(1) What is the definition of "AI drivel," and who gets to decide? (2) Can anyone, anonymously, flag anything, for any reason? Is there an appeal process? (3) Who are these moderators that are policing a so-called open forum? (4) How is Lemmy.world any different from a Reddit fiefdom of absolute authority? (5) What is the point of these forums if not to share information? If I do not wish to hear someone's opinion or political rant does that mean I have the right to flag their post for moderation (that would seem to set a dangerous precedent)? (6) Furthermore, is it not the case that history has shown time and time again that popular beliefs are not necessarily correct (ptolemaic epicycles, geocentrism, alchemy, et al)? And at the risk of burning virtual heretics who may, just maybe, have some insight into the next "new" popular beliefs (the standard model was not immediately accepted), should we not favor open and liberal idea exchange?

The moderator of that community came to that conclusion. You could try messaging them.

Lemmy.world isn't really, but notice how I'm not signed up there?
