A Reddit spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous citing safety concerns, says that manifestos related to violent acts have “long violated our Content Policy” but that “discussion is allowed as long as it doesn’t violate other aspects of our violence policies (e.g., glorification, incitement).”

"You can discuss it, but we don't want you to read the thing you're discussing."

Someone should post the Declaration of Independence, see if that gets removed for being a "manifesto related to violent acts."

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.

Those poor, poor marginalized and vulnerable CEOs.

Seems like a textbook example of why federation is better than something owned by some rich assholes

Israeli politicians and pundits call for violence and genocide against defenseless civilians in Gaza and nobody bats an eye but one member of a tier of people that make enough money to hire their own private army gets capped, and everyone loses their mind.

If your job requires you to ruin people's lives or cause their untimely death, it is reasonable to assume that you would need private security. I hate to victim blame (not really) but it seems to me that it was UHC CEO's own fault that he got taken out by an amateur. I'd say do better next time but...

I guess spez is asking for the UHC treatment.

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

.world did too didn’t it?

Reddit also has policies against posting violence, but apparently it doesn’t count if you post Ukrainians or Israelis proudly showing off their slaughter.

Reddit allows violence, so long as it is in line with the status quo.

I confess I am surprised by the level of concern these fuckwits are displaying.

If nothing else comes from this, I hope a few conservatives/alt-right types have at least some of the veil lifted as they are constantly gaslit about what to think about this guy.

I think Reddit ToS has something about condoning or inciting violence which is being used to broadly in my opinion.

ok, so will someone post a link to it here, just for Streisand effect purposes?

Spez is scared. He has pissed off a bunch of people but he hasn't denied healthcare too them so he is just a reactionary coward.

But Reddit also seems to be inconsistently removing the manifesto, as we were able to find a link to the manifesto in Reddit search without much work. Reddit’s new AI-powered Answers tool also showed me information about the manifesto and where I could find it.

hehe

Talk about Streisand effect...

The words are upsetting their AI baby.

Yepp, they go hard even in smaller communities. Seems to be some automated system handing out warnings and bans left and right.

Slightly off topic, but yesterday at the top of my Lemmy feed there was a screenshot of a slack channel where (supposedly nyt journalists) were discussing either posting his writings or images of his face.

I went back to look for it and can't find it. Anybody know where I can find it?

Fuck Reddit!
