Can you give an example of an anti-social comment? Something specific would be helpful.
2 comments

By human nature, anti-social would be anything that's meant to be destructive to, or an attack on "the tribe" or a member of the tribe. So, some examples:

- "Orange people are useless."

- "Fuck you, you piece of shit."

- "<insert political party> voters are idiots."

- "We should take away the rights of <insert demographic>."

The more sophisticated the comment the more difficult it is to tell whether it's overall anti-social or not, but we can at least identify parts of a comment that are anti-social and flag them as such.

The main issue would be people trying to get around the AI's ability to recognize it by obfuscation.

Historical classic in modern form:

- "On this issue, there is no middle ground. Either you're <aligned with a direction I advocate> or you're a <something>-ist."
