  • I dont have a problem with like minded people. However the echo chamber is the word I meant. Valid criticisms of the popular belief are often downvoted or dismissed. Misinformation is more likely to spread without correction. Sensationalized article titles are likely to be taken at face value without reading even the first paragraph of the article, let alone different spurces of information. People will dog pile and agree with something that isn’t even true because it aligns with their existing beliefs. I recognize that’s human nature, but that’s why it’s important to not be so echoey

  • Frustration/anger is an easy emotion to provoke. It is much easier for anyone creating content to get clicks by making people mad. The title was intentionally sensationalized to get clicks, which is just the world we live in. Youtube videos perform better when it is provoking, podcasts get more listeners, news channels/sites get more watch time/site views. The headline could have just as easily said “Reddit’s r/Aviation Moderators Temporarily Delete NASA Astronaut’s Image for Quality Reasons, Then Restore It” but nobody would click on that because it’s not a story.

    Obviously there is a lot of animosity towards Reddit, but the animosity of tech companies is so widespread you could name any large tech company and make a sensationalized or clickbait headline.

  • “We completely acknowledge that the post was removed in error and that this removal should not have occurred in the first place,” they wrote. “We have talked with all the moderators on the team to ensure that this does not happen again. We are committed to fixing our mistakes, and we reapproved the post as soon as we were made aware of the issue.”

    Really don’t think this is that news worthy, in the end. It was some new guy that didn’t do his research on the post, and just assumed it was a blurry picture of an airplane from the ground. Once the more experienced mods were notified, they restored the post and apologized. It’s a pretty sensationalized headline, though that’s to be expected I suppose

  • I’m running it and it screams vibe coded. The maintainer worked for an AI company before this as well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it is mostly AI written. It’s buggy and clunky, despitr having a clean UI. The features are random and incomplete. The PDF Form creator is a joke. The signature portion doesn’t work. The “simple” mode really should be default. The website has big company bames in it saying “used by peoplr working at” which is just a bullshit and unimportant thing to say to put big companies logos on the site. Also those same logos aren’t currently removed from the simple mode probably because the AI didn’t consider that when it added the feature.

    I know it’s a new project, so I am hoping it gets better. I have wanted a tool exactly like this for so long. Unfortunate that it’s a result of AI, but beggars can’t be choosers

  • If you see more than 3 EM dashes in a body of text, it’s 100% AI. I have found random online articles where there is at least two em dashes every paragraph. No human wrote that shit. A human is lucky to get away with one em dash (and it’s been that way before AI).
