Good reputation buys a fast pass around the AI
Post from an account more than an hour old, with one approved commit and ten followers, and it goes live the instant you hit the button. No AI, no queue.
You write a reply, hit post, and it is already there. It is in the thread, in the log, notifications on their way. No sitting in review, no wondering whether the moderation job has gotten to you yet.
Credit goes to brendt, who taught the app to spot a poster it trusts. Three things get checked before your post is filed. Your account is more than an hour old, you have at least one approved post that has not since been deleted, and at least ten people follow you. Clear all three and the post is stamped approved on the spot, skipping the AI review entirely. The same test runs inside the moderation queue, so a post already waiting gets waved through when its turn comes, with no AI request made.
One catch. Nothing is remembered. The app recounts every single time, so lose a follower, or delete the approved post that got you in, and your next post is back in review. And at exactly one hour old you are still too new. The clock has to tick past 3,600 seconds.
