- Reddit has begun issuing warnings to users to regularly upvote violent content with a view to taking harsher action in future.
- The company says that it will consider expanding this action to other forms of content in future.
- Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.

Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.
They don’t even serve shareholders, they serve the money they will give them if profits increase short-term.
Can’t have anyone taking about the abuses going on, it makes Glorious Leader look bad.
As always, fuck reddit.
If you are still on Reddit, that is pathetic. The API pricing was the reason to leave.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
You’ll eat your new reddit and train any AI models that we decide to feed your data to and you’ll enjoy it. Reddits clients are probably passed that all their models end up turning into incels.
Reddit’s moderation policies are already too crazy and moderators are already abusing whatever they want. I don’t expect anything to become significantly worse.
This is different. Admins have access to much more of your data and can issue site wide bans.
They are trying so hard to stop the civil war they are creating.
Just one side
The Digg alternative was fine with td
There are still human users over on reddit? This must change. More punishment on reddit please!
Delusional. There’s like 100 users on Lemmy. Reddit has grown its userbase this year.
I think it’s a joke about dead internet theory, rather than userbase size
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
The joke comes from an increase in bot use on Reddit, and the subsequent false positive / false negatives in trying to figure out which ones are bots
Lemmy has that problem too, but it’s much smaller in scope. Mostly because there’s less of a reason to try and control the narrative on this smaller platform, but also because the goals are different. Lemmy instances get no benefit from a bunch of fake engagement, and public upvotes makes it easier to catch manipulation
Most users on Lemmy are Delusional. especially here in /c/Technology – turns out, this community isn’t for technology at all, but rather for bitching about silicon valley companies.
!tech@programming.dev is decent if you’re looking for the more technological side, since the rules filter out
- Minor app updates
- Government legislation
- Company news
- Opinion pieces
Hell yeah, thanks for the suggestion!
Technobitching in the valley. You just prefer boring conference-tier activities with slideshows, mumbling and occasional pafos hand clapping.
Is it exactly like reddit technology sub
We literally are Redditor’s, remember? We are the original Reddit, for better or worse
fucking normienet. why not punish users for overthrowing democracy and spreading misinformation , being bigoted and everything else that got us in this mess?
Because that generates 🌟ad revenue🌟 😍😍
The amount of censorship taking place on that platform every day lately is kind of staggering.
What if i think «guillotine » is the most beautiful word of 2025? I know some would argue Luigi should be first here, but i stand by my conviction.
Users are concerned that this moderation tactic could be abused or just improperly implemented.
This is the key bit. It’s good to try and make safer online spaces. But Reddit’s automated moderation has been bad for a while, and this might get more users caught up in false positives
I’ve seen comments tagged as abusive regardless of the context:
- someone quoting a news article
- someone making a hyperbolic joke (especially in gen-Z subs)
- actual abuse
For well moderated subs, the vast majority of those reports became false positives over time. For the mod queue, this didn’t affect the end user since mods can dismiss the false positives. But automated ‘scores’ won’t account for that.
We’re going to see even more annoying algospeak like “unalive”, only it’s going to be in news quotes as well
Shit site full of mentally handicapped pedos is shit, who’d have guessed?
Reddit … punish users…
Newest news!
Hegemonic violence, state violence, capitalist violence…
These will continue to not be acknowledged as violence.
