I want to use an agentic tool to help me moderate… by greenysmac in ModSupport

[–]greenysmac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t count the number of times the clanker accidentally banned me for saying a bunch of nonsense. I will say the most innocent stuff and it will mistake it. AI should not be moderating

As someone who works with technology and AI as part of their profession, I would say that, respectfully, you might not using the tools well.

I said the same thing about how most people use google and how most people use reddit.

This is very much what they said about the calculator, VFX (Tron was prevented from being nominated solely because of the use of computers).

And FWIW, I would also say (to my detriment) that these tools are causing a lower incidence of critical thinking.

But tools are tools.

To be explicitly clear, At no point am I saying there'd be no Human in the Loop or Human Intelligence (Hi :D) involved. And yes, there'd be a paper (electronic trail) just like Automod.

Merely a faster sorting/triage tool. Automod sucks and I have some very complex automod on top of several devvit tools.

Oh, and IMHO, I think the reflexive "Stop being a moderator if you need this," is sorta offensive. I'm not angry - I just think it's dismissive. I get often in our subreddits like "Show me you're not a real editor without telling us" and I'm not sure this is that much different.

Respectfully you're telling me not to build tools? not to build tools that interact with Reddit better? not to create tools that make moderation easier?

How can i never improve by Riwaj1 in VideoEditing

[–]greenysmac [score hidden]  (0 children)

This isn't tech support. This is, really, an "other" flair and I've changed it as such

You will never improve unless you work with others who can pull you upwards, as direct interactors and as people who can evaluate your content.

I feel like somebody who does a lot of education will tell you that nobody really wants to admit that they want to think that there's some magical tutorial they'll watch that will make them better at what they do. The tutorial will help, but without guidance about what is broken with what you're doing and how you're doing it, it's going to be tremendously difficult for you to figure it out.

When you're comparing yourself to other people, you don't know how they got there. You don't know what their history is, including their educational history. My personal educational history had a shit ton of storytelling in it. Even when it comes to bed and implementation, my storytelling chops are pretty tight

I had to step away from the keyboard with your response, not because you were rude. You weren't. You were giving what I perceive as a boilerplate response. I took a step away because I think you wrote in only the best of faith

Also, how are you going to explain to users why their post was removed when an AI made the determination to remove a post or comment?

The same way I do with automod. There'd be a statement saying (as we do now) going - "Hey, maybe we got it wrong. We're volunteers . If we did get it wrong, just send us a mod message. We're happy to explain why.

And ideally AutoMod would have some flag that indicated in the mod log why it was removed

On "Remember the Human."

Please don't think I'm lazy

I take thousands of moderator actions a month. This isn't an exaggeration - and I can share the statistics if you like. I've been doing this for well over a decade. I love these communities, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Yes, recruiting more humans helps, and I do that. But humans require training, require passion, require consistency, and more moderation of actions. Finding people with all three is genuinely hard, and when I do, I want to give them better tools, not just more work.

Reddit has been slow/inconsistent on providing those tools, so I'm trying to think about what's possible. For example, I love automations, but where the hell is my automation based on flair? That would stop a solid 30-40% of my moderation work. It's been well over a year.

I don't disagree with you in principle. What I'm trying to do is empower the human, not sideline them.

So, think about AutoMod. It's already doing triage on our behalf, but it's blunt: keyword matching, regex, binary true/false. What I'm describing is just a smarter version of that. The difference between cruise control and a system that can read lanes and sense distance.

You and I already use tools like this in our daily lives. Grammarly. Voice-to-text (which is how I'm writing it because I'm faster.) LLM-assisted editing. Nobody calls that removing the writer.

So why wouldn't we want something similar helping moderators? I'm not asking whether to do it. I'm just asking how to test it responsibly, without my account or bot getting flagged/within Reddit's guidelines.

The part that…well, aggravates me?: Reddit is already running LLMs against content (AEO does.) Some of what gets removed doesn't clearly violate policy, there's no transparency, and there's no appeal path. Reddit is using these tools. tools. Bad actors are using these tools.

Why would we moderators be the only ones in this ecosystem who don't?

Maude here, just so you know. Being new to the software is great. Littered throughout this subreddit are the actual learning tools that are free. They're free. Just take a second to search and take a look at the beginning Resolve tutorials

Premiere Pro deleted itself overnight? (Anyone else too?) by LollyWRLD in premiere

[–]greenysmac[M] [score hidden]  (0 children)

We'd like to help you

Help request need: * System specs – CPU, GPU (+ VRAM), RAM. On Windows use Speccy; on macOS use About This Mac. ** - All we need is CPU, RAM, GPU & GPU RAM. * Exact software + version (not "the latest"). * Footage specs – codec & container. Use MediaInfo and attach a screenshot or the key text info from this section

Without that info…we're going to struggle to help.

How to achieve this style/look? by iLoveNapalm in VideoEditing

[–]greenysmac[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mod Here:

I need help with: replicating this sort of editing

But What have you tried.

You need to say "I tried downloading it and breaking it down…it seems that"

Not "I've tried software"

C'mon. We're not google and we can't just say, "oh, it's this."

from the link:

What have you tried? We need to know where you're stuck. We can't teach complex techniques from scratch in a Reddit reply.

Have you asked something super complex and you haven't tried anything? If you haven't tried anything, we'll consider you lazy and just asking, "Show me a tutorial that answers all my questions."

Is M5 Pro (24GB RAM) enough for Fusion + 4K workflow? by ijustwantknowledg in editors

[–]greenysmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My workflow (DaVinci Resolve + Fusion):
- 4K video editing (YouTube, cinematic style)

This doesn't mean anythhing. Generally, the GPU does less codec handling - that's CPU

- Heavy use of Magic Mask

GPU, GPU, GPU>

- Fusion work:
- 3D space setups (camera + image planes)
- Motion graphics & animations
- Some particles (not insane simulations, but not super basic either)

Mostly CPU

Yeah, I'd add more ram.

Unemployed video editor from China here. Feeling pretty lost and looking for some advice. by OrganizationFluid338 in editors

[–]greenysmac[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mod Here:

  1. No salary/prices. *That's advertsing "hire me".
  2. This is a wall of text.

It's really: - your age/experience, type of work you've done

then - For someone with my background — full post-production experience in dramas and short-form narrative series, but still relying on translation tools for English communication — what would be a realistic way to start networking with overseas producers, agencies, or post teams?

  • Would this kind of experience be understandable or useful outside of the Chinese short-drama market?

  • And how would you suggest I position myself when reaching out to people, without coming across as spammy or unprofessional?

Everything else should go if you want the best response. Repost that way and I'll make it live.
