This is oddly a case to signify there is value in an AI moderation tools - to avoid bias inherent to human actors.

Reddit has a serious abusive moderator issue. I suspect they will all be demoted to "VIP community member" soon enough and have that entire layer handled by AI. There's just too much ego involved for a human to do a job like that.
Friendly reminder that you are on a forum with essentially one benevolent moderator.
Two, I think? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43558671

#165This has been happening in anthropic subreddits.
Two other recent examples: 1. The singer D4vd is sole mod of his fan subdeddit and deletes every post about the the dead body recently found in the trunk of his Tesla: https://www.tvfandomlounge.com/singer-d4vd-apparently-deleti... 2. Influencer Paige Lorenze is a mod of nycinfluencer snark and she prolifically deletes all unflattering threads and specifically all photos of her from before her numerous plastic surger…
Err...I know I'm one of the olds and probably shouldn't be allowed to comment, but isn't the whole point of these sites to allow one to present and enforce a carefully curated public image, often completely divorced from reality?

I hope he sues you.

Would posting to 20,000 people telling them that I was using multiple Slack aliases to 'steal students' from Codesmith's community - which was entirely and utterly false in every aspect of that statement - count under this definition?

#167Forum dictator is a messed up thing. Why is everybody so ok with it? Is it Stockholm Syndrome?
Forum dictators who are on your side can seem like a pretty nice thing, and the forum dictator of the canonical subreddit gets to curate a community that is on his side by design while everyone else is left to scramble for themselves in the wilderness.

They still have bias. Not sure its necessarily worse but there is bias inherent to LLMs

#169I'm Michael and this was about me. This person never reached out for comment and is missing half the story. I'm happy to fill people in on the rest if this person or someone else wants to hear. I agree with one or two of the characterizations but the majority I don't and there is a lot more to this story than it seems... RE: INDUSTRY. Rithm School (their main competitor) shut down. Hack Reactor is down to single digi…
If you really cared, this should have started with: "I am stepping down as the moderator..." Even though you have counter claims, you moderating the forum for your industry is problematic. You also seem keen to chime in about a competitor when you should be impartial and allow users to discuss their experiences alone. Yes there are two sides to every story, but in no universe should you be the mod of that subreddit.
This is not my industry, no. Had the author reached out for comment they could publish my claims. More interested in a hit piece than the truth.

Isn't dang a paid employee? If so, incentives are different. Its a day job that he could get fired from if he deviates from his main duties. (dang you are pretty decent don't get fired please).
