So I made a joke a Reddit and got again a ban for excouraging violence. Their automoderation is just a broken piece of shit. I never encourage violence, nor would anyone with half a brain interpret it that way. I’m so fucking tired of walking on egg shells on the internet these days. And it’s not just Reddit. Pretty much any social media feels like it’s cosplaying as 1984 Big Brother. I 'm tired of all the selfsensoring like pdf or s*x. Can we get back to being treated as adults please.
You must log in or register to comment.
Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I said that Elron Musk really hates poor people, and got a 3 day ban. The note even said it was “automated”. I didn’t bother appealing because my experience with twitter and Facebook is they never reverse it, even when they claim a person reviewed it (pretty sure that’s always a lie). Also, fuck them.
Got another 7 day ban, again for bullshit. Seems like using specific words just triggers the AI. I appealed this time. I guess it’s going to turn in a permenant ban again.
I find the automated AI band thing very offensive. Given how often an AI crap is just playing wrong, it’s inappropriate to use it for something like that. Being told that your comment is violent and basically you’re a bad person and you’re not allowed on this site for three days is pretty jarring, and it’s annoying and insulting. Reddit used to be about the only social media site that didn’t use automated crap like that. They only started when they wanted to try to clean up the site for the stupid IPO. So that’s all why I decided to just not bother appealing or going back and simply delete my account.
It’s impact is even worse. I’ve noticed how much I self sensor these days.
Quite true. They don’t want people to be able to publicly express how they really feel, because so many people share the same feelings and it would build.
Recent transplant myself. The AI are posting Honeypot threads with hot button issues. When folks invariably crashout OOPS YOU’RE BANNED NOW!
People are self-censoring so many words, the internet is soon gonna start looking like a Smurfs script.
“A Smurf was charged today with Smurf after Smurfing a Smurf in Smurf. The non-perpetrator with the ability to produce milk was then said to have Smurfed themselves due to the Smurf of the Smurf”.
There’s your problem, expecting anyone on Reddit to have half a brain.
It never occurred to me that pdf would come to mean what it does. This is concerning.
I mixed missed the memo I guess, no idea what it means if it isn’t the file type
PDF -> pee dee file -> pedofile
Much appreciated
Thanks from me as well. I was thinking it meant ‘public display of fucking.’
Stockholm syndrome?
There are no adults here friend. We are all children and we are ruled by children.
