Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link)
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 day agoWith a community like Imaginary Witches, a lot of people like seeing cool drawings of witches, as long as they’re by a talented artist. A user might see an AI generated witch as a detriment to the Imaginary Witches community they want to see. Or they might not even realise it’s AI, and just downvote it for being poorly drawn in their opinion. So it makes a lot of sense not to block a community when you’ve only ever seen four bad posts from it over the past ten months.

The mod log suggests people go there just for downvoting everything. I trust the mods of a community that is constantly harassed over the users who have literally made accounts to harass the mods and posters.

After seeing all the times they labelled someone a troll just for downvoting posts they don’t like, I don’t trust their judgement. I think they’re too close to the issue. It strikes Me as paranoia. Nobody is making an alt account so they can downvote one post every couple of months, it just doesn’t fit the pattern the mods say is there.

Except for all the times the mod team has shown people making accounts to DM them when they get banned from it, sure no one does it.
People get really hated over images on the internet.

IDK man, I just got banned from there today for downvoting a post that I just thought was bad - I didn’t even realize it was from an AI slop community until I got the ban notification.
Seems like maybe it’s hypersensitive mods in this case.

Being right some of the time doesn’t mean they’re right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.
