    A Reddit spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous citing safety concerns, says that manifestos related to violent acts have “long violated our Content Policy” but that “discussion is allowed as long as it doesn’t violate other aspects of our violence policies (e.g., glorification, incitement).”

    “You can discuss it, but we don’t want you to read the thing you’re discussing.”

    Someone should post the Declaration of Independence, see if that gets removed for being a “manifesto related to violent acts.”

    Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.

    Those poor, poor marginalized and vulnerable CEOs.

      But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

      Yep, definitely inciting violence.

      Will it matter if people just go watch a Netflix show where the good guys win & feel better?

      It’s simpler, they just don’t want to moderate the discussion. Reddit mods are shit a best.

        This edict doesn’t come from mods, it comes from admins.
