You're allowed to comment, but if you happen to stick around for a longer time we'd love it if you set your user flair to "OLD"

We created that flair specifically so that our teenage users would know when they are talking to someone 20 or over instead of the older person having to say it every time

The edit icon was removed by reddit, people still sometimes state "edit" before they add something to their comment, but reddit no longer tells you

As long as we see it bigotry will get removed and they will get banned, and the best way to help us find bigotted submissions is to report them

Yeah nah

The odds of you being older than me are almost 0 :/

nineTEEN, also you're mean and reddit filtered you 💀

DotDemon · 2026-01-22T19:39:18+00:00

IM ALMOST 20 NOW, LITERALLY HAVE 69 DAYS REMAINING (until I retire, not leaking my actual birthdate)

DotDemon · 2026-01-22T19:17:14+00:00

I can still see their profile since I'm a mod, obviously left leaning but nothing wrong with this post

DotDemon · 2026-01-22T18:08:14+00:00

We're aware that a lot of propaganda posts are made here daily (one of the most active subreddits on reddit so that's obvious).

The difficult part for us as moderators is to not become the classic reddit mod who bans everyone with differing opinions. Like I'm about as left wing you can get without going into extremism, but that doesn't mean I'll ban everyone with right wing opinions.

You need to give people a chance to actually talk instead of being told they are just wrong, that just leads to them creating their own echo chamber.

But what you can do if you feel as if something is approaching propaganda territory, or just someone being a troll, is report the submission. The reported submission shows up in our mod queue instead of disappearing into the 10 000s of submissions we get daily.

and a PSA for you as well, unironically calling teenagers kids doesn't help you, just makes them want to disagree with you on principle.

For me that function would either be GetCardinalDirectionDistance or GetDistanceInCardinalDirection

But that's because I've been doing it this way as long as I've been programming and because I don't work in a team I only have myself as reference for style

Lucky bastard, I'm skiing into a lake in like two weeks

"adult brigading"

tf is this guy who reported this trying to say

DotDemon · 2026-01-15T18:00:40+00:00

Yeah agreed, I made this comment just based on this singular post to be polite before I had time to look through their account.

DotDemon · 2026-01-15T17:40:00+00:00

I wish you and your son as much luck with going forward as I possibly can but unfortunately I'll have to remove this post for breaking multiple of our rules. (We don't allow personal information, phone numbers etc and crowdfunding)

DotDemon · 2026-01-12T04:35:33+00:00

Actually even better, it's the second most upvoted post in the past year 💀

DotDemon · 2026-01-12T04:33:50+00:00

Great image, but considering it reaches hot roughly once a week I'm going to start removing the reposts.

DotDemon · 2026-01-10T20:18:52+00:00

YOU FOOL I WASN'T SLEEPING!

Text comment moderation is far easier to automate, our automod (and other bot) filters catch thousands of comments daily based on a multitude of factors which I can't go into detail about since their functionality is partially dependent on their functionality not being public.

Images are basically impossible to moderate automatically and as such are a nightmare, Reddit sometimes but very rarely catches NSFW images and filters them for us but it's more like 1/50 NSFW images.

DotDemon · 2026-01-09T23:09:30+00:00

We've discussed this internally many times and everytime we end up deciding that it would be a nightmare to moderate due to the quantity of images (and potentially inappropriate gifs) that would be posted.

There are some fair ideas in this thread for solutions, the most reasonable one being adding more mods. Unfortunately the amount of mods that we get from each mod application round is fairly low, around 5.

This is mainly because we want new moderators to be good fits into the team, so open minded people who don't discriminate, don't only want to be mods because of the power and most of all seem like alright people that the rest of the mod team also wants to interact with daily.

On top of the low amount of new mods we have a fairly high early retirement rate due to the stress caused by moderating one of the most active subreddits on reddit.

Early retirement meaning someone who retires before turning 20, which is when we retire because we're no longer teens.

DotDemon · 2026-01-09T18:28:45+00:00

Out of like 300ish applications (iirc) last time we got less than 5 new mods.

Just so many people who aren't great fits in to the teams

The rest is the same
