I got this message today:

We’ve been alerted to activity on your account(s) that is considered breaking Reddit’s rules. We recently found that your (censored) account violated Rule 8 by repeatedly upvoting posts and/or comments that break Reddit’s rule against encouraging or glorifying violence or physical harm. While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, upvoting content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation. As a result, we’re issuing this warning and asking you to be thoughtful about any future content you upvote. Continued violations could result in a temporary or permanent ban. Please familiarize yourself with Reddit’s rules to make sure you understand the rules for participating on Reddit. This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.

I’m a very non-violent person, but I guess by upvoting comments that say “-F Trump” or “-F Musk” is breaking their rules. That’s such a huge red flag. Now I’m getting warnings about what probably most of the world is thinking? Great policy there, Reddit.

      I imagine banning / blocking people whose opinions they don’t like, creating an echo chamber?

        Yep. Like X. The fascist tech bros goal is to turn all of US tech into fascist state media.

      I imagine it’s a convenient way to weed out all those pesky people saying inconvenient things that investors don’t like
