I firmly believe hamid is just using alts these days, so… Give it time?

👍

Sure thing dude.

Dude, youre bringing some “exactly that kind of person” energy throughout this thread…

Not bad, it picked Debian based on my responses and its definitely my preference. The list below all works too, with the minuses as noted.

Seems like a decent tool!

Yeah there is no way I’d think “asterisk” with that logo, especially with an organization that is anti-everything in human sexuality. Aside from the one thing I’d agree with but they don’t seem to actually be interested in stopping.

They might ban you preemptively, actually.

I’m just saying you have a readily available tool at your fingertips, which you could use rather than just complain about the existence of a community you apparently haven’t even seen.

You could just block them you know.

I have no interest in communities dedicated to female celebrities. When they started cropping up, I blocked them (well until I found out it was mostly one user creating the communities and then posting to them, so I just blocked them, but… Same result).

Its pretty easy, about two clicks typically.

I’m fairly certain I don’t need to spend hours investigating individual actions to be a part of the fediverselore community.

So yeah, we can stop right there.

Not the mod, but if you’ve ever down voted with no other interaction, my guess would be that. Or timing of a downvote coinciding with a bunch of others from other accounts, again as a singular downvote.

There is a tool which will coord down votes across multiple accounts, which is helping some trolls - notably the anti-AI trolls mentioned - coordinate mass down votes to try to avoid detection.

I would hope so, but as we know many people dont read past a headline/title.

I’m just sharing how it reads when you put it in quotes. Like if I said:

Boy those people are “smart”

Wouldn’t exactly come across like a compliment. So having it in quotes in the title reads, to me, like you’re being dismissive rather than trying to differentiate users who got caught up, likely due to timing of their downvote, or down votes being their only interactions with a community.

Which, I will point out, takes some effort when its a small community, even on Lemmy.

Except there are plenty who are doing the trolling, and the quotes are dismissive of it entirely. Despite you noting that there are in your other comment.

When did MigratingApe do any anti-AI trolling?

I have no idea, nor do I care to investigate how a mod handles things on a small community.

Here are a few things we do know:

• There are trolls harassing AI comms
• Most of them come through and downvote heavily, or…
• using a readily available tool to coordinate across multiple accounts, mass downvote. Appearing as a single downvote per account.
• Some people mod multiple small communities, and will ban across all of them. Best idea? Eh, maybe not, but its their comm. People can always make another, thats kind of a major point of Lemmy isn’t it?

The fact that there are people, such as yourself, getting so riled up over being banned from a community they claim to not have any interest in is also odd. Why would being banned from a community you dont care about even matter?

But let’s not pretend there aren’t trolls when there clearly are. This also isn’t the first time this sort of thing has happened.

Some people are just shitty. Banning and blocking are handy tools for that.

people are already talking in these comments about a reason to block all of dbzer0 as a result, which I think was exactly the kind of intended response for this to generate.

Probably their goal, yes.

except that it was made by one of the trolls

Yep, I’m aware of the posts, I just wanted to point out two things - that they were deleted so no longer a good reference, and the quotes around anti-AI trolls - which as you say, there absolutely are, and were in that original thread you linked - comes across as dismissing the idea that they exist.

The latest anti-AI alt made purely to harass Mystic seems to be banned and their content removed, so the links are broken, FYI.

Edit: Also your quotes around anti-AI trolls - which they literally are - is definitely putting a spin on the reality here. Makes me think your ban was entirely appropriate.

What I think is missing here from the argument is the community garden.

We grow (well, my wife does the bulk of the effort if I’m being honest, the jungle of vines out there I fully credit to her) a good amount of food. Herbs, beans, cucumbers, squashes, lettuce, tomato, carrot… Every trip we grab more than we can use, or it will just go to waste.

We share with others who garden and some who don’t, but around us do. They also give us kale, varieties of berries, and others that we don’t grow.

You don’t need a lot of plants to end up producing more than you can realistically use, even getting creative with their use (we’ve started making a lot of syrups). Sharing with your local community can make this all even more efficient, making better use of what’s been planted.

Which is a long AF, adhd-laden way of saying “Community gardens / sharing is even better with efficiency imo”

I’m going to need to check from my desktop, I got a thumbnail version on mobile (and I’m lazy and just save to my nas from mobile)

Edit: Looking at it on the desktop, its a few.pixels taller and about 200 wider, but no change to the contents. I’m assuming the preview in the post was a stretch for lens correction or something, the one I found was an iPhone photo

This was the best I could find:

1486x1115

If anyone has a better version I’d love to get it!

Edit: This one crops nicely (just above supermans head and to the bottom of his left fist) and looks good enough on my 3440x1440 monitor, FWIW. I’ll see how it looks on a 16:9 later, but I think the crop there will go to the outside arms, so also good!

Nothing that matters to the Naruto storyline, no. Filler episodes don’t impact the overall story, just some character focus bits about who they are.

You can always just read the summary for those episodes too.

What I would say among the fillers worth watching are:

• Naruto 101 is fantastic and could be considered canon with what happens later on in the story.
• Shippuden 349-361 is the kakashi back story. Its right in the middle of great story, but IMO worth watching. You could even watch this between Naruto and Shippuden.
• Shippuden 484-500 is adapted from official novels, so some call it filler, others call it canon. I’d recommend it.

Thats about it though. The rest are more of an “if you feel like it”.

Just delete the fully filler episodes and enjoy

Nonstop

That account is only a few hours old though, so seems a bit fishy.
