Why I Reported Online Hate Speech: A Lesson in Boundaries

I recently shared a factual screenshot of AI-generated information on Mastodon. Someone attacked me personally for using AI, creating a thread of insults.

I did not engage. I reported the user and blocked them.

My Fedi profile is a Giving Container. I have zero tolerance for hate speech or personal attacks. Protecting my peace and maintaining a professional environment is more important than winning an argument.

Hurt people hurt people, but that does not mean I have to accept their hurt in my space.

Technology changes fast, but community standards change slowly. We must uphold them.

Have you experienced a negative reaction for using AI tools? How did you handle it?

I agree with your point, and it is righteous in many ways.

What I do not understand is why you make it as "dependent" on the AI topic: it could be said the same for any other (more or less) controversial technology or technology provider.

I agree that AI is more popular than others and that it is easier to find people who are marginalised for using it, but the same could be said for Crypto, NFT and any other fascism-as-a-service offering users. They also deserve to be given voice and not being marginalised.
