They’re not AI comments. They are very often regular people just sharing viewpoints which many times seem totally fine.

Sometimes they will [dead] a joke just because it was a joke. Not even offensive just grumpy mod doesn’t want humor so it’s gone.

This not Reddit. Jokes are rarely appropriate here.

A lot of dead comments receive flags from users without mods involved. I flag silly jokes sometimes, too.

You can't argue this without providing examples.
