Nice! AI to moderate bots, finally a site that doesn't require any human interaction at all. 🤣 🤡

TIL that Digg was still around.

The domain was owned by a company that was using it for Gawker-like blog spam for several years, but Rose just bought the domain back 2 months ago and they’re getting ready to relaunch.

Nah, Kevin Rose reacquired Digg in March.

Capitalists are so fucking innovative that they're trying to replace unpaid human labor with robots that are worse and cost money.

I was a mod on reddit for a couple larger subs. I would like AI to get rid of the really awful shit people would send us over modmail.

reddit

reddit AI took over moderation at the beginning of the year, massive amount purges, and then they upped thier shadownban AI moderation recently.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That AI would make no difference, as there's no content to moderate in the first place.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It hasn’t launched yet

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Jesus Christ. when will these fucks learn they're overcomplicating moderation...

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Lolz, this is sure to endear users

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And next community over there's yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, who continuously illustrate the capricious and hateful nature of many human moderators.

I say give AI a chance at it and see what happens. If it works, great. If it doesn't, people will just go elsewhere.

I'm with you. I'm curious how it'll go.
