No, that's why accounts are getting banned for the stupidest reasons.

You must be unfamiliar with power tripping mods.

If you make it on a powermod's shit list, they'll ban you from every default sub they can because they are petty low lifes. I'd trust AI-powered bots to be more reasonable than those cumstains.

What difference does it make when you have a power tripping CEO PLUS an asinine AI that isn't held reponsible for decisions?

It'll be even worse. And trust me, with the way things are being handled, the responsible mods are precisely the ones that are going to be theown under the bus, precisely because they disagree with the power tripping CEO.

The solution is to replace the CEO with someone reaponsible AND to have an effective and responsible moderation board.

What reddit is doing is not finding a solution; they're just seeking ways to get rid of expensive personnel and maximize their profits.

Other question is what is training the AI, are they using the power tripping mods?

AI doesn't get emotional. The current mods do. rex-ac was having a bad day on 2westerneurope4u and it caused me to get perma-banned from Reddit.

I don't trust AI more, but the mods on reddit are ridiculous because there's no accountability.

And on Lemmy there is?

[–] FlavoredButtHair@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well I guess we can give it a chance and see where things go.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

so no change

Nah that's a power tripping mod problem, I got perma banned site wide for taking issue with a sub ban ...for saying I didn't like Worf in Star Trek
