Upvoting violent content in "a certain timeframe" will now earn Reddit users a warning, and possibly worse in future.
  • 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.

    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.
