A random awful.systems user posted the recent disinfo about the FAF using LLMs for moderation. I went in and tried to clarify the situation, and I admit I got kinda upset when they kept ignoring my statements in order to be snarky. Eventually I believed we reached an understanding but I was sadly mistaken which I should have imagine as awful.systems residents kept downvoting all my replies.

As I finished writing a post to explain our official instance policy, I noticed they just jumped to defederation anyway, the reason being…the same disinfo I just went through a lot of effort to debunk. They just called my debunking of the disinfo as “DARVO” which is just disgusting trivialization of harasser behaviour by @dgerard, but I digress.

Anyway I finished my post and once I posted it in our instance, I thought they would at least allow me simply to link to it to provide what we actually believe.

Lol, nope, instant delete and ban

Here’s their charming admin casually admitting that even though we explicitly told them this is not what we’re doing, they just going to disbelieve and make up their own headcanon.

Anyway, I shouldn’t be surprised, dgerard has been known to spread disinfo, so this is just more of the same.

      Well … some healthy disbelief seems apropos here.
      If you are in a fight with Awful Systems over who can be the most awful, they fukin win. Every time.
      But your name in particular comes up in mod complaints quite a bit. There might be a reason for that. I mean, look how you responded to this person. Seems like a debatable point, at very least.

          Sure. You’re a polarizing figure.
          We don’t cross paths much. Mostly I just see people complaining about you.

            I guess that says something about the groups/places you’re in. Also make sure you’re not confusing me with my instance. Sadly a ton of people say db0 when they mean the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com

              Ya. I know the difference between your nic and your instance.
              It doesn’t say much, really. Lemmy isn’t that big. I avoid politics if I can, but its not always possible.
