I got banned for one of those “How to kill orphan after parent is dead” jokes in a programming sub.
Which… the whole joke is that without context it looks awful. But also. Did the bot think I was sincerely asking…? I killed the parents but I needed Reddit’s help on the next steps.
LLMs do a lot of the moderation now. So people get instabanned for anything that can be taken out of context as violent. Which is dumb because that’s a boat load of expression. It’s basically a nanny like tik-tok.
