I also guess that no human being has been involved in suspending the account, just common-sense-lacking AIs doing automated tasks and classifying people as imposters of themselves. Might be the beginning of some really Kafka-level stuff for Neal trying to set that right again, depending on the mood of the complaint-processing AIs… :-)
Exactly this. Reddit has some new (as of this year) metric about “post quality,” called the Contributor Quality Score where you have to post a lot to keep it up. Low scores mean you are not a quality redditor worthy of having comments seen. So I’m soft-banned from many subs simply by virtue of not being in Reddit and makikg content for them enough. My favorite is /r/privacy, which now essentially discourages anyone guarding their privacy from participating.
Meanwhile, the AI slop bots have no problems with this metric. Me, as a real human? Pushed out. Fine, happy to oblige.
Meta and reddit are going down the same path, making a safe so space for bots and AI sloppers that no real humans will be left.
