Self-Tweet of the Day, So Many Problems On Social Media Are Site Moderation Problems edition.

I’m skipping over the entire AI issue because that’s just a tangent, honestly. The real problem here is that the site moderator thinks he’s being badass, when in reality he’s just a big ol’ doofus who forgot why there was site moderation on r/Art to begin with. Betcha he thinks that he’ll look weak if he changes his stance, too*. :shaking head: What are they teaching kids these days?

Let me commit heresy: this is only incidentally an AI problem. It is REALLY a site moderator problem. The moderator has confused being a sadist for his own personal gratification with being sadistic while primarily keeping his subreddit happy and humming. https://t.co/Q7SehPNLpZ

*The reality is that the power to ban is by definition the opposite of weakness. You need a certain amount of healthy arrogance to be a site moderator, mind you. It’s not for everybody.
