An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.
In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

MODERATORS
When he axed the moderation team, and it turned out that the algorithm is so broken it shows gore videos to people who have never clicked gore accounts.
What I heard is that it mainly happened to people who follow gimmick accounts. Basically people would spam gore in the comments of those accounts, and the algorithm assumes that if you follow that account, you'll also like gore.
I haven't heard about it in a long time, so it's probably been fixed. But basically multiple people I know got a pretty horrendous video of a pet being killed on their feed, and I'm too sensitive to even RISK scrolling past that.
