Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content.

Hell yeah, thanks for the suggestion!

Reddit ... punish users...

Every Reddit mod is thriving in victim culture. The instant someone makes a complaint, they become a victim, and the smooth brained mods are incapable of removing their anchoring bias from their brains when making a decision.

Mods don't do perma bans. This has nothing to do with mods.

[redditrefugee69@lemmynsfw.com]

This is different. Admins have access to much more of your data and can issue site wide bans.

[_sideffect@lemmy.world]

So why even allow the content in the first place?

[venotic@kbin.melroy.org]

I can see r/publicfreakout being the next in a line of banned communities now.

[warlockofthewoods@lemy.lol]

That's so crazy it just might potato!

Filing appeals is a joke on Reddit. They just simply ignore all of them. I've been shadowbanned from Reddit now for almost a month and I've submitted maybe three appeals. They just get off on their righteous rhetoric who feel they can never do wrong. They probably get off on people begging to have their accounts restored. Spam-filtering my ass, it's working as intended as in, it makes their jobs easier to ignore you.

Define 'violent.'

Does activism count as 'political violence' does posting things that upset people count as 'emotional violence'?

What about being part of a minority? 'ethnic violence!' How about someone that's trans, Gay, or otherwise part of the rainbow? 'Sexual violence!'

I said something like "billionaires should remember that the alternative is guillotines", just a bit of history, and an admin deleted my comment and gave me a warning.

The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.

I can see simply voicing dissent can result in a ban on Reddit. Has happened easily to me and likely others. Fuck Reddit.

I was banned for saying fascists need to be hung, appeal rejected. While you got that r/conservative sub and others like it being well, fascist and calling for Liberals demise.

Seems to me Reddit is a OK with hate speech as long as you hate the right kind.

I ate a three day ban for talking about the morality of killing Hitler if you had the chance. In an animorphs sub, because that happened in one of the books.

'It's Hitler. He Dies.'

I got banned from r/politics in 2019 by replying to

We should treat Trump exactly how he treats immigrants.

with

What do you mean, shoot him?

Appeal wasn't ignored. Instead, it was mocked.

So yeah I'm going to get banned. But not before I poison their AI data pool as much as I can.

[_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works]

In theory that doesn't sound so bad, but in practice, what are they actually labeling as violent and does some violence get a pass?

There have definitely been inconsistencies in the past where certain types of violent rhetoric gets a pass but other content that even comes close gets axed no question.

I hope it's not to silence proofs of israeli crimes

[small44@lemmy.world]

Is it exactly like reddit technology sub

[db2@lemmy.world]

Can't have anyone taking about the abuses going on, it makes Glorious Leader look bad.

As always, fuck reddit.
