It’s not discussion moderation though, it’s LLM input QC. It’s fundamentally dishonest.
I’m convinced the primary moderation goal is expunging any comment that could remotely contribute to LLM ‘racial bias’ - and given the mods are humans, they want to expend the least effort possible in the performance of their roles, so practically any statement along the lines of ‘$nouns are $adjective’ gets hammered without a thought.
NSFW is a term of indoctrination. It suggests my life revolves around what is acceptable in a workplace, and that all aspects of life should be held to workplace standards. You have only to give it a moment’s thought and it becomes nonsense; I don’t fap to NSFW “”“content”“” I fap to adult material. I fap to pornography.
I haven’t logged in for nearly three years. Has TI been overhauled again?
Characters like him are targeted because they are both successful and anti establishment
Not silly at all. It’s a ship of Theseus situation, and the ship has helmsmen with bad attitudes. Bad attitudes engender bad decisionmaking.

The nazi bar story is retarded. To buy into it is to forfeit all your advantages against the obnoxious minority, such as being vastly greater in number, and being able to exercise critical thinking abilities. The nazi doesn’t drive anyone away, people make the choice to do so themselves, when in fact they should challenge and confront at every opportunity. All the idea does is empower bad actors and agents provocateur and deny the agency of individuals. To borrow from Nicholas Taleb: it’s a very fragile concept.
Found the meme the parent comment reminds me of lol
That’s pathetic.
So, take the ban like an adult. Accept that you fucked up enough for the community, and use that in the future to really think about the subject and decide who you want to be.
I see this patronizing, judgmental language everywhere on the internet, and I’m pretty tired of it. OP is right to be annoyed.
Here’s an intelligent question: Why is R*ddit a place where every little infraction, real and perceived, attracts the account death penalty?
Context is king. If there’s vital/time-dependent correspondence you’re waiting on, notifications can matter. But email in 2024 is pretty darn transactional, in which case a daily check is enough for most. Notifications for something suggest that I need to drop what I’m doing and attend to whatever arrived. That just doesn’t apply for service provider marketing, purchase receipts, etc.
And then the opsec angle comes into play: https://www.axios.com/2023/12/06/apple-google-requests-push-notification-data
then a few years later suddenly everyone’s anecdotes are praising China, or capitalism, or offhandedly mentioning some product or influencer.
There used to be a satire sub called Church of the Current Thing that made fun of this phenomenon. It eventually got banned around 2022 thanks to a cohort of bad faith actors mass-filing dubious reports of subs they didn’t like.
(I believe there was also a sub devoted to cataloging all such subs that got paved over in the name of le brand safetyTM, but it may have also gone the same way. I don’t keep up with the place)
It’s worth noting that investment in community isn’t the problem per se. People’s digital lives (indeed their digital personhood) are arguably more important than their corporeal ones now; the ability to sustainably organize online around everything from hobbies to political goals matters. The problem is we collectively keep picking the corporate-run shitware to build on, like Reddit - platforms over which we’re excluded from any sort of influence, where the only real currency is perverse incentive.
A good example of this scam that sticks out to me is plastics recycling. The marketed goal is a circular, sustainableTM plastic economy. The real goals are uninterrupted plastics manufacturing and the maintenance of tax receipts from plastic goods consumption. Industry and government simply do not want less plastic in the world.
