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.
Apparently, writing an inspiring post about taking action and ways to protest was just too much for the delicate sensibilities of the internet overlords. I was banned for “inciting violence” and when trying to check their content policy, its conveniently no where to be found.
Who knew that encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in was such a radical concept?
“-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)
I’m in favour of making it mandatory in the context of fucking Trump, fucking Musk and all other fucking facists or fucking fascist-enablers.
If you want to fuck trump and musk that’s your business but don’t go forcing it on the rest of us. Gross.
I find self censorship offensive
i did that alot on reddit, and still get removed for using neutral alternative words. how can you get banned for “something should happen to this person” or using demographic instead “black person”
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.
Fuck yeah …
Here on lemmy we say Fuck reddit 👍
While they hurt countless of lifes and get glorified for who they are, they are trying to silence you for speaking up.
I’m so glad I’ve quit Reddirt back when those API pricing changes happened. Fucking facists.
A message to all newcomers from Reddit: you can fucking swear here, please stop fucking self-censoring yourselves.
You can swear on reddit too. Just don’t say L**gi
This is Lemmy. We can say it loud and proud here: LUIGI!!!
Like I said, I don’t normally swear. But just for you… FUCK YEAH!!! 😆
That’s the fuckin spirit! Welcome! Fuck yeah!
Thank fuck.
please remember your local laws and the laws facing your instance provider might not be the same.
One of the most blatant thought policing policies I’ve ever seen. This China or Russia style shit.
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.
Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting “fuck biden” or “let’s go brandon” comments?
Why was I spending so much time reporting sexualized comments about minors for years on that site if they could auto detect things?
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.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
deleted by creator
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?
Pleasing the corporate overlords by suppressing anything they don’t like.
Welcome!!! It’s way better here, enjoy some freedom!
Finish the job by editing all your comments and posts to say: “Luigi spez”
