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.

    Reddit is now Fascist media. They will suppress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.

    “Violent” needs scare quotes, because it’s obviously subjective and ripe for abuse.

    They keep telling me that China isn’t controlling Reddit, yet I keep seeing nonstop evidence they are. 😶
