I went to Reddit today and in a subreddit, they were literally joking about firebombing someone and how it would be disappointing if someone did it.
Reddit is basically truth social 2.0 at this point
I've seen open calls for murder here too, with lots of upvotes and hours old
Outright hate speech as well, with plenty of upvotes.
Those people will get banned if they are in a subreddit where people will report it. It's pretty easy to get banned from reddit if you don't follow certain social conventions and beliefs.
Especially the social convention and belief of not firebombing other people. That one of pretty high on the list.
I got banned from a subreddit for being to aggressive when calling out people who were justifying and calling for fire bombing of churches.
I'm pretty sure that was also used against me when I got banned from the whole platform but I'll never know for sure.
