Cut and paste from Reddit: hate everything about this, and I guess it's time to make some active plans for bailing on this place before y'all go Full Facebook. This policy is never going to lead to anything but more casual repression of dissent. Right now we're moving into a political era where some level of direct, even illegal action might end up being the best and most moral thing for society. Thus, I really do not want you money-motivated bastards to be the ones making the decisions about borderline cases of free speech. Plus, other commenters have had some real good points about the common ambiguity of whether an upvote approves of the content, or just the fact it's being brought to light. See, for instance, all of AITA. And what about issues of satire and sarcasm? If you automate any part of this process at all, and I just know you zany goofs will, you will punish thousands of users because you failed to detect the lack of serious intent behind a statement like, oh, "Oy, the mods should only go drown in a bucket!" which clearly imparts zero serious threat that I'm going to go anywhere near you with a bucket (and falsely implies I am an old Jewish man), nor would cause you non-ego-based harm under any circumstance, no matter how legitimately pissed I am at you all. I trusted Youtube to handle these issues responsibly, and now the fuckers make me want to "unalive them from a window, metaphorically, in Minecraft" over and over again, because what the fuck are you doing to our free expression? Can't you people remember the old Web at all?! You're going to throw much baby out with this bathwater and you barely seem to care. I'm about done. I'm not leaving Reddit just yet, but I'm done behaving myself here. Banning people for upvotes is absolute derangement. Causing trouble for Reddit's admins and owners is starting to feel like a moral imperative. It's my job now to feed you knuckleheads as many borderline cases, for you to publicly screw up on, as possible.…
Reddit is proposing bans for just *upvoting* forbidden content now.
I want to unalive them with a pointed h*rming device and dispense yellow water on their unmoving person-meat box. 🤬
My reply attached.
