In case you're wondering what's considered "violent content" on Reddit and how far they'll push this definition, calling the top 10 breakdown of healthcare CEOs "Luigi's List" counts.

I left Reddit because they killed 3rd party apps. Since that day, they've only gone on to butcher the platform even further.

Joining Lemmy was a damn good decision.

What is a tankie?

Context:

Reddit will now issue warnings to users who “upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies” within “a certain timeframe,” starting first with violent content, the company announced on Wednesday.

“This will have no impact on the vast majority of users as most already downvote or report abusive content,” a Reddit employee says in the announcement post. In comments on the post, a user expressed concern that the new policy could make people “paranoid about voting,” but the employee says that “this would be an unacceptable side effect, which is why we want to monitor this closely and ramp it up thoughtfully.”

If it violates policies, remove it and move on. This is weird.

“We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide,” according to the main post. Reddit “may consider” expanding the warnings in the future to cover repeated upvotes of other kinds of actions as well as taking other types of actions in addition to warnings.

Now that there is Thoughtcrime territory.

The exact wording seems to be "banned content", which includes a lot more than just violence (is violence banned in the first place, considering subs like r/PublicFreakout?).
