Just saw this. They're trying to suffocate it before pulling the plug.

Another interesting choice is how they are replacing Automod with Automations, but Automations is currently only able to flag content for review by mods.

Are they using mods as free labor to train AI... to replace human moderators? 😂 Because that's really what it seems like.

Reddit is going all in on taking it all for themselves.

It probably still works for you, like it does for my partner but not for me. This change appears to be a gradual rollout.

Reddit is fully leaning into their AI for all moderation decisions. It started with violence, and now they're expanding into racism. The problem with this AI model is it's tuned really, really badly.

For example: you cannot post instructions for how to save someone from a dog attack (because it involves using a belt to choke the dog). The AI considers this violence, even though you are trying to save their life.

For racism, you cannot quote anyone. If a store manager tells you "don't sell to black people," and you go to Reddit to complain, quoting what your manager told you will get you suspended.

You used to be able to dispute these false warnings and Reddit was still usable, but now they're being either ignored or denied for unexplained reasons.

Reddit just does not give a shit anymore. If 15% of their users are struggling to use the site, they think it's acceptable.
