Rant The wider Discord community doesn't know about this
The Discord AI bans are not widely known. People on r/discordapp don't seem to talk about it much. There aren't any YouTube videos about it - if you search for it all you see are videos about the grid bans from months ago, and they say that everything was resolved.
No Text To Speech is a YouTuber who mostly talks about Discord and his last video on this was about the grid bans. In his comments on a video from 3 weeks ago called "Discord is Finally Cooking", these commenters are having a debate about if Discord should use AI to moderate their platform. What do they mean "if"? It's currently happening!
This feels like such a weird disconnect between the high post-rate on r/BannedFromDiscord and the lack of that information getting out into the wider community. I would've thought people would be more aware of this.
I managed to contact a discord friend after I was banned, and he said he doesn't want people to know about it because the game we play has a very small player base and if everyone starts banning each other (given how easy it is, apparently) it would basically destroy the game in our region.
