They have no problem with r/worldnews calling for Palestinians to be exterminated or r/Conservative demanding slavery back, but laughing at a Nazi who said gun deaths were "worth it" getting gunned ...
I don’t disagree with that. My point was more along the lines that that particular community is home to some pretty rude assholes. When the difference between getting banned and not, depends on the extent to which a rule gets violated…that community definitely has a very high number of people with no filters, who regularly spew some pretty rancid takes. Not really the types to “keep their heads down, until shit blows over”, if you know what I mean.
And unfortunately as you indicated, due to Reddit being Reddit, now is probably not the best time to go out of your way to prove how edgy and anti-establishment you can be. It just gives them an excuse to pull the trigger on you.

The way you’re phrasing it sounds like victim-blaming here.
Celebrating Kirk’s death is a form of political speech, just like burning an American flag.
Reddit has always used “free speech” as a shield for toxic content that brought in advertising revenue.
If they were participating in a platform that supported free speech, it wouldn’t matter how ‘toxic’ they are. They were lied to.
being rude, isnt a reason to ban a community. So does r/conservatives, they did worst and they arnt banned.
