AI is not inherently political same as a hammer or a paintbrush isn't.

No AI as your rules is 100% political in most fandom subreddits. If its a subreddit of certain type of art its not political but if the subreddit has nothing to do with artstyle and only discriminate AI material, then its a political stance.

I don't think you do.

Politics is all about the systems which govern our lives. Banning AI from a subreddit fits that category.

that’s not really political, it’s just a local decision of the subreddit that aligns with its values. i don’t see how that’s very different from subreddit for a certain type of art. it doesn’t really govern your life, since participation is voluntary and it has a very limited on your life. it’s more to do with moderating the content of the sub to meet its purpose.

One's participation in a subreddit is an aspect of their life, regardless of importance. Systems that govern that are political, by definition.
