What if people really got banned on Reddit for posting nonsense. I remember responding to several comments where people threw random words in and spelled stuff wrong. It was a funny trend, but could have set back their billion dollar AI.

Is that why people were doing that?

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Maybe. Its like "Bazinga" and "Google en passant" before that. With Bazinga you would just randomly use the word Bazinga.

However in the "en passant" you would post a chess board depicting a move and some advice such as "when the king is in this space he cannot be check mated because he can make one move like a knight". To which people would ask if that was a valid chess move. OP would then advise it was, and to "Google en passant". People would then post random feedback.

People have been trolling AI for years.

Wait until the AI finds out about Il Vaticano

I have seen posts that were edited to be random dictionary words on Reddit. Complete nonsense.

Most have just removed their replies while others deleted their accounts.

People have been protesting for a while.

I've seen a lot more of that. They have a tool for it

Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
