- 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.
Like hate speech(, e.g. against Israel/Ukraine/…, or in favor of Palestine/Russia/Iran/…, debunking/denying the uyghur/bosnian/… “genocide”, etc.)
Ah, lemmygrad.ml; you’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
As long as you don’t censor us, which a decentralized Lemmy can’t do in comparison to Reddit.
The government is way more worrying though.
Hard to imagine that it was only a few years ago(, before E.Musk bought Twitter,) that we were denying the influence of governments on social media censorship, and said that “private companies aren’t censoring, because they’re not the government, if you don’t like this platform just change/leave”. It has changed and now we’ve quickly accepted that states should enforce (more )laws all over the/our internet. And many don’t see that our fact-checking is unilaterally biased, etc.
Someone from programming.dev may have heard of the declaration of the independence of cyberspace , among others.
