on piefed.social.
