Why stop there? If I where reddit and we go with these kinds of decisions, I'd propose the use of LLMs to ban anything that consititutes negative statement including disagreements.

So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?
Came to the comments to find this question lol
It’s getting harder not to hate these people
The enshittification continues.
All because of greed.
I don't think this is about greed... this about owners not liking how plebs feel about a dead CEO
Which is because of greed.
They already own pretty much anything but this point it is about power imho
They want to control how we speak about them in public.
Couldn’t agree more. And they want that control because of greed.
Hey look, the cancer is dying of itself..
I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits
With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn't be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It's a bit over sensitive but we've all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.

Does it flag "Notmario"?
I’m actually so happy to see the start of the fall of Reddit. It’s been going on for a couple years or so, but it is happening.
It's so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol
It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.

It just shows how scared the elites are of all the people they screwed over.

Innocent until proven guilty.
Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
Allegedly.
That’s wild. I joined Reddit when everyone left digg, so 2008ish. There used to be a sub called /r/suicidewatch where you could post those kinds of thoughts safely. There can obviously be some issues with that but what a change
The fact that I can read this comment, makes this site a million times better.
Are you in a better place now?
Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a "if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort" sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence... against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.
Luigi is a hero.
See how easy that is when you aren't given the table scraps of the rich?

A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter
What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?
You give it to whoever asks for it or you never get another source again.

Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what's happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc...
Are you seriously suggesting there is no way to grant whistleblowers anonymity without granting it to corporate spokespeople providing statements on behalf of the company? You’re a fucking idiot

So, are subs like /r/Mario and /r/Nintendo going to be banned for "encouraging violence"?
