Are we all "Anti-AI Trolls"? Enforcement of instance rules and community standards.

I hope I'm not exposing myself to some kind of retailation, but here it goes.

It has been brought to my attention in a totally unrelated discussion that moderator(s) of !stable_diffusion_witches@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !stable_diffusion_mycology@lemmy.dbzer0.com hosted here on db0 seemingly randomly ban users (including me) which had never ever even interacted with the community as being "Anti-AI Trolls", "Neoliberals" or other names. Some other users are banned for "Vote Manipulation" (what does that even mean?! you still addicted to reddit's karma or what?).

While I totally don't mind these communities, content served by them and their rules as stated in the sidebar, I somehow found myself caring for what lemmy.dbzer0.com represents in the fediverse. I am of strong stance that such behaviour like described above (proactively banning random users) stands in a potential violation of The Golden Rules which are the foundation of this instance. This starts to be noticeable and brings negative perception of our instance.

I claim that such behaviour is in contradiction of rules calling for cooperative participation in the community by creating "closed garden" of only the most trusted users by the moderation where noone else can participate. The rules under which someone is banned are not clear, bans are not directly connected to any particular user comment and/or action.

I call for the community to voice their oppinion about this matter and if the community agrees with my objection to such behaviour as described above, I call for a proper action to be taken to enforce the community standards.

Thank you.
