Reddit has a strict nonviolence in comments policy, whether it be in support of self defence, or defence of others. Exclusions apply to some extent in supporting state sanctioned police and military violence.
It’s not that strict. There was a thread full of people advocating the torture and murder of HP printer executives for their printer bullshit and nothing happened to any of them. I know because I was banned the day before for saying something similar about child molesters and kept an eye on that thread. I asked what the difference was in my appeal and just got their canned response that the ban was going to be upheld. Reddit admins care about specifically creating a safe space for child molesters… for some reason…
And then they turn around and host tons of fight subs showing video of people getting the tar beat out of them. If that’s what adults want to watch then more power to them but so much for the whole “no mentions of violence are allowed” rule.
they’re not OK with violence except this type of violence which is an overwhelming type of violence
But yeah fr fr they only reason they banned /thedickhead is because they started going after the cops. Extremely mask off considering all the other shit they said leading up to that point was way more violent but it was against people they didn’t like so it was permissible.

Yet they let the post about the break in and shooting be posted. You just can’t comment on what was in the post? How stupid Reddit has become.
