OP, you reading this wrong on many levels, review the comments and provide proper post on

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

so the community can provide proper feed back if mod is in fact power tripping.

A - That was a mod, not an admin. We didn't do shit.

B - What the hell are you even trying to do, anymore? like genuinely, i have no idea what you're trying to aim for.

edit: Also fuck copyright.

Dbzer0 is explicitly anti-copyright. It's in the sidebar and when you sign up.

It was a mod that did it, not an admin.

It was a community, not the entire site.

Jesus Christ, reading is a thing.

TLDR: OP has no idea the difference between comms and instances, or what the fediverse actually is, and thinks dumbasses trolling AI art comms are doing nothing wrong.

~~DBZer0~~ Two communities in dBZer0 have begun banning people simply for ~~believing in~~ posting apologia for the concept of copyright.

Which, without further context, is still a bit of an overreach IMO, but nowhere near as extreme as your title suggests.

That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law.

Lol fuck the law. I wipe my ass with the law. Banning people for following the law is turbo-based when the law is turbo garbage. Again, I don't think that simply apologizing for copyright warrants a ban without further context, but "I was banned for following the law" is a terrible argument and I had to speak out about it.

Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

I was a music producer before going into engineering and I've always been against copyright lol. Copyright is a terrible minefield for doing work in my craft.

Without knowing the context of those bans, it's kinda hard to say whether your take of them being "simply for believing in the concept of copyright" is actually anywhere close to reality or not.

Based on past experience of people posting hyperbolic claims about "instance X banning people for Y", it's never actually about Y.

This doesn't look like it has anything to do with what you are claiming, being banned for 'believing in copyright'.

It looks like people going to comms specifically set up to share AI generated images, and banning people for bitching about how AI image gen involves disrespect of copyright.

I am no fan of AI gen imagery in about 99.9% of scenarios you'll actually encounter it or hear about it in.

... So I just blocked these communities that are all about that, because they do not interest me, and do not interact with them.

... You can also see that these are comm specific bans, not instance wide bans, as say .world did initially, and then rolled back when people were cheering the UHC CEO getting assasinated.

Looking into a few of these users that have been recently banned, from the modlogs on dbzero... it seems like these users have been getting various comments deleted, with mod explanations why, for days or weeks now, and whoever is modding these StableDiffusion comms just decided to ban them.

Here's the actual dbzero modlogs:

... Also as far as you being a worry wort about 'all of lemmy being banned'... pretty sure that's not possible, the whole point of a federated structure like lemmy is that different instances both host and police themselves.

Could a single instance get taken out? Sure. ... All of them? Seems unlikely without a massive coordinated effort, and afaik, db0 (the instance creator) is pretty tech savvy and has a reasonably secure hosting setup.

Disclaimer: I am neither a dbzero admin nor mod, just a member of the instance.

Check the Dbzer0 sidebar. The instance is literally explicitly anti-copyright.

Well its kinda true to their instance, being full on anarcho.

You can believe in whatever you want in other comms, that have different policy. Nothing will happen with fediverse if you won't or will support copyright.
