Know what I don't miss from reddit? Every other post with "1 comment" but it's just fricking automoderator (feddit.uk)

There will be automods here as well...

They don't have to behave the same way fortunately, like auto replying to every thread posted.

They likely will do some day because most people don't read what the sidebar says...

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

It can be implemented directly, though. Like as a site feature showing a message above the comment form, not as a bot making posts.

[–] anaximander@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly I think that's just a failing of community ethos. It'd be nice to bring back the expectation that people make the bare minimum attempt to check the rules of a community they're trying to participate in, and let moderators just assume that everyone has read the sidebar rules. If you haven't, and you break a rule by accident... well, tough luck, you'll get the same treatment as everyone else. Next time, read before posting.

Ask yourself, did automod actually help that?

[–] ChemicalRascal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The thing about automod comments is that they were, indeed, comments. As such, they showed up in your replies.

So if you made a post, you'd get that message in a place you would expect to see content that you would actually want to engage with, that is, people discussing your post.

So, in short, yes.

Maybe we can have automod comments not count, or something like that.
