I’m glad you’re engaging now, and plan to take action.
While I appreciate the apology, I have to point out that you originally upvoted their comment digging up an irrelevant comment of mine and lying about it. That’s harassment.
It was also in response to a comment I made as a reply to their comment where I was calling them out for posting porn.
That’s a bit more than just “mindless.” I hope you consider taking more care in the future.

I have been posting memes to this sub with high up-votes. There is a group of users who are going around to your sub and harassing/down-voting your users for using AI. The irony here, which is what I was trying to point out, they use AI memes themselves, just go through their posts. If I am being banned for using alts, then you should also look at the gang of users, gofsckyourself@lemmy.world being one of them, and how they tag team your users. This issue didn’t start with using alts, it started with them harassing…and down-voting… about using AI, which to my knowledge, is not illegal on your sub, else most of your posters would be banned. This all reminds me of why I left reddit.

Irrelevant. Having lots of votes does not give you any right to mistreat people and break the rules.
Many people do not like AI for very valid reasons. There is even a community with over 3,000 subscribers because how people dislike AI -> lemmy.world/c/fuck_ai
This is a flat-out lie. For example, you claim my comment, where I remade a meme to get a higher quality version and shared it, was AI but that image has been around since 2015 and the meme has been around since 2019.

It started with you harassing people and posting a porn image. You brought attention to yourself with disgusting comments which made me notice the odd pattern of votes. Because why would people upvote someone who is harassing people by digging up irrelevant comments and lying about them as well as posting porn and even worse without even tagging it?

Look, I get how anti AI content / actual harassment in some cases are extremely annoying. Nowadays most conflict on this instance is about some users hating, or even harassing/sending suicide DMs to our users; the first one is a jackass move, but not bannable I think. The latter is not tolerated in any way.
If you ever get a comment like that, ignore them; getting into these types of conflicts on Lemmy is just mentally exhausting and not worth it.
I sympathize, but you couldve asked us on how to handle this, not use vote manipulation with 4 accounts.
And to the person you replied to with the porn comment; they weren’t accusing you of anything, just saying that the og comment author didn’t use any AI.
For the second accusation of gofsckyourself using an AI image; I genuinely couldn’t tell if it was AI or not so I’ll ignore it.
I’m not sure where to go from here but perhaps the other admins know what to do. I’ll DM you later and clear this up.

Yes, these anti AI tag team members are annoying. It is a sub trying to make people laugh and point out ironic situations. The world is dark enough. These anti-AI hypocrites and trolls make it even darker. Thanks for understanding. I will reach out to you if the situation happens again. If you wish to ban me, let me know, but you will still have these same members going after your sub…deliberately negating its true intent.

If you find yourself in this type of conflict again, report, DM or use the disengage rule (in the sidebar) I’ll let you know what we decide on later (other admins aren’t active yet)
