What karma? Spez started it by being a liar 🤷‍♂️ so I say it is natural that people stop supporting him.

Hot take: 18 years of user contributions to reddit will serve as a base model for an AI that generates content and conversations. the reddit experience continues as a simulation, to harvest clicks, sa in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Considering most of reddit's comments are either one-liners and jokes, it's not that hard to get upvotes as a bot... but how'd you spot one? I'm afraid that I didn't learn the ability to distinguish between bot and human.

17/20. I got 90% in detecting fake news, but 80% in identifying real news...

LOL what?? That's insane

We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn. in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

[–] XiELEd@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So imagine NSFW (or 18+) as a circle and sexual content as a smaller circle within it. Some people look for NSFW (say, combat footage), but not porn. If a post was designated within "sexual content", it would also put it within the realm of NSFW, so it won't show up to someone who doesn't want to see NSFW, but if someone is fine with NSFW but not sexual content, they won't see porn, but will be able to see NSFW.

That may be the case, so I think it's a temporary answer to this mystery. Though recently some of my comments ranging from 7 and 10 months ago (update: as of 6/19/23 my 18 days old comments are now reappearing) have been reappearing again, so it's become a kind of a whack-a-mole situation right now.

Last night, I used Redact to delete all my comments, then altered the settings to make an exception for one and only one subreddit. To check if I even had comments left in that subreddit, I kept an eye on my comments through Infinity. At first the comments were being deleted one by one, then suddenly it showed a "No comments found" screen half-way through the deletion. So I looked through a post in that subreddit where I entered a discussion, and it turns out that my comments there were still up, despite my comments tab showing nothing. I then checked RiF and it didn't show my comments through my profile. Today (after having deleted everything), I checked through my comments in my post in another subreddit, and it turns out they were still up, despite the fact that I didn't make exceptions for it. Still found no comments through my profile.

Reddit threatens replacing moderators from privated subreddits, citing vandalism and squatting. in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

For me, it's not the app but u/spez. He lies, manipulates and tried to discreetly insult the community. It doesn't feel right for me to remain there.

Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. in c/showerthoughts@kbin.social

[–] XiELEd@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I left because having that sort of person at the helm is just disconcerting.

Now that federation works, we need more clarity of source in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

It's not like that, though. Please don't just assume what our intentions are. We just get confused sometimes, especially on mobile, when there are maintenance and update posts for other sites that make it seem like it's going to be implemented here. The only way I distinguish between here and there is whether it's posted by Ernest or somebody else. If we could distinguish between posts by this site and others, we'd be up to date on other sites' development without getting misled.
