I could use a primer on Lemmy, since frankly I don鈥檛 know the culture all that much. If you have a pointer to something in mind, I鈥檇 appreciate it.
FWIW, I鈥檝e gotten banned from two forums already (ha) so you aren鈥檛 kidding. 馃槣
Overall, I鈥檇 say that most of the downvotes are people disagreeing with the article鈥檚 core criticism of Mozilla鈥檚 AI language translation using scraped content; then people see the excessive crossposts and assume you鈥檙e a spammer and mass-downvote them.
Given that !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the second largest Lemmy community, it鈥檚 clear from the start that piracy-bashing articles are going to have mixed reception at the best of times. In addition, the article places an undue emphasis on Mozilla鈥檚 practices rather than the industry as a whole.
Ultimately, the article should have been half as long and give readers a clear solution at the end, such as instead using a Firefox fork to make opt-out the default. While not likely to be as effective as an AI trained with non-permissive license content, such an explanation at the end could also have recommend an open source translation AI extension trained solely with permissive license content.
In the future, perhaps try posting your article once in the most popular relevant community, and if people respond well, then crosspost it a maximum of two or three times (3-4 posts total). More than that and people will think you鈥檙e spamming.
Lemmy does need to get better about being welcoming to newcomers, so apologies for the rough start; if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. 馃憤
