Once you have shareholders, users don't matter anymore, you serve them instead.

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.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Can't have anyone taking about the abuses going on, it makes Glorious Leader look bad.

As always, fuck reddit.

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!'

There are still human users over on reddit? This must change. More punishment on reddit please!

Guys! This is how we could attract more users for the Fediverse! We could......UPVOTE VIOLENT CONTENT!!!

....ya know what? It sounded more epic, and made more sense in my head. Saying it out loud it just sounds like something a nutjob would yell out randomly in an Arbys in Iowa one quiet Tuesday.

If you are still on Reddit, that is pathetic. The API pricing was the reason to leave.

The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.

They are trying so hard to stop the civil war they are creating.

fucking normienet. why not punish users for overthrowing democracy and spreading misinformation , being bigoted and everything else that got us in this mess?

Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

This is the key bit. It's good to try and make safer online spaces. But Reddit's automated moderation has been bad for a while, and this might get more users caught up in false positives

I've seen comments tagged as abusive regardless of the context:

• someone quoting a news article
• someone making a hyperbolic joke (especially in gen-Z subs)
• actual abuse

For well moderated subs, the vast majority of those reports became false positives over time. For the mod queue, this didn't affect the end user since mods can dismiss the false positives. But automated 'scores' won't account for that.

We're going to see even more annoying algospeak like "unalive", only it's going to be in news quotes as well

I can see r/publicfreakout being the next in a line of banned communities now.

Reddit ... punish users...

Newest news!

Hegemonic violence, state violence, capitalist violence...

These will continue to not be acknowledged as violence.

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.

Shit site full of mentally handicapped pedos is shit, who’d have guessed?

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.

Get ready to have this thread removed for (checks excuses) "Rule 2"

Reddit may be a joke, but it isn't the only place. This exact thread has been on technology several times. It's definitely tech related, so rule 2 is just a shameless excuse. Is it just to farm karma on a particular account? Some other reason? Who knows, this is a clown show.

violent is the new harmful

So why even allow the content in the first place?

I hope it's not to silence proofs of israeli crimes
