News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
 

I’m honestly confused about what Reddit is doing with their AI filters now. I tried posting in r/help a while back because I needed actual help, and the post got removed instantly. The mod message said something about “AI‑generated content,” even though I wrote it myself.

So I rewrote it in my own words, shorter, more casual. Removed again.

Tried one more time. That time I got banned and muted from the subreddit. No human review, no appeal, nothing. Just “you’re banned.”

The rules didn’t say anything about AI. I wasn’t breaking any rule. I wasn’t spamming. I wasn’t being rude. I literally just wanted help. And now I’m permanently banned from the one place that’s supposed to help people.

Has anyone else had Reddit’s AI moderation just nuke everything you write, even when it’s your own words? Is this normal now?

From what I can tell, the initial removal wasn’t the mods — it was Reddit’s automated AI filter. After that, every post I made was auto‑removed before any human could see it, and the mods only saw the AI removal notice. So the ban came from them, but the trigger came from Reddit’s system. That’s why it felt like I was being punished for something I didn’t do.

I wasn't aware that Reddit had an automated AI filter. Considering the extreme amount of obvious AI content on Reddit I'm somewhat doubtful it exists.

Worth noting that when Reddit marks stuff as requiring a moderator review, it appears as removed until the mods approve it.

So

After that, every post I made was auto‑removed before any human could see it

this doesn't necessarily mean no one had a chance to see it.

Though I assume

the mods only saw the AI removal notice

means that you asked the mods and they informed you of this. But if you didn't get that information from them directly and are just assuming, your posts were most likely marked for review.

I get what you’re saying, but in my case the removals weren’t the normal ‘pending review’ type. The posts were removed instantly across multiple subs, my modmail was auto‑muted, and the ban reason specifically referenced AI‑generated content. That combination only happens when Reddit’s automated system flags an account. So the mods did ban me, but they were reacting to Reddit’s AI label, not the actual content.
