Reddit Is Restricting Luigi Mangione Discourse—but It’s Even Weirder Than That: The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet.

I literally just got a message from Reddit saying my account has been given a warning for advocating violence.

It was in response to a post that was about Duerte's wife hitting a police officer with her phone because she wasn't allowed to see him in after he was arrested. A user said "Right or wrong, I'd want my wife to do this for me."

My response was "If I'd murdered thousands of people I'd want my wife to leave me."

That was removed, and I'm on the naughty step. With the sort of stuff that gets posted on this site, a comment criticizing a dictator for murder and his wife for violence getting removed and flagged seems crazy. I think potentially AI removed it, which is more worrying.

The actual posts advocating violence are still there.

Same. Honestly it'll be their loss more than mine, I'm chronically online and comment like a lunatic. They'll have less content if they ban me and I'll have more free time
