**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
I commented supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods - an economic protest and it got removed by Reddit admins for “glorifying violence”
Don't you know, it's considered violence to use economics against the rich, that's only allowed against the poors
A while ago as a test I literally just typed “guillotine” without context or anything. Perma banned my 5 year old account.
well yeah; corporations are people too. they're the MOST people people. can't be violent against them.
only minorities-ethnic, gender&sexual, religious, political, etc, aren't people. it's fine to post your smuttiest snuff fantasies about us.

Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!
Oh, you don't like that and want to voice your opinion? GFY
Pigboy is worried how he'll taste with Carolina BBQ sauce
(I don't actually want to eat him. God knows what's in his feed.)
Let them kill you and your family, don't complain.
Recently had a friend tell me that he couldn't even read reddit comments anymore because of all the "SJW bs". "I'm as centrist as they come and reddit has just gone way too far left recently". I haven't spoken to him since and was a little surprised by the total lack of awareness, as he's generally a very intelligent & fun person.
There have been problematic comments in the past, but it's not possible to keep the peace with the current political/societal state - the mental / emotional exhaustion is just too much.
What about "eat the poor" from A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift? "Kill the Poor" by The Dead Kennedys? Can I post "Eat the Rich" by Motorhead?
Is anyone willing to test if "eat the poor" is also considered violent?
100% it’s not considered violent. I’m sure you could say worst about poor people and it would still be alright
The rich wannabe oligarchs are taking over every social media platform and news agencies. Twatter, TikFuck, FaceFuck, Instabam, CNN, WaPo and now Reddit. To hell with all of them.
Yup. Wonder if Reddit will similarly moderate those who make comments like "your body my voice", "51st state" etc
If they were actually consistent, /r/conservative would be gone pretty quick among other things
Anyone else think chocolate is great? I love to eat the rich, dark kind for dessert. It's a delightful way to end a meal.
If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.
They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.
I was put on a 3 day ban for "hate" because I commented about the ongoing Palestine/Israel conflicts. Basically, I said Hamas committed a horrible act but the IDF/Netanyahu have also done terrible things. To be clear, I said BOTH groups have blood on their hands.
I was banned, but commenters who condemned Hamas/Palestine and called for ALL of them to be killed and then PRAISED the IDF/Netanyahu for killing them, were NOT banned.
Apparently, we are only allowed to speak out against one particular group 🇵🇸 ☪️. The other group 🇮🇱 🕎, is absolutely innocent, perfect, and has never harmed anyone. Allegedly.
We'll see if THIS gets deleted.
Why do you think we're here? Reddit is dying
Why do you think we're here?
I think that depends largely on somebody's "join" date. If they're under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it's probably because of Reddit's AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they're older than that, then they're probably just tankies.
If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.
hey now, some of us are FOSS greybeards
Before I finally checked out, I got a month-long ban from r/electricvehicles for "That'll do pig, that'll do". Apparently automod isn't a fan of the movie Babe.
They're getting afraid. Trying to censor that stuff as much as they can before they face the inevitable guillotine.
Wow. Back when I lived there, I never would have expected that I wouldn't be able to say eat the rich.
Eat the fucking rich cunts
To be honest, reddit has been awful for a long time. In the past it was just that they would ban you for speaking out against bigots, now it's just being awful for everyone else too.
Soon they will probably use ai to pick out similar phrases people come up with without any updates. Like green Mario.
