Rant: My uncle's pasta recipe comment got zapped by a mod
He wrote 'this sauce is criminal' under a cooking video and it got removed for violent speech. Took me forever to explain that automated filters don't get humor.

Tbh, that "automated filters don't get humor" thing is so real. I started putting joking comments in quotes with a wink face, it helped.

Back in 2022, I saw a study from some university about how often jokes get flagged by content filters. Your method with quotes and winks, @the_margaret, makes total sense because those filters look for key words without context. It's wild that we have to basically write for two audiences, humans and bots, which takes the fun out of joking around. I remember my friend got a comment deleted for calling something 'ridiculous' in a joking way, and it took ages to appeal. So yeah, little signals like winks or quotes seem to be the way to go until the systems learn sarcasm.
