Their AI is absolutely dogshit, especially at detecting jokes or shitposts. I caught a 3 day ban on my last account, “advocating violence” for joking about mosquitoes getting cancer on a shitpost sub.
I got a permaban for commenting on a news article about global warming effects in Texas,
“Dangit Dale, we live in Texas, and if it gets one degree hotter, I am kicking your ass!”
Quoting probably the most calming/relaxing show. Believe it or not, straight to jail
Which show is this so I can watch
King of the hill
The show about that American dad and his family.
i suspect thier AI will just ban anyone indiscriminately, to cull the numbers on the site. thier detections are so sensitive, that new users, and old inactive accounts are usually flagged as spams and bots, the moment they comment on a sub.
I got perma banned for talking about my cat killing rabbits. Inciting violence, apparently.
You sick bastard!
Ewww. I hope my summary includes “Used to visit daily, but hasn’t been back in two years ever since you fucked up third party apps.”
Yeah, mine would be the same, with an added bit describing how by the time I left I had gotten trapped in an inescapable cycle of toxic posting and was actually very grateful for the mod wars giving me the lever I needed to get out and stay out. On that note I just wanted to also say how genuinely thankful I am to the multi named beast that is Fedia.io/Mbin/Kbin/Lemmy/PieFed for giving me a much nicer place to exchange thought noodles with others 😁
Would be interesting to see if it still gives a content summary for accounts with deleted histories.
I was planning the same when Apollo was shut down due to Reddit’s API fees. In the end I stayed, now using Narwhal.
It’s never too late to quit
Stop using Reddit.
Stop talking about Reddit.
Just let them fucking die and fade into obscurity like Digg.
Stop talking about Reddit.
Do you know what community you’re in?
Sure we’re in
/c/
It’s [email protected]. The sidebar describes it thusly:
News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
This community is for discussing Reddit. If someone doesn’t want to see discussion of Reddit then this is not a good place to be participating.
Yeah, that’s what I said.
It’s@lemmy.world
I don’t know what you’re doing to format that, but this is what I see:
You understand they’re “not talking about reddit”, like the first comment says right?
Which itself completely misses the point. This is the place where we do talk about Reddit. That’s specifically what it’s for.
Seems fine to me:
Ah, you don’t want to discuss Reddit either. Why are you in this community, then?
I do.
It’s fucking stupid.
Do you realize you can unsubscribe and even block it from appearing in your feed?
I do.
It’s still
fucking
stupid.
My boomer parents know what reddit is.
It’s not going to become obscure if people in their 70s know what it is now. Did they know a few years ago? No. But reddit keeps growing.
Their user traffic is up by over 10%, they’re not going anywhere.
The not too distant future:
“Facial recognition confirms this person posts opinions that are partially out of line with source code directives. Approve drone strike?”
this is how Israel chooses bombing targets in Gaza right now by spying on their Whatsapp metadata
with the help of Palintir.
‘We Kill People Based on Metadata’ - Michael Hayden (ex NSA Director)
arnt they already requiring ID from Uk users, its only matter of time they do what FB does, require FACIAL recognition + ID.
Other AI: approved.
It’s super sad how that site continues to degrade in quality.
Moderation has always been heavy-handed over there, now it’ll be lazy and even more discriminatory. I didn’t think that was possible, but here we are.
now they can just pre-emptively ban you, the moment you make any kind of comment, if they saw your history is “contrversial” even if your comment was helpful to the discussion.
“User often posts strings of random words followed by a link to a service they used to turn their post history into gibberish”
This surely won’t backfire considering llm’s are so great at detecting sarcasm and context-sensitivity.
I’m sorry, you’re right! I will add that to my understanding and remember it for next time. Thank you for pointing out my error.
Unreliable user profiling is just what mods need… yep.
Why don’t they sick it on finding bots instead? Oh, right, because that would cost them user numbers and make them look bad…
What about auto flagging posts that break sub rules for real mods to check? Ah, well, they can’t monetize those outputs can they?
nah the bots on reddit sustains the site, propaganda bots, they need russia, palintir to drive up engagement, from hate-posters.
I think reddit wants the site to devolve even further into groupthink and echo chambers.
it drives traffic and growth
they banned FB and facebook word, so thats what they are becoming.
Gross
Well, i’m glad i got banned before they implement the social credit score. Fuck reddit.
Could one spam their user page with “wholesome content” to influence this summary?
You could probably even put in custom instructions
I don’t see why not? One could possible create a new sub and run a bot/script/pyautogui that uses another LLM to post “wholesome” garbage generated by it. No one to complain about your post since it is your sub.
Unless they have implemeted some way to weight posts in different subs (private sub worth less etc).
The only version of this that would be helpful is identifying accounts that have been sold/hijacked by recognizing radical changes in post/comment behavior.
That’s certainly not the reason but I wanted to point out that on a non-shitty site there might be a use for those summaries.
Is this the one with the fascist CEO?
Do you know how little that narrows it down?
Enshittification.
