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.
I bet
Fuck u/spez
Is hardcoded into some sort of ghost ban
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
They also gate old.reddit behind logins now. More reasons to never return.
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.
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
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.
maybe because they start with “AI”?
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.
its a hybrid of twosexchrosomes, and " i ovvereact like i did in AITA towards a guy/girl"
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.
Using AI to moderate a platform with 90% bots, sure.
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.
this has been happening for some time already. bans after saying a wrong word happen immediately within a few seconds
not evenposting, even “looking” at your browser wrong is enough. if the AI assumes your account is botting or something it will ban it.
I got hit by a word filter too. Each individual word was SFW but the combination could be interpreted as hateful (even though it wasn’t in context). So they have some sort of intent-matching system that is poorly implemented, probably piping it through the cheapest haiku model they can access.
Days without hearing a single thing that has made me want to visit Reddit: however old this account is
They’re only now doing this? Feels to me like this must have happened 2 years ago?
since last year at the least, when they were us AI to moderate the bans. im guessing they are trying to fully control subs with only AI mods, rather than Human/AI bot hybrid system.
This is probably just them openly admitting it.
Can’t actually be worse than the human powertripping mods lol.
Now instead of a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation, it will be a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation AND destroy a bit more of the ecosystem.
A friend of mine left Reddit recently over this kind of thing after being an avid member for years but…
He joined X? He’s got terrible taste.
That’s what I’m struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can’t think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.
The funniest part to me is he’ll share a meme or comic and 90% of the time I actually saw it on Lemmy first, lol. Only exceptions are super niche. Basically if it’s viral there, it’s viral here.
Something that became very obvious to me when Shorts became so popular - the mega platforms have an endless supply of low quality content they can keep feeding you so long as you keep coming back. The actual good stuff should only last the typical person 30-60 minutes per day, if you spend longer than that, you’re mostly looking at lazy slop.
So yeah the good stuff that does well on Reddit/X, also does well here. But there’s less content so it’s easier to feel like I “ran out”, but in a good way. I ran out of low quality time wasting slop.
OH NO, the fat human mods are going to be unemployed /s
