I will posit that 'anti-AI crazies' is a succinct (and slightly exaggerated) summary of (and this is a direct quote) "I'm sure you're aware that Mastodon has a high representation of folks who don't like AI, so presenting evidence that Mastodon users don't like AI is kinda… well… not really useful."

Just... not so wordy.

So, if that is indeed what you are referring to, again, please take a few virtual steps back, take a deep breath, and consider that maybe, just maybe, you overreacted.

@jaffathecake @barubary If the "untrue accusation" you're referring to is the (within quote-marks, but not a quite, instead a restating and possible hyperbole of your position) "anti-AI crazies", then you most definitely need to take a (virtual step back) and consider that it most probably was not ever intended to be a quote, @duke_of_germany can probably confirm, but having spent a fair while reading text written by human beings, I read the quote marks as indicating not a quote, but a somewhat hyperbolic summary.

Without the quotes, I probably would have interpreted it as an actual quote.
