“However, a still sufficiently discernable pattern of ludditery and synthetic prejudice remains to trigger the Cyprus Doctrine, under which punishment is mandatory" droned on the artificial magistrate.

    I’m only saddened that “luditry” does not show up as a word in my normal dictionary references, ostensibly meaning the same as “lewdness”.

      I added the missing d (and e, I think?), although I now realize it should be luddism, but it doesn’t sound as hard.

        Oh, that does quite change how I had originally read the line.

        Does “synthetic prejudice” allude to something else as well?

          Synthetic as in robots. I’m trying to paint a picture where a fascist regime lead by robots is going through our old internet history and punishing us for being anti-ai.

          But this would be in the future, so the archived Lemmy comments are the current ones we are creating at the moment.

          I guess it’s a bit obscure and hard to figure out.
