A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content
-
He is not a hero, but he is the first crack in the floodgates. Whoever he is, he is a first sign of people losing temper. And his ongoing defence in court is a vehicle to make important problems relevant. Not everyone can stand behind shooting a CEO, but his act introduced the long-silenced topic that is a common ground with MAGA people too, and that's why corpo fuckers want to put it down.
Luigi didn’t shoot a ceo.

Even though it's a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn't have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it...
Untrue. Reddit employees doing what their bosses tell them to are justifiably afraid of the blowback. Reminds me of the directive to not wear Reddit branding with the 3rd party app thing These folks don't want targets on their back.

We’re in the world of wrongthink now
I'm definitely getting more and more hesitant to exercise free speech, due to rapidly increasing government monitoring and corruption.

Spez is a loser with only millions, compared to his billionaire tech bros. This is the main reason he started ruining reddit in the past years, he is frustrated and wants to also become a billionaire like his buddies
Hmmm yeah, he's "only" worth about $85M, so low/mid-upper class

I’m actually so happy to see the start of the fall of Reddit. It’s been going on for a couple years or so, but it is happening.
It's so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol

It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.

I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits
With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn't be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It's a bit over sensitive but we've all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.

At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.

Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It's not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they've spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they're just being treated the same as the radical right.

I'd not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I'm struggling to think of examples - do you have some?

I don’t see the radical left being courted by the president, so I think your comment is presenting a bit of a false equivalence, champ.

It's crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn't it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.
If you marginalized and de platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they're more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.
IE. Because the right were treated the way you are now being treated for so long, they're were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.
Also, not American, this isn't just an American thing. This is happening globally.

IMO, Facebook is Only good for keeping track of your relatives you don’t feel like visiting.
