- Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
- The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
- Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

They are trying so hard to stop the civil war they are creating.
Shit site full of mentally handicapped pedos is shit, who’d have guessed?
Funny enough, I just made this account after getting banned from reddit for reporting violent content. Apparently it constituted “abuse of the report button”, go figure.
fucking normienet. why not punish users for overthrowing democracy and spreading misinformation , being bigoted and everything else that got us in this mess?
Because that generates 🌟ad revenue🌟 😍😍
What if i think «guillotine » is the most beautiful word of 2025? I know some would argue Luigi should be first here, but i stand by my conviction.
Can’t have anyone taking about the abuses going on, it makes Glorious Leader look bad.
As always, fuck reddit.
Hegemonic violence, state violence, capitalist violence…
These will continue to not be acknowledged as violence.
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!’
Violent is what people in power want to oppress. Right to abortion ? VIOLENT! DEI? VIOLENT! Workers rights? VIOLENT !
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.
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.’

You can’t expect Reddit moderators to have the bravery of a hawk
In fairness. Most Hawks don’t have the bravery birdboy had.
If he only had a hawk-sized watch, we wouldn’t have this problem
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.
They no longer need users, they are just training their AI
Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.
The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.
I was permanently banned from reddit recently. Reason? There was a moron in a game sub who kept saying that I am dumb and my stats must be shit. I shared my stat and commented, “It must be tough to think and breathe at the same time with just one brain cell.” Boom. Banned for violating some policy. The moron who was being toxic is still active and pissing other people off. What’s more funny is that they even rejected my appeal.
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.
It’s just like Twitter. Now that Trump is back in the white house, tech companies can get away with whatever boosts profits, even if it means being a toxic cesspool of conservative hate speech (it’s ok because the president does it amirite)
Fuck reddit. My ban is a badge of honor for not being a fucking snowflake.
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.
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.
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 can see r/publicfreakout being the next in a line of banned communities now.
I can see simply voicing dissent can result in a ban on Reddit. Has happened easily to me and likely others. Fuck Reddit.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
You’ll eat your new reddit and train any AI models that we decide to feed your data to and you’ll enjoy it. Reddits clients are probably passed that all their models end up turning into incels.
