It would be a shame to blanket ban posts with generative content because of two low quality posts. A mod took over a community and just banned AI posts for no reason. That made me pretty sad.

No it wouldn't.

AI slop is garbage. That's a good enough reason.

AI posts had been explicitly allowed in the past, and there had been several well-liked posts in the community. Not a single person broke the old rules, which were very sensible, so a blanket ban without consulting the community was not good moderation IMO.

That’s not what we’re doing here, no rules have been changed right now because of 2 posts. We are however considering what needs to change, and what the next steps are without being too reactionary in response to this thread.

I’m assuming you believe we should allow AI posts, so I would be interested to know why?

There are some cool FF things going on that aren't low effort or otherwise rule breaking, and I'd like to be able to report on them here.

What are they and what’s stopping you from reporting on them here? Being vague doesn’t help us with these decisions and doesn’t help us understand what people do and don’t want to see, or share.

While I haven't found anything FF related that's high enough quality that I want to post here yet, a blanket ban would keep me from being able to do so in the future.

How so? Are you unable to actually write anything by yourself?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't get what you mean.

How would banning AI-generated content prevent you, a human being, from posting anything here?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If the subject is banned I can't post about it.

If the only thing you want to post is AI slop, we're all better off if you don't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you can't be civil and respectful, we’d all be better off if you didn't comment.

I haven't insulted any content made by any actual human beings. Midjourney's not going to cry because I called its output trash.

It sounds like there's been some kind of misunderstanding. I can tell you that you have some strong opinions, but you should discuss them in a constructive manner instead of breaking community rules.

Given our differing opinions and knowledge on this topic, I don't think further communication will lead to any meaningful discussion, so let's leave it here. I can't say it has been a pleasure, goodbye.
