Got a recent one for you. I was permabanned from reddit a month ago for saying I didn’t care that Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, because Liz Cheney is a warhawk who has called for bombing millions of people.
Banned for “glorifying violence,” not because I agreed with it or endorsed it. Just for saying I didn’t care.

I don’t agree but I see the reasoning. They are gonna lose advertisers if they allow anything like that on their site. Especially if its a US politician. “I don’t care if putin gets shot” might not have gotten you a ban, but a US politician definitely is gonna get a ban, since reddit is a US company.

No. Maybe there’s some indirect concern about advertisers, but it’s mostly narrative control and propaganda.
Look at this recent ceo shooting. The rich know they have to convince us that their lives matter more, and that we have to consider them untouchable. It’s how they maintain their position and protect themselves from accountability from their own evil & violence.

Reddit is a corporation with a CEO
The CEO doesn’t like seeing members of his own social class being shot
Reddit users cheer death of a CEO
Reddit CEO gets scared like a bitch and start ban hammering

Hahaha. No. No one is calling for the execution of social media executives. It’s to protect his fellow rich people from having their monopoly on violence challenged.
