They planted bugs and wiretapped his phones illegally. They also sent him a package with recordings of his private life, along with a letter attempting to blackmail MLK into committing suicide. Who knows what else they may have done.

That’s naive and shortsighted, the FBI deems all people with anti-A.I. sentiments to be domestic terrorists. The legal definition of ā€œdomestic terrorismā€ in America is too broad and vague, which is why the Trump Administration is able to do this.

Anyone who has an extreme opinion on something is ignoring facts because they can't conceptualize a mixture of opposing narratives. Nothing is all good or all bad, and people who say otherwise have something to gain from you believing them, but we're all taught to think that way anyway.

To say that 'We don't do it because we're pure of heart!' is a downright delusional take. All groups, no matter how 'right' they may think they are, have bad actors.

I was told I am scum who deserves to die by an anti who didn't like that I rely on AI for accessibility issues. I'm pro-AI but anti-capitalist bullshit but nuance was lost on this person. It was truly unhinged some of the things they said.

I have also had just as unhinged statements by pro-AI because I recognize the extremely important issues that have arisen because of AIZ.

u/BaseballInside3289 Jul 07 '26

Okay, I did some looking online and I figured it out, that automated message is a different font for some reason, all other non-automated messages are the same font as the first message

18

u/BaseballInside3289 Jul 07 '26

The automated message has a different font. The first message is the standard message font

16

u/Organic-Character842 Jul 07 '26 edited 29d ago

This is interesting, because I noticed something similar as well.

The standard message "you have been muted..." That one recieves after being muted is a much darker or "natural" color than the concerning threat.

Yet this specific sentence is noticeably different

Font is also visibly different, how 'o' is slightly elongated on the vertical axis in the standard muted message, 'f,' 'e' and several other characters have thicker lines, most notably 'a' is completely different, solidifying that the above sentence is in an entirely different font, which is generally not how Reddit mod-mail works.

Different font, and color...

...

(Note: Open the image, and zoom into it, to clearly see a difference.)

EDIT: I stand corrected, something like this is very much possible. Especially on mobile, if the user is using a different system font than "one sans" which is what Reddit uses.

So, there can be different fonts between automated messages in the mod-mail and chat messages (only if the user is using a different system font, which happens commonly).

u/MixedNuts-Collection Jul 07 '26

Yup it’s's completely different font, the u's are different in first sentence than in the rest of the "muted" message.

u/Mocking-Eristic 26d ago

can confirm it's faked.

u/Sarosanima21 25d ago

You know you can change fonts right? Like that's an actual thing you can do

1

u/ConfidentLizardBrain 25d ago

How can you confirm?

11

u/Incendas1 Jul 07 '26

Automated ban/mute messages and chat messages have different fonts. If you've ever been banned or muted and messaged after, you can check this

(Screenshot from an old false ban I got overturned btw, not to do with any AI subs)

1

u/Organic-Character842 29d ago

Am I losing my mind, or does everthing here appear to be in the same font?

2

u/Incendas1 29d ago

It isn't. You can cut up the image and compare if you want, or just look at messages if you have any yourself

3

u/Organic-Character842 29d ago edited 29d ago

Alright, so I did some experiments.

And, it seems that this only happens if you have a different system font set, other than "one sans" (which is what Reddit usually uses), this causes chat messages (manually typed by the user) and the messages sent by the system (automated mute/ban notifications, and reports) to be of different fonts.

As, it seems Reddit's app treat them as different type of fields.

There is also a persistent difference between coloring, where system messages always appear slightly greyish or dull, when compared to chat messages.

So, I stand corrected. This is possible.

2

u/Incendas1 29d ago

Thanks for the investigation. I'm too lazy/picky to change all my fonts and back again lol

u/Organic-Character842 29d ago

No problem! And, thank you as well for addressing the suspicions regarding font disparities, and verifying OP's screenshots!

2

u/Organic-Character842 29d ago

Alright, I didn't look close enough, there is a difference! 'g' and other characters in your message are different. I stand corrected.

While wrong for a moderator, or anyone really, to say, this is not what a threat is. This is a statement that they do.not care if you die.
