Post Guidance and Community Safety with Phil Aquilina
About this episode
Reddit is a big place and the safety of our users is one of our highest priorities. Scaling that safety is a constant focus, and we’ve built and evolved many different tools to enable that, used by Reddit employees and by community moderators.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Phil Aquilina, a Staff Engineer on the Community Safety team. His team recently had a big win with the release of the Post Guidance feature, which is built on top of the Community Automations platform that he designed. He’s also been at Reddit for a while, so we’ll dive into his tenure at Reddit, why he’s still excited about coming to work, and how his work is making Reddit safer for everyone.
