    A large chunk of the Lemmy/piefed userbase is ex-redditors though, I’d venture likely a majority, so it is a bit of a weird thing to say as an insult.

      I would guess it’s the exhibition of what some people would consider reddit-like behaviour that is the actual intended insult.

      Or rather the behaviour exhibited by reddit denizens that gives it it’s bad reputation, for some.

      I could be wrong however.

      And it’s not like Reddit is exactly a hotbed of pro-AI sentiment either, for that matter. Though it does tend to be less extreme in my experience, I suspect because it’s just got a larger population so social bubbles are harder to enforce.

        I’d, personally, take the reddit and AI parts individually.

        Sloperator and reddit chud, rather than attributing the AI evangelism to reddit specifically.

        But again, im guessing, I could be entirely wrong.

          XLE appears to be completely focused on my opinion regarding AI, he has never commented on anything else I’ve done or said here on the Fediverse. So I think it’s safe to view all of his attempts at insulting me in that context.

            You would know better than I, I suppose.

            Have you considered that it might just be the only overlapping space between you two?

            Perhaps if there were more surface area overlap you’d be able to disagree over a wider range of subjects.

            Meh, not my business either way.
