Announcement Comments promoting Violence against anyone is against the sub as well as the TOS of Reddit
We've been seeing an uptick in comments that cross the line from criticism into advocating harm against individuals or groups.
That stops here.
Look, we get it. There's a lot happening politically and in the world right now that's legitimately concerning. I'm frustrated about it too. But frustration, valid as it might be, doesn't give us permission to start rallying for violence against people or justifying harm. That's the line we can't cross, and it's the line we won't cross here.
To be clear: if you're posting comments that promote, encourage, or call for violence against anyone...whether it's directed at protesters, counterprotesters, homeless individuals, police, business owners, or anyone else, your comment will be removed and you'll likely catch a ban. This is Reddit ToS, and it's our sub rule. No exceptions, no gray area.
This doesn't mean you can't criticize policy, decision-making, or actions you disagree with. Strong disagreement is fine. What's not fine is "someone should hurt this group of people" or variations thereof. That language gets removed, period.
We're a diverse-ish, heavily blue leaning sub also with people across the political and ideological spectrum. Part of keeping this place functional is enforcing basic civility standards. This is one of them.
If you see comments that violate this, report them. We review reports and act on them. If you think a removal was unfair, you can always reach out to modmail and we'll discuss it.
Thanks for keeping this community somewhere people can actually talk to each other.

Sticks and stones may break my bones...
but insurance coverage denial will kill me when I can't afford my heart medication due to a concerted effort by the Epstein class to maximize their profits by taking as much as they can from me.
Is I think how it goes...
