Reddit has implemented and deployed a mass banning tool that will eventually ban you if you upvote content that is against their content policy. This tool is set up so it can ban ten-twenty thousand people at a time, with a single action. A Reddit administrator marking a popular post as a "content violation" will cause everyone who upvoted it to be banned. So if you decide to stay it's actually useful to check what you will get banned for. Spoiler: it can be almost anything. This policy changed significantly several months ago so many of you may not even know what the current policy is. Here are a few examples:
Remember that 'reasonable person' is not defined as YOU, a Trump supporter might understand it. It is defined as Reddit administrators understand what it means to be 'reasonable'. We don't know what that is but here is some helpful information: According to Wikipedia, Reddit is headquartered in San_Francisco which has under 10% GOP representation, if I understand the data right. Just be aware that their definition of 'reasonable' is not your own. If you upvote anything that falls into the above category you will also be banned.
>If you "bully" someone you will be banned.
"Bullying" as understood by Reddit admins apparently includes upvoting certain wrong thinking content, so if you upvote anything like that, you will be banned.
>If you 'shut someone out of the conversation through intimidation or abuse' you will be banned.
(Except if you shut potentially millions of Trump supporters out of the conversation, of course. Try posting at almost anywhere all over Reddit as a Trump supporter, and tell me how it goes.)
>"Directing unwanted invective at someone" - will get you banned.
Not sure invective is ever wanted but okay.
>"Directing abuse at a person or group" will get you banned.
Don't you ever think to say anything offensive about the Democrat party. It will be considered 'abuse' as Reddit administrators understand the term and you will be banned. Of course this includes upvoting content that is deemed 'abusive'.
P.S.: I'm not saying don't stay on Reddit. I'm still here too. But if you stay, understand what the rules are as of today, and not the ones you think you know from many years before. Those are gone and are never coming back, Reddit was a completely different place back then.
Banning people for upvoting is discouraging a reasonable person from participating on Reddit.
So if I was on r/politics and said Democrats are all clowns ! I would be banned in 2.5 seconds.
If I’m on The_Donsld and I say I’m voting for Trump because he cares about our 1st and 2nd amendments....... I could be banned in 1.2 seconds
The mods were reasonable people and look what happened to them.
We know their content policy, and known it better than any other sub. We're being persecuted for not conforming to the democrat regime. They'll never admit it, of course, because they know the moment they do they cease to be a platform.
Stop allowing people to view our profiles and past comments and we would not have all these problems on The_Donald.
So in other words since Reddit is shutting people out of the conversation, and behaving in ways that discourages reasonable people from participating on reddit... Reddit should be banned.
Jesus Christ...
The left can't help their desire to be authoritarian bullies. They don't have the self-awareness to see it for themselves.
