Fuck you spez. What was once suspected to be the cause of all those heavy-handed permabans is now revealed.
So Reddit is going to funnel money into soulless AI moderators that everyone will hate when they already had completely free human moderators? They’re a bunch financial geniuses over there.
Free moderators tried protesting (it didn’t achieve anything) so they try and make them even more replaceable.
I’ll have to create a new Reddit account just to leave again!
I can already imagine people using prompts in their comments to mess up the LLM moderator
So the moderation quality will fall off the cliff. GG well played
the moderation quality fell off a cliff ages ago
this is boring a hole to the center of the earth
Mod: Anyway guys… Fuck Reddit!
Mod banned…AIMod: Sorry, no ableism is allowed per rule 235. You said fuck. This is your 3rd time. You’re IP banned.
Hot take: Reddit will improve because the AI has to be better than the HOA-mentality losers that currently moderate Reddit.
They always always always avoided paid moderators, to their detriment. Now they are giving AI a go to be worse than automod.
they want MOds to play ball, most wont. so thier answer is having AI mods, overriding mods i assume. its essentially turning into FB 2.0.
What are mods refusing to do that they want to make them do at this point? The protest years ago ended within a couple of days and nothing happened.
I mean, a bunch of us are here. It might not have been earth-shattering, but it’d be quite self-defeating to say our little community is “nothing.”
The Fediverse received quite a boost from Reddit’s fuckery. We may not be “mainstream,” but I imagine a lot of us prefer it this way.
I bet
Fuck u/spez
Is hardcoded into some sort of ghost ban
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
AI moderating AI.
Like seriously, I still engage in some niche subs from time to time, but literally everything feels like bots talking to bots.
Once all the smart creative types left because of their authoritarian practices, it just feels like a hollow shell of its former self. Due to all the bots of course, I expect the others still there to slowly leave as the quality degrades further
Where did the creative types go though?
Dead Internet Theory, baby.
TBH, the reply of “Dead internet theory” is starting to feel like a bot pattern matching on “bot talking to bot”.
Like we get it.
I prefer the Bread Internet Theory
The bots will soon learn how to bake
the larger subs are mostly AI /most of it. AITA, AITAH, i think boys and girls dinner diaries are AI generated too similar to AITA.
I’m pretty convinced GDD was spawned from a content farm likely in India. Reddit pays for successful content now which just incentivized a bunch subs to orient towards rage bait content. GDD walks the line between open sexism and normal venting, mostly just to piss people off and bait engagement.
Whats gdd? God damn dinosaurs?
Girl dinner diaries
Ahh yeah. I’m pretty skeptical of all the ones that werent front pagers before the banpocalypse. That place seems so fake now.
AITA/AITAH/AIO, were the OG ones, im guessing people were calling it out as fake and AI, so it got switched up adding a little maybe alittle to sexist.
its a hybrid of twosexchrosomes, and " i ovvereact like i did in AITA towards a guy/girl"
maybe because they start with “AI”?
They also gate old.reddit behind logins now. More reasons to never return.
You’re behind the times, even logging in isn’t sufficient now. You have to reset to old reddit in preferences now every time you log in.
More reasons to never return.
shreddit costs money now, but Power Delete Suite will still let you delete your post history on the way out.
https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
At present it only works in a Chromium-based browser.
Probably it’s not really deleted but at least it stops your posts from adding value to the reddit’s public-facing side.
it still works on waterfox, and other forks. on mobile. i use sink it extensions, or yeoldreddit(and the old reddit switcher) the extension makes old reddit usable on mobile.
I use LibRedirect when I have to go there. https://redlib.catsarch.com/ is my preferred frontend.
Using AI to moderate a platform with 90% bots, sure.
As long as it increases their value they don’t care. Till it comes out it is all bots.
its going to be “Ai incest” AI on AI moderating each other, fighting.
It’s always sad seeing AI on AI crime.
Poster, moderator and consumer now
It’s already automated by trash AI.
Can’t be much worse than what they currently have. Automated trash = human trash.
It’s gonna be automated neoliberal LLM to ban and shadow ban anyone that doesn’t agree with the corporate status quo.
