In my experience the bans have been very explicit, strangely designed to humiliate. Otherwise the same.
My "threatening violence" comment was "Elon Musk's fumes are fatally toxic". Permabanned from 4 subreddits and 3 day site wide, just that exact string.
Amazingly it appears like a pro left wing website. That is some wonderful camouflage.
Yep got banned for saying a politician had to be taken care of. Sure an undertone of violence. But others say they want to do plastic surgery by running over someone's head and nothing happens. I don't get how they enforce rules or does it just depend on which side of the political spectrum.
If it's against our Presidents Musk or Trump, ban. Anyone else is less scrutinized. Pro Luigi: Ban. Pro Jan 6? Probably no ban, idk.
This should be making everyone with half a brain freak out right now, even though I know nobody is going to pay attention until it's too late.
But that website, reddit, is probably the last remaining public spaces that reflects the actual attitudes of the majority of people. (Boring lib shit, but hey better than than facebook or twitter.) So when we're learning that this site is being hijacked by bots and corporations trying to subtly take over and replace the users so they can "adjust" the nature of popular sentiment, it's a giant blaring air-horn of alarm that we're about to see a massive manufactured-consent engine come to life.
People as individuals are amazing creatures, as individuals you can talk to people and make them learn and get them curious.
As a population? As a group? Worthless troglodytes, unevolved pond-scum, slime, oozing shit that seeks the lowest level. This is why we need to have a lot of concern over platforms that purportedly depict average people having average conversations, because as a population, people look to their peers for cues and when everyone is taking cues from a single, artificial entity made to look like millions of real people, we need to start pouring water on some servers somewhere.
