It's actually kind of amazing that (apparently, but I'm willing to be wrong) AI has resulted in more people getting banned (rather than less, which you would think. You would think AI makes this easier to filter out, search for problem accounts, whatever)

Like, the problem was always the asymmetry. Can FB police everything? Probably not. Should they be able to operate at scale if they can't? Unclear. Section 230 blah blah platform not responsible for things users post

But YOU sure get banned. At any time for any reason. When you then "report" (that button does... what, exactly?) an actual problem, platform happily tells you no community standards were violated.

You might even get banned for something you were forced to do https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24776748 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24201306)

See, this is why shit like holding his feet to the fire for Dumb Fucks https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1692122 matters. I don't care if he was young, he also hacked Crimson reporters. Because what he ('he', assuming he didn't just steal it from the Winklevosses) built early on has evolved into a platform that is many things and fucking broken (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14147719; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6090712) on top of that

I stopped using Facebook because they nearly banned me because their AI was too stupid to notice a joke comment. I was working for Red Lobster corporate at the time, and was the admin of the Facebook app, so if I had gotten banned, it would have been a mess. So I flat out stopped using Facebook. I maybe log in once in a blue moon, then log back out. I appealed the strike, then not even 5 minutes passed, I was denied. I don't even remember being able to explain why what I said was not worthy of a warning, but honestly, screw em. I don't even need it for work anymore, but I'm never going back to that dystopian shell of social media.

I do hate it though, Mark has meaningful funding to build some actually useful AI, hell if he started bottom up, he can have his anime waifu he wants.
