A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter
What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?
Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what’s happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc…
Are you seriously suggesting there is no way to grant whistleblowers anonymity without granting it to corporate spokespeople providing statements on behalf of the company? You’re a fucking idiot
Fucking scary shit. Now, it is simply “liking” content Reddit doesn’t like. Soon, it will be upvoting things that the government doesn’t want you to see, or paints them in a bad light.
paints them in a bad light.
So, like… facts?
Just like facts.
I’m actually so happy to see the start of the fall of Reddit. It’s been going on for a couple years or so, but it is happening.
So, are subs like /r/Mario and /r/Nintendo going to be banned for “encouraging violence”?
No, the mods will just get constant streams of false positive flags they have to clear.
Linguine
The enshittification continues.
All because of greed.
Reddit is rich too though
Spez is a loser with only millions, compared to his billionaire tech bros. This is the main reason he started ruining reddit in the past years, he is frustrated and wants to also become a billionaire like his buddies
Hmmm yeah, he’s “only” worth about $85M, so low/mid-upper class
In their minds, that’s literally it. They compare themselves to billionaires. Millionaires are just temporarily embarassed billionaires.
Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
The fact that I can read this comment, makes this site a million times better.
Allegedly.
That’s wild. I joined Reddit when everyone left digg, so 2008ish. There used to be a sub called /r/suicidewatch where you could post those kinds of thoughts safely. There can obviously be some issues with that but what a change
So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?
Came to the comments to find this question lol
I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits
With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn’t be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It’s a bit over sensitive but we’ve all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.
i guess if viewed from an overly protective POV and maybe in a sensitive subreddit in subject matter, but in the more generic subs that make it to Popular regularly, quality shit posting needs to be considered and applauded as being such. Like if it was a subreddit for survivors of being punched by redditors, i would not make such a comment, very poor taste.
Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I’m not even remotely surprised that you got banned.
Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit… You know… the people who over 80 years ago were responsible for gassing 6 million Jews, 6 million Russian POWs and thousands of homosexuals and political dissidents.
Hey look, the cancer is dying of itself…
It just shows how scared the elites are of all the people they screwed over.
It’s getting harder not to hate these people
People saying Luigi is a hero but then defend the Democrats. Truly astonishing. Luigi’s actions are a call to systemic revolution. He is a god damn hero, and will probably go down as a martyr if the federal government gets their way.
He is not a hero, but he is the first crack in the floodgates. Whoever he is, he is a first sign of people losing temper. And his ongoing defence in court is a vehicle to make important problems relevant. Not everyone can stand behind shooting a CEO, but his act introduced the long-silenced topic that is a common ground with MAGA people too, and that’s why corpo fuckers want to put it down.
Not everyone can, but most do
Democrats aren’t perfect but we’d be in 92% better shape with one in the Whitehouse right now.
We? Who is we? The working class would still be exploited. We’d just have a President who is “nicer” about it. We need a revolution, because reform is damn near impossible now.
Innocent until proven guilty.
