So, starting today, users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning.

I saw users warning other users to be careful (how they upvote) or they might get banned. I don't know what else screams "censorship" and "hostile environment" quite like encouraging your own users to caution those around them to shut up.

Refreshing to see a comment like this. I was dumbfounded when I opened the Reddit thread this morning and found NONE of this. The Reddit of Old is quite dead. Long live the Reddit of Whatever the Fuck this is; or, better yet, platforms like Lemmy.
