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.
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.
Why was I spending so much time reporting sexualized comments about minors for years on that site if they could auto detect things?
The Country is ran by pedophiles since at least 90s…
Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting “fuck biden” or “let’s go brandon” comments?
That was “political” speech but saying fuck trump is a promoting violence
Welcome to 2025 america where parasite took over the fed gov 100%
