Reddit let trumps subreddit stay up for years, not to mention all the other vile and bigoted places
I do not put much faith in that reddit actually cares about homophobia
And calls for violence has always been selective. Has reddit ever banned anyone for supporting a state to kill people? For example, supporting death penalty, supporting cops shooting people, supporting Ukraine/Russia to kill Russians/Ukrainians, or supporting Israel killing Palestinians?
The whole subject of “calls for violence” has always been biased, because we see state actors being violent as justifiable, but non-state actors as not, so it’s not right to say they don’t support calls for violence, they only don’t support selective ones that they are not entirely clear about. They don’t support the people
It doesn’t matter what Reddit’s policy is when they outsource decision making to India where decisions seem to be taken without context or at random. It’s usually up to volunteer moderators to set the rules and tone for a community.
