We are defederating awful.systems from:

because it’s extremely anarchist to use the chatbot as your moderator (no no it’s totally human in the loop) and post corporate DARVO-filled excuses when caught.

see also [1] and [2]

This is a last straw after a string of dubious and exhausting behaviour.

If you’re an awful.systems user and you post to communities on those instances, you will need to create an account on one of them.

    Hmm, a good move, as the implications using LLMs in moderation work is a big no-no. As moderation requires both human interpretation and care in order to be successful. Feeding the latest torment nexus that the Silicon techno-fascists have concocted with user comments is only doing long term harm. While there is no money in generating slop for the masses, there is in surveillance, and feeding user comments to the beast is only going to help those twats. I’ll have to figure out my instance’s position on LLMs and see if I can get them to defed from these three offenders. If not, I’ll happily spin up an account on an instance that defederates from the growing list of ick: lemmy.ml, hexbear, and the db0 triplets…
