Sooo since Discord Support responded to my original post, I would like to respond to their response:
1) A Discord employee replied to my original post saying that it was “misinformation” and that “this has nothing to do with AI” which, no offence to them, but I think this is nonsense. For example, this official Discord article: https://t.co/qg5O3unaBK explains how Discord uses “machine learning”, which is a subset of Artificial Intelligence.
Also, the employee misunderstood my post, I was trying to make a general point about the problems with AI moderation on Discord and they took it as if I was only referring to that one specific issue. (No hate to them obviously)
2) Adding on from that, I do believe that if Discord has to use AI for moderation, it has to be changed. The current system is fucked up and causes thousands of people to falsely lose their accounts when they have done nothing wrong. The incident this weekend was one example, but not just that, MILLIONS of people get false bans because of AI all the time!! This even happened to an owner of the unofficial Roblox server, a server which has 1m+ members and is a partnered server with Discord themselves! Link: https://t.co/XalHxhxZaU
The best way to fix this going forward would be to, at the very least, give everyone an option to choose to have a human reviewer for all support tickets & appeals. I’m pretty sure Roblox already does this but I could be wrong, regardless of that it would be great if Discord and other companies like YouTube adopt this. A lot of the time, clankers are stupid and make unfair decisions, which can end up ruining people’s lives. A lot of people rely on their accounts for stuff like work or to communicate with friends and that can be taken away from them because of something that isn’t even their fault.
3) Discord claims that they’ve unbanned everyone, however I’ve seen a lot of people who are still banned because of sending grid images. Yeah… soooo… they can’t just be lying to us like that.
Feel free to like & retweet to spread awareness and drop me a follow if you want. Also Discord please increase the max friends limit. 1000 is too low, it would be nice if it was 2000. And let us record audio in VCs and stages on mobile and iPhones. Thank you and have a great day!!

"a member of our Trust & Safety team always reviews flagged content before any action is taken" might be the biggest lie told by any corporation ever LMAO
Stop treating fictional anime characters like they're real human beings.
The people you're complaining about can tell the difference between fiction and reality. It's really not that hard.
No one is harmed in the consumption of lolicon. You don't save any children by condemning those who do.
You won't be able to find any current data that will link lolicon to pedophilia.
I'm so tired of seeing this debate pop up every two days.
Lolicon has been part of the core of anime wince it's inception. Yet, you've never heard of rampant pedophilia among the fandom, have you?
People like cute anime characters. That's all there is to it. Stop treating it like more than what it is.
If you can't get that through your head, you probably need to be evaluated.
It's fine to find lolicon weird. It's not a niche for everyone.
But for fuck's sake, shut the fuck up.
I know people who are *still* not unbanned today for messages about the most basic stuff.
I've seen people get sniped for something about child safety, and the message was just "Ok" or something completely unrelated.
There are actually videos demonstrating AI moderation by mass reporting accounts to just get them banned, with banned users almost never getting human reviews.
@VirusZeke How is the grasp on a very basic understanding the difference between fiction and reality so completely lost on so many people these days? This surely counts as mass hysteria at this point...
