"The comment mentions 'Cancel Culture' and uses terms like 'edgelords' and 'Nazi' in a context that dismisses and trivializes serious issues. This reflects a trend in discussions that equates legitimate critiques of harmful behaviors with extreme labels, undermining constructive dialogue and signaling acceptance of toxic rhetoric."

"Using phrases like 'Holy crap the edgelords' can come off as dismissive and disrespectful towards a group of people. It’s better to express concerns about behaviors or actions instead of labeling individuals harshly."

"Describing cancel culture as 'over the top' expresses a strong negative opinion without offering specific reasoning. It’s more effective to explain what aspects seem excessive to help others understand your perspective."

"Using phrases like 'the hypocrisy is unreal' can come across as dismissive and sarcastic, which may alienate others from the discussion. It’s beneficial to explain what seems hypocritical instead of making broad statements."

(I picked the "why it's hard to escape an echo chamber" context option, for full disclosure.)

Thanks so much. This is like gold to us.

The defaults we have set are clearly too high. That comment should be exactly what we should approve. Thanks for trying it.

    So this is a good illustration of the problem.

    If it were my site, "I like X now" would be a red flag.

    I don't think you're gonna AI your way out of this part of things for some time, and it really is the core challenge to content moderation; it's heavily opinion and circumstance based, in a way current models really struggle with.
