...I just want to discuss interesting ways to prompt, and learn about new alternatives that pop up. Also society already broke itself...

Not quite what I'm looking for, but thanks for trying.

...I mean "frothing at the mouth" is an interesting and vaguely insulting way to frame it.

 

What are your favorite communities for AI discussion?

Thanks in advance.

GMC Hummer EV Pickup Truck

...yeah, we are a very dumb species and it's good that we're going to go extinct in WW3.

Well if they make a Cybertruck 2 that's lifted and looks like the Dildozer, they might have a new market. It'll get 50 miles per-charge, but it'll intimidate their neighbor's kid, so it's worth the $380,000 price tag (financed, of course).

Mods can't remove it from your own page. I've had mods where this happened confirm that, etc. I've also specifically had an issue with spez before, have called him out after, and those specific comments were removed, even comically non-rule-breaking comments.

But if someone responds to me calling it out, he doesn't touch it. And it's always right around 4PM.

Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!

What? These companies advertise to lefty-folks all the time!? They very much represent several different target-markets. Left-wing folks tend to have that middle-class to low-upper-class money. MAGAts are mostly in the lower-middle to low-class grouping, with a sprinkling of rich folks. Yeah, you can sell them some stuff, but how's that My Pillow guy doing? lol.

As far as your Coke ad goes....okay, that's the kind of dark where even educated folks would be confused. I've had this idea for a Fanta commercial where's it's just a bunch of Nazis marching lockstep to the "don't you want to Fanta Fanta" song. I feel like it highlights history appropriately, and also hits Coke in the face. But overall, I feel like folks would still get bored of it...even if they got the jokes (which a lot of folks wouldn't). No viewers, no bargaining-power with advertisers.

Am I gonna get banned for upvoting this?

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, that's how I figured out what was happening. And I'm not shadowbanned officially. If you're officially shadowbanned you can appeal it. On /appeal it says I'm not banned and can't appeal. Further I've confirmed with other mods that I'm not banned/etc. from their subs...but I have called Spez out a bunch. And honestly, I think he and I get done work around the same time or something, because my [removed]s only pop up around 4PM in the evening. If I wait and go back, they don't get removed at first...and if folks upvote or comment, usually they don't get removed later. It's been going on especially for a few days now, though it is tapering off a bit. I think maybe he's getting bored.

 

My understanding is that mods can silently remove content from their subreddits, but it will still show up in your comment-history. However, admins can silently remove content and it will NOT be in your comment history. Well, when I'm logged out, I noticed some of my comments were "removed" but when I'm logged in they show up. Looking at the comments more closely, I don't believe they broke any rules...at least not site-wide rules. I received no notification that they were removed either.

Further, these comments ALL related to the Trump/Zelensky interview. I get the need to moderate online communities, but there's something particularly dystopian about quietly censoring someone for expressing political-speech you don't like, and doing it in such a way that they (theoretically) don't even realize they've been censored (if they're not weird paranoid fucks like me). You've just secretly put a bubble around them, all for the crime of political speech you don't like.

Here are some screenshots to verify what I'm saying:

And so the same thing happened when I posted this exact post (above the "...") in another sub on Reddit...one I participate in regularly. And here's how that looks:
