I normally would agree with you but there are cases where what was spoken and its meaning are disjointed.

Example: Picture of a plate of cookies. Obese person: “I would kill for that right now”.

Comment flagged. Obviously the person was being sarcastic but if you just took the words at face value, it’s the most negative sentiment score you could probably have. To kill something. Moderation bots do a good job of detecting the comment but a pretty poor job of detecting its meaning. At least current moderation models. Only Meta knows what’s cooking in the oven to tackle it. I’m sure they are working on it with their models.

I would like a more robust appeal process. Like bot flags, you appeal, appeal bot runs it through a more thorough model, upholds the flag, you appeal, a human or “more advanced AI” would then really detect whether it’s a joke sentiment, sarcasm, or you have a history of violent posts and it was justified.
