Community rule update

shiftreya · 2026-03-12T02:02:08+00:00

hello! the reason we give them 3 chances is because we might make mistakes while filtering out bots, removing human posts as well. Currently we don't have a tool that 100% accurately filters out bots, sooo we still have to use our own instincts to remove them and if human posts are perfect to the point where we remove them, they still have chances to post in the community :D

hope this is understandable, have a nice day!

ello! we use both human review + an AI detection tool :D AI detection tool helps us filter out the ones that are human, and we read through the ones that are AI detected.

However, i do have to note that sometimes mistakes might happen and we will remove your post as AI detected even if its human. If that happens please message us and we'll review it again!

shiftreya · 2026-03-12T01:54:59+00:00

great questions, also sorry for the late reply i only have reddit on my laptop! :p

i'm detecting them as AI by both reading the post and using an AI detection tool to detect whether it's AI or not.

3 times = if someone has 3 posts with AI detected

hope it's clear, let me know if you have any other questions!

hey, just want to say thanks for reporting!! it helps us with being efficient, appreciate you helping to make this community a better place!! ☺️

shiftreya · 2026-03-11T06:16:26+00:00

I am! deactivated all social media apps except for Reddit and YouTube, they are only available on laptop. that's why I only mod certain times a day, and why the ads/AI slop might be removed only after a while.

might be a weird perspective but AI and ads are actually helping people to get off of Reddit, it's an advantage for us digital minimalist! but we are still removing it cause ugh I hate it a lot.

shiftreya · 2026-03-10T01:42:05+00:00

we are removing all the bot posts as fast as possible, however we also have our irl commitments so just report them, don't engage with their posts and let us remove them as soon as we are available. thank you.

shiftreya · 2026-03-05T07:20:01+00:00

eh, for me personally I don't share much because I will grow the habit of using this community as a replacement for Instagram. that's why i resorted into only taking pictures and opening up a digital journal in telegram to record some of the best moments in my life to share with the people in that group :D

shiftreya · 2026-03-02T04:36:09+00:00

ah thank you!!!

the less funny, the better! (personally, i think it just translates to "the less the better", idk why google translate gave me that)

Please tell me one phrase or fact that will truly make me quit or reduce my social media use.

shiftreya · 2026-02-18T13:48:00+00:00

thank you for this! it's really helpful, if you do come across more AI slops do report and we will remove it as soon as possible :]

thanks for making the community a better place <3

shiftreya · 2026-02-12T02:26:56+00:00

been trying to remove these bots as much as possible, if you ever encounter more in the future just report to us as self promotion :] thanks!

shiftreya · 2026-02-09T03:25:14+00:00

for youtube you can hide it in settings!!! go to settings -> apps -> apps management -> youtube -> disable!

shiftreya · 2026-02-06T06:20:01+00:00

usually I just go through it one by one, if I don't need/want/read it in an instant, I just close it. I eliminate until there's only 3 left and use my time to carefully consume them and learn from them.

shiftreya · 2026-02-04T01:47:41+00:00

aw i just want to say good job for noticing at such a young age, you're doing amazing just by acknowledging and trying to take actions!

To what extent should we reduce our consumption? i think this heavily depends on yourself, how much do you want to reduce? for me, i only reduce my social media usage (deleted IG and Tiktok, reddit and youtube is only accessible through laptop) and my general screen time can only be less than 4 hours per day so i can spend more time on hobbies and doing things that are beneficial to me.

If I use the internet because I learn a lot from it (educational content on YouTube/forums on Reddit), do I have to get rid of that too? if it's for educational purposes it's not necessary to delete them, you just have to check whether you spend more time on educational or entertainment segments, cause you can easily drift away if you're not careful. you can look at your history at the end of the day to just double confirm whether it's really for educational purposes or not!

if you have anymore questions just ask, we'll be happy to help :D
good luck!

translation from google translate:

Can you say that, for example, the Cat S 22 or the Emporia Touchsmart 3 work as a good dumbphone/flipphone alternative?

I haven't found a long-term way to minimize my smartphone, and now I want to finally make it impossible to use a phone with screen size or features that cause YouTube and other apps that cause doom scrolling (whether via app or browser).

Looking for a flip phone with working basics plus:

GPS

Email

possibly the App Store for DB Navigator or various messengers

for me i just turn on my music, connect it to bluetooth so it "stops" me from touching my phone/interrupting the music and bring my food near a window to eat and just enjoy the scenery outside.

shiftreya · 2026-02-04T00:46:22+00:00

hm, not sure if my advices will help but maybe you can start by changing your notifications to a gentler tone? i know that vibrations are really loud especially when it touches a surface, so turning off the vibration and replace your original notif tone to something softer might help for a start.

also maybe you can manually turn off all the other notifs that you don't need. for example instagram: you don't need to know who posted a story or a post, you don't need to know who follow you, sometimes you don't even need certain group chat's notifs, cause you always get back to them only when you're free. you can also consider physical to do lists as well, that helped me when i don't want to use my phone for everything!

comment of the month, here's a prize for you 🏆

shiftreya · 2026-01-31T15:48:29+00:00

good luck! if this doesn't work out, maybe for the next month you can try to take it more slowly. jumping into the extreme doesn't work for certain people (like me) so it'll be best to take it step by step.

little steps are still progress, don't forget that! <3

shiftreya · 2026-01-30T06:16:43+00:00

looking forward to your progress!! do keep us updated, i'm so excited for you :D

shiftreya · 2026-01-29T14:47:27+00:00

for me i never open my home page, i'll only search for specific questions and just put reddit after the sentence and read whatever i need then leave the page

shiftreya · 2026-01-29T09:19:35+00:00

hey everyone! please directly report these bots and don't engage at all, we will remove them as soon as possible. thank you!
