News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Reddit mods are one of the few “jobs” that I’m perfectly fine with AI replacing. There’s absolutely no way AI could do a worse job than what’s already being done.
You say jobs… the mods aren’t paid.
That’s why it’s in quotations
AI: you've been banned for violating rule 1
User: but i did not violating rule 1, i violating rule 34
AI: my mistake. You've been banned for violating rule 34
User: but there's no rule 34
AI: my mistake. You've been unbanned.
This really happened, just search for “Reddit rule 34” on a search engine.
Almost had me there
Too bad actual encounters with moderation bots aren't nearly as funny (looking at you, YouTube)
I see that naive techno-optimism is alive and well in this day and age.
Reddit mods are some of the absolute worst people at their role of literally any role in existence. I’ll die on that hill and take all of your downvotes. They destroyed Reddit way before Spez made it official.
Did you step up to mod any communities?
Did you create any new communities for the things you were interested in?
Also, what data are you going to train the AI on? Becasue if they use the old mods as training data...
And finally, most of the subs I visited had mods that I never had problems with. So maybe it is the subs you were visiting, or maybe, just maybe, you were the problem.
This doesn't replace mods. It's just another way for reddit admins to find ways to auto perma-ban users.
My account, Melkath, got banned at least twice for horseshit reasons.
Mostly me being outspokenly against naziism.
It's still live tho. Because I mostly use kbin now.
Yup. Don't expect a response.
Only reason I got a response/unban was because the mass exodus was happening.
Nothing for 3 months, then traffic dropped and a day later I was reinstated.
The AI can be trained however they want, and has no conscience. Mods might actually reach a whistleblowing tipping point.
Down voted by Reddit mods I see
Nah, just the few naive folks who think a handful of good mods makes up for the horde of insanely toxic ones. The percentage of crap Reddit mods is so high the role shouldn’t even exist. Perfect use of AI.
The AI isn't replacing mods. It's working alongside admins.
