Yes it does.
If I wrote a virus code to destroy other people’s computers and put it onto the internet, then regardless if I’m still alive or not, the code is going to continue to do the evil it was made for.
Intention matters. Religion was made to control people. It will continue doing so until it is completely wiped off the face of the earth.
Is a computer virus not evil?
The original writer might be dead but it doesn’t mean that on its own the virus can’t do harm anymore.
Religion is a virus. The words are of hate and bigotry. As long as a single human is still infested with the “religion virus”, it will be able to spread hate and oppression.
Yeah I block communities I have no interest in participating with.
People also need to remember it’s just a number. Magical internet points as they say.
LGBTQ+ should be protected because they are actively being targeted for death threats and persecution. I wouldn’t equate that to some Ai posts getting a few downvotes because the general consensus of Ai is it outputs Slop.
Using bots to downvote is absolutely pathetic but you can’t be online expecting literally every person to agree with you or let alone read every community’s rules before scrolling and voting.
