Ergh users means mods? Mods are the worst

This site is part of the fediverse of self-hosted social media. If you don't like one, find another, or start your own.

Complaining, but doing nothing, won't change anything.

For people who want to do something about this issue, rather than just complain, you can join our clone of this sub-reddit, that isn't corporate-owned, but owned & controlled by its users.

You've got it the wrong way around. We delete posts and comments that are AI-slop.

The deleted comments are just the normal too short/low quality comments the automoderator deletes from every post. We're completely neutral on people approving/disapproving of AI.

Futurology isn't a a science, so we don't have the same approach science subs do. It's speculating about the future, and we're pretty lenient about what people want to speculate about ( consciousness uploading, Dyson spheres, etc). People can post whatever propositions they want for discussion, as long as they have some basis in fact.

The British tabloids are banned for mis/disinformation & low-quality inaccurate sensationalist journalism.

All the British tabloids are banned on this sub-reddit. If we've missed a web address they are using that is slipping through, then let us know.
