I got this message today:

We’ve been alerted to activity on your account(s) that is considered breaking Reddit’s rules. We recently found that your (censored) account violated Rule 8 by repeatedly upvoting posts and/or comments that break Reddit’s rule against encouraging or glorifying violence or physical harm. While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, upvoting content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation. As a result, we’re issuing this warning and asking you to be thoughtful about any future content you upvote. Continued violations could result in a temporary or permanent ban. Please familiarize yourself with Reddit’s rules to make sure you understand the rules for participating on Reddit. This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.

I’m a very non-violent person, but I guess by upvoting comments that say “-F Trump” or “-F Musk” is breaking their rules. That’s such a huge red flag. Now I’m getting warnings about what probably most of the world is thinking? Great policy there, Reddit.

    Apparently, writing an inspiring post about taking action and ways to protest was just too much for the delicate sensibilities of the internet overlords. I was banned for “inciting violence” and when trying to check their content policy, its conveniently no where to be found.

    Who knew that encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in was such a radical concept?

    While they hurt countless of lifes and get glorified for who they are, they are trying to silence you for speaking up.

    I’m so glad I’ve quit Reddirt back when those API pricing changes happened. Fucking facists.

    “-F Trump” or “-F Musk”

    Bro! This isn’t reddit! Here you can keep things readable so we don’t have to de-asterisk/guess Therefore “Fuck Trump & Fuck Musk” will just do quite well

    One of the most blatant thought policing policies I’ve ever seen. This China or Russia style shit.

    Reddit can apparently automagically detect when posts/comments are glorifying violence and detect when users upvote them… Then why aren’t they just removing the “violent” comments? Why leave them up?

    We all know why: because Spez is fucking lying.

    Don’t forget to leave very bad review on how terrible their app is, lack of privacy, crashes and etc. Only talk about the app features and nothing else if not they can remove your review.

    Calling something “literall 1984” is trite, I know, but this is pretty damn close to getting charged with wrongthink.
