- 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.

Supporting Palestine: violent.
Supporting Ukraine: violent.
Suggesting Lemmy: believe or not, violent tooFor profit media is state controlled. The state being the corporations.
It is just galling to me that some massive rich dweebs interpreted all of my favorite dystopian cyberpunk as a blueprint
“Violent” needs scare quotes, because it’s obviously subjective and ripe for abuse.
As long as you don’t censor us, which a decentralized Lemmy can’t do in comparison to Reddit.
The government is way more worrying though.Hard to imagine that it was only a few years ago(, before E.Musk bought Twitter,) that we were denying the influence of governments on social media censorship, and said that “private companies aren’t censoring, because they’re not the government, if you don’t like this platform just change/leave”. It has changed and now we’ve quickly accepted that states should enforce (more )laws all over the/our internet. And many don’t see that our fact-checking is unilaterally biased, etc.
Someone from programming.dev may have heard of the declaration of the independence of cyberspace , among others.
Let me be absolutely clear.
The opinions and concerns about “censorship”, and just about everything else, from “Whatabout-NATO/'Murica?” apologists and fellators for the CCP, Xi Jingping, Mao, Vladimir Putin, the USSR, Stalin, the DPRK, Che Guevara, Castro, Islamo-totalitarians, drug cartels, and
<insertMurderousAuthoritarianTyrantsHere>are worth less than Marx and Engels’ flaming dickcheese.They can all pleasure themselves in their own puckered accelerationist bungholes with their Molotov-sippy-cups that they can barely lift out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks.
No matter who’s “side” they claim to be on, never trust anyone who says, “I/We are in charge, forever.” Especially, the angsty edgelords at lemmy.ml.
What they said is that the proletariat is in charge forever, not capitalists/bourgeois/‘the wealthiest’ anymore.
You can trust our capitalist-owned medias on whether they succeeded or not.
The problem is that the u.s.s.r., the People’s Republic of China, and other socialist states, were too attacked by foreign actors to establish a direct democracy, so it was only direct in cooperatives, and Lenin stated that reactionaries were powerful enough to justify having a strong state. It’s not in the communist “d.n.a.” though, on the contrary since ‘the final state of socialism’/communism is a stateless society. Et cetera…
Thanks for the reply though, ++
Violent content is against Reddit rules. So why is the content not being removed and the poster banned?
Because when a trap kills the rats you do not punish the bait in the rat trap.
It still drives engagement. Same for the subs that have been flooded with AI stories and bot responses. It can be marketed as engagement to advertisers.
Ah so violent content is banned unless it’s making Reddit cash. Then it’s fine.
I reckon it’s more that they need to be ‘seen’ to be doing something about it, but will nonetheless take the engagement as long as it doesn’t cause a stir. I mean they had jailbait and watchpeopledie as large subreddits for ages… until they started getting flack for it.
Ahhhhhh
Baby sad
Reddit is now Fascist media. They will suppress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.
Lol people use that website
Is there hope for digg’s rebirth?
“Hope” read as “won’t some corporation save us?!”
Yeah actually old Reddit founder and another similar dude buying it and refreshing it soon, apparently.
