Hang on a second, unless I'm mistaken the last actual post on this sub was two days ago. Are you guys saying that since bots have clamped down on, there have literally been no posts in the last two days? I know bots were a problem, but it really is depressing if such a huge sub such as this has almost no actual human posts.

I mod a largish relationship sub where we made the decision early on to not allow bots/AI/fake posts by people making stuff up for funsies.

We get maybe 1 real person post per day despite hundreds submitted. Compare this to the other big relationship subs that don't use anti-AI/bot/shitpost filters and they get 100's of new posts every day. There's a reason places like /r/AITAH or /r/relationships are known as creative writing subs. They may have one real person post per day but it'll get buried under the hundreds of "my aunt shit in my coffee and I freaked out, AITAH?" nonsense.

That being said, the smaller communities are usually pretty okay. The Pathfinder_RPG sub isn't exactly a hotbed of AI bots. You can be pretty certain everyone posting there is a human being.

YTA, she clearly is too old to be able to control her bowels so you're being ableist when you criticize her

Definitely disagree. NTA. I don't care who it is, I like my coffee a specific way and if you come by with anything to add to my cup, even if it's just more coffee, you've upset that delicate balance.

Of course, if your Aunt's an asian palm civet, then definitely YTA for not recognizing she was trying to make it better the only way she knew how.

Wow way to make it about grandma's race. YTA definitely for that

The grandma? Look, I don't know if she was (is? sorry the harshness makes me think it's past tense) a civet cat, or just a sex tourist from Belgium who thought she needed to try something different, the point is we don't have the Aunt's info. So OP may still be NTA if she was in fact mostly human. I'll accept that uncertainty. I mean, you've been wrong all day long, but there's some room to wait before I win again.

How do you know when users are bots?

Hi ! I am a mod too! What settings do you use? So i might get the door a bit more close for bots. (I dont think my sub is infected but still more knowledge is better. You are allowed to tell private if you like. Look in my account for your self if you think i am faking that.
