Comment on Warning users that upvote violent content on Reddit

Comments

This comes alongside lots of people posting (elsewhere) screenshots of information about plans for explicitly non-violent, organized protests that they posted on Reddit, and the ban notice they got for those posts because they were “inciting violence” (apparently those notices include the “offending” post, idk, I’ve never been banned on Reddit probably because I barely use it)

They could be lying, photoshopping the screenshots or whatever, but there are a lot of them with similar stories.

So FYI you may get warned for upvoting posts about upcoming protests that are planning to follow the ACLU’s guide for legal peaceful protests, complete with that fact being stated in the post itself, if these are true.
