What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Reddit is full of violent content that the admins and moderators overlook.
/r/combatfootage and /r/ukrainerussiareport/ are full people cracking jokes about violent deaths and advocating for violence.
It is telling that only certain kinds of violent content are banned.

- maeil 2y agoReddit doesn't give a single shit about violence. For the first time in decades, Luigi put a tiny bit of fear of god in the hearts of those in power, and they will have brought this up repeatedly in their exec group chats. With current US gov, it's not unlikely they'll have steered this too.

- david-gpu 2y agoWhile the comments are often dehumanizing, which I despise, the footage is invaluable for people who want a whiff of what (this) war is like. The chaos, the fog of war, the terror, the delivery of death being celebrated just as often as it is performed with casual detachment.
- xvector 2y agoThose subs are supposed to be for documenting combat, and that calls for violence aren't being removed is a further indictment of Reddit and its users. Why isn't Reddit held to the standard of Facebook or YouTube? It's long past time that it was.
