From reading more about it, it appears it might be an A/B test thing, so some people might just be in the control group. I’ve also seen it claimed that the algorithm is basically:

spoiler

if text contains (“[n] year old” where n < 18, “little/young boy/girl”, “child”, “the dog”, “the horse”) and (any of a number of sex-related terms, which I won’t list) then flag

which obviously can cause problems if you’re using the many other definitions of “fuck”, or trying to ride a horse, for example. Contemplating this makes you really appreciate how versatile of a word “fuck” is, and how hard it is for an AI to comprehend such a linguistic enigma.

So, the filter might still be incredibly crudely designed in ways that they should have known would cause problems… and also apparently goes a bit beyond the stated scope, which is kind of important to disclose if you want people to properly identify bugs.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
