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.

    “-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

    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.

      Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting “fuck biden” or “let’s go brandon” comments?

      Why was I spending so much time reporting sexualized comments about minors for years on that site if they could auto detect things?

    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.

          None, but I see people arguing what is legal on my instance from time to time which is odd because SJW servers are Canadian. I see the same on .world

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

      I imagine banning / blocking people whose opinions they don’t like, creating an echo chamber?

        Yep. Like X. The fascist tech bros goal is to turn all of US tech into fascist state media.
