Shit site full of mentally handicapped pedos is shit, who’d have guessed?
fucking normienet. why not punish users for overthrowing democracy and spreading misinformation , being bigoted and everything else that got us in this mess?
Hegemonic violence, state violence, capitalist violence…
These will continue to not be acknowledged as violence.
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.
I hope it’s not to silence proofs of israeli crimes
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.
The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.
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!’
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.

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.
You can’t expect Reddit moderators to have the bravery of a hawk
In fairness. Most Hawks don’t have the bravery birdboy had.
Violent is what people in power want to oppress. Right to abortion ? VIOLENT! DEI? VIOLENT! Workers rights? VIOLENT !
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.
So why even allow the content in the first place?
Reddit … punish users…
Newest news!
Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.
I can’t find it anymore but they had the same experiment around 2015 I guess. If you upvoted too many trolls or far-right people, you could be punished for this. The idea is not new.
