Tl;dr reddit is now going to issue warnings and bans for those who upvote violent comments. I’m sure this won’t immediately be abused against peaceful dissent.
Stop using reddit
stop doing advertisement for them

It’s weird because I remember Reddit implementing that maybe ten years ago. If someone can confirm.

Just in time for Digg to be relaunched.

No talking about guillotine, guys. It scares the billionares

Good.
Hey guys, anyone got any sturdy guillotine designs? Nothing fancy. Just a good sturdy design to chop off CEOs heads. You know, standard stuff.

By this logic, minecraft is a good representation of life. You gotta light up your base, keep the creepers away, and sometimes the enderman comes by to steal your blocks.
Plus, general society, the villagers, are total morons.

They want to protect Elon’s feeling I suppose.

Which explains why white people Twitter got hit harder than any con sub. And probably why they still aren’t allowing comments

You mean the same Spez who erased Aaron Swartz from the about page, after he off’ed himself?

I’m pretty sure comments with directed violence get removed and repeat users banned on most Lemmy instances as well…
