Reddit will now issue warnings to users who “upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies” within “a certain timeframe,” starting first with violent content, the company announced on Wednesday.
Reddit has seen an increase in rule-breaking posts across “several communities,” and it has issued a temporary ban on one that featured users calling for violence against people who work for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
That community, r/WhitePeopleTwitter, was given a 72-hour ban on Tuesday, as reported by Engadget. Screenshots shared on X show multiple examples of the threatening posts. Musk later reposted the screenshots, claiming that the users have “broken the law.”
In a note on the subreddit, Reddit says it was banned “due to a prevalence of violent content” and that “inciting and glorifying violence or doxing” violate Reddit’s rules. An unnamed Reddit admin said the ban was meant to be a “cooling-off period” for the community.
Reddit also gave a full ban to a subreddit called r/IsElonDeadYet for violating rules “against posting violent content.” The unnamed admin said Reddit is taking steps “to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation” in a post on r/RedditSafety.
is that sub even unbanned, i havnt seen it for weeks. right after whitepeopletwitter was banned, they started another huge ban wave that continued into FEB. definitely silencing all anti-conservative sentiment, the “progressives” posts that are allowed, get AstroTurf by trolls.
its basically X and truth social posts without going to X. and mix in with some ragebaiting articles from non-reputable sources. you also have to be careful on subs like pics, news, funny, askreddit,ask for the same reasons. why are people ranting on reddit about X and truth social, when you are reposting it.
Hmm. What does this pertain to?

Ah.
Ok but if someone was to Luigi Elon that would be based. Or Elon can follow his leader and end it in a bunker. Don’t overly care which way.
Geez, I sure hope someone starts a fediverse version of r/IsElonDeadYet right away!
I don’t know how to do proper links, but wanted to let you know that one does already exist.

That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
