Reddit stakeholders are afraid of Luigi Mangione

replies:
Well there was the shift a couple years ago with Reddit seeking to dramatically increase ad revenue, so they banned the use of third party clients to force users through their monetization racket.
Along with that, they clamped down on the API preventing search engines or other applications from indexing data unless they paid reddit for it, ontop of selling user data to AI companies regardless of what the community thinks of that practice. (afaik, there's no opt-out either)
And now, they've made a pretty big pivot in cracking down on free speach; banning users for so much as liking a comment that contains the word 'Luigi' (even if obviously video game related and nothing to do with politics).

They started enforcing a new policy that will warn, or even perma ban you, for simply up voting content they deem as being against their rules. As well as removing anti-1% sentiments like "eat the rich" or even "Luigi;" even in the context of talking about the Nintendo character.

The users that aren't bots or nazis are leaving.
In my case, I wanted to get away from US American closed source social media controlled by US companies which ultimately are controlled by Trump and his narrative. Am German. We’re mad as hell.
replies:
“Eat the rich” is specifically cited as a violent and violence encouraging statement, bannable.
Upvotes of such statements will also be given bans.
replies:
You have been permanently banned for asking.
