Reddit seems to have introduced sitewide AI moderation bots that are sweeping up users and outright banning them, without warning or explanation, for crimes like including links in their posts. This has started to hit some pretty well-known artists in r/comics.
It’s inconsistent and unpredictable - which makes it worse, since you don’t know what the rules are. As companies like Reddit give up more and more control to unaccountable machines, this kind of thing is getting more common.
Reddit has always had kind of a strange relationship with contributors and what is often called “self-promotion”. On one hand, it wants Content… But it can’t seem to decide where it wants the content to come from.
It’s nice that we’ve got alternative spaces like this.
Anyway, have some links:
- More comics:
- Patreon
Nothing from that community has federated to your instance yet. Visit it from the host instance, and you see plenty of recent activity: https://lemmy.ca/c/LoveAndHex
Someone from your instance has to subscribe to the community. I believe that causes future posts to start getting federated to your instance.
Thanks. There’s still so much about the fediverse I need to learn…
