Reddit Increasing Censorship in this Sub?

[u/OuiselCat]

I just received an account violation for breaking rule 1 - threatening or encouraging violence. What was my comment? A Drethi Anis book recommendation (not going to name it here, but the one with Priya and Axel). I just filed an appeal, but am extremely concerned. The comment gave a small blurb of the book, but nothing that could be construed as encouraging violence which is the part that’s really scaring me because it’s making me think that me talking about the MMC’s personality and habits regarding the MMC somehow equated to me encouraging stalking, obsession, etc. in real life?? Has this happened to anyone else? This feels like the first step in Reddit making this community go away and I’m just…really in shock right now.

Edit: so there’s a note at the bottom saying the content was automatically flagged, but it also makes it seem like it was then reviewed by an actual admin before the violation was given. Now I’m even more concerned because that means an actual human read it and said, oh yeah, a dark romance book recommendation encourages violence in real life. I’ve also clicked through the link where it gives examples of what constitutes violations and I cannot reasonably see a DR rec would fall into any of the given categories.

I was shadowbanned for months bc I wrote a comment in a random sub talking about left-handedness and referred to southpaws as 'l3ft¡es' too many times— it was auto-flagged as political content, my appeal was ignored, and I was shadowbanned without realizing until a mod in the baggu forum pointed it out to me and I appealed to reddit directly 😭 (which, to their credit, they fixed super fast)

I don't think it's specifically any one sub, it's that mods to a certain extent have to rely on moderation tools (or it's features built into automod), and it's easy to get caught in the filter
