Reddit's auto-moderation

Reddit seems to have introduced sitewide AI moderation bots that are sweeping up users and outright banning them, without warning or explanation, for crimes like including links in their posts. This has started to hit some pretty well-known artists in r/comics.

It's inconsistent and unpredictable - which makes it worse, since you don't know what the rules are. As companies like Reddit give up more and more control to unaccountable machines, this kind of thing is getting more common.

Reddit has always had kind of a strange relationship with contributors and what is often called "self-promotion". On one hand, it wants Content... But it can't seem to decide where it wants the content to come from.

It's nice that we've got alternative spaces like this.

Anyway, have some links:

Never seen Snoo from behind. That’s a lot of Snoo cake.

I love the little deliberate muscle line on the hip to accentuate the roundness of the cheeks

I started getting the same on Facebook.

They call me a spammer because I post links to the website of my project ... that I post on my Facebook page for my project.

It's absurd, but I guess they just are hostile to any links going out of their own domains?

I call these the "2010's platforms":

Walled gardens where the walls are mainly the addiction and dependence they cause.

Though most are from before 2010, by the beginning of the decade, these started shifting to the bad design we have today.

And borrowing from an analysis I saw, iirc of power through economic mismamanegement, these platforms need to keep inflating their presence to keep being relevant. But the more they inflate, the more they need to keep inflating, else their castle of cards come crumbling.

But as cracks start to appear, which I'd interpret as them becoming so big their problems are too hard to ignore even for "normies", or even the problems growing to that same result, people start jumping ship, and the platforms start panicking. But with these platforms having no concept of true relevance, then we get to the alienation as damage control.

I feel for the comic creator.

Ive had posts removed with no response so many times. Its a problem with established communities that dont post all their rules (hidden/unwritten rules), shadow bans because of content, and a host of bad behavior from the mods. Forever mods that wont give up power.

The AI part might be new, but major subreddits were forcing people to freeboot content for years. I tried calling it out, but apparently I was the one in the wrong lmao

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.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
