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.
A message to all newcomers from Reddit: you can fucking swear here, please stop fucking self-censoring yourselves.
Like I said, I don’t normally swear. But just for you… FUCK YEAH!!! 😆
please remember your local laws and the laws facing your instance provider might not be the same.
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?
Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting “fuck biden” or “let’s go brandon” comments?
“-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
Well, I don’t swear much either haha.
It’s not mandatory (but it’s allowed)
It’s okay, and in fact often encouraged to say “fuck you” to Nazis. Give it a try!
Fuck Nazis but also you can say I hope the Nazis are murdered in glorious violence.
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.
Can they remove a bad review without text?
don’t see any reason they would remove that.
Calling something “literall 1984” is trite, I know, but this is pretty damn close to getting charged with wrongthink.
It won’t be long until the US rival the CCP for censorship and persecution.
What do they expect to achieve with this?
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.
I imagine it’s a convenient way to weed out all those pesky people saying inconvenient things that investors don’t like
What did your comment (and mine) achieve?
Welcome!!! It’s way better here, enjoy some freedom!
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Finish the job by editing all your comments and posts to say: “Luigi spez”
