I'm blocked by Reddit "filters" from posting on the Spokane subreddit, but if any of you are on there I encourage you to repost this. I had not heard of this story before seeing the article today.
Oh my God is read it that bad now? It's completely unusable if that's the case
Yeah it is. I think the company must be trying to filter all user-supplied content in such a way as to make it maximally resellable to other AI companies. Even as a read-only platform, I sometimes wonder how many good posts I'm missing because they've secretly been banned/filtered.
Yeah, they also recently gave their censorship bot the ability to ban people. So if you type two bad words in one sentence, you're banned and need to explain yourself if you want the account back.
what a total shitstorm. the more I hear the less I wanna go back. we need to get all the old niche communities back up and running here
Its not as bad as, say, TikTok on most subs. Like comments that can get deleted on there just need to contain words like ewww. Or silly goose.
But it is moving in that direction. Like you can report someone for being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Nothing will happen most of the time.
But call them a dumb fuck and suddenly youre harassing them.
classic corpofash moderation.
