I think they had AI doing the banning reddit-wide, this is just for subreddit specific moderation? I think? I dunno, I dont care enough to find out lol.
I’ve been suspended from reddit like 8 times, every single one of them was a AI decision and every single one of them was a extremely obvious joke, for example, one of the jokes was about me running with scissors, the bot decided that was threatening someone with violence… So I guess reddit users will just see more of that from now on. Not sure if it matters much though, 90% of the comments are the same stupid jokes from 10 years ago anyway, they’ll just get a bit more bland and boring.
Pretty much. The implied plan is that they want to replace the keyword/rule-based automatic moderation system moderators have access to with LLM-based automation.
So if you had a subreddit that banned all use of the letter e, you could whack a rule up to remove according to criteria .*[eE].* which would have it remove all instances of the letter e.
The new system supposedly replaces it with a prompt-based system, where all messages run through an LLM, and you write out a prompt informing it what it should remove (“remove all messages containing the letter e”).
OK but seriously, weren’t they already using AI for modding for quite a while?

I got a lot of joy from r/fifthglyph, in a long past hour. It was so much fun to find ways to say things, without that ubiquitous symbol.
Yeah, this sort of shit’s been going on for years.
100%, that’s why people are always banned completely randomly. This is just press to convince people to buy more stonks.
You have to pay dollerydoos for AI, moderators moderate for free
