~~They will also delete any comments that complain about AI at all, even though there is no rule against it.~~

/--edit--/
After second look, that's not entirely true, but they definitely have a trigger finger for it and leave plenty of other "off-topic" comments.

Considering the amount of posts deleted, it should have just been locked instead of nuking comments with a negative view of AI

Here's the thread in the screenshot:

Also, here you can see other's seem to think this was an attempt to silence dissent (though, I don't think that this coming from drag is a great point for it):

Just look at this completely insane comment from an instance admin:

Thank you for the validation. I’ve been really depressed lately with all the problems I’ve had with my government and my workplace dumping me and just everything else, and the hostility I had been getting from some sides of Lemmy was really exacerbating things. I also want to reiterate my point that some Lemmings don’t get which is that propaganda is still propaganda even if the views and message are both morally correct; it was the use of AI as an imitation of an honest human messenger that I considered “disinfo” or at the very least disingenuous. A lot of other Lemmings also thought my gripe was singularly with how AI art steals (“pirates” as one critic put it) from human artists to make its images, which is not the particular condemnation I was making in that case. Again, I really appreciate the support.
