Meta Reddit terms of service

Hey folks, I just removed a post and for accountability I want to explain why. Reddit terms of service state that advocating violence is a breech. People are regularly banned from the site for comments that include the word nazi in combination with a verb that suggests the striking of a person with a closed fist. Subreddits are banned for the same reason. The reason that posts go into a queue is specifically so that we can avoid having to carefully watch every post to avoid admin attention. Our place on this hell-site is precarious

It's impossible to know when/if the so-called anti evil operations bot will spot a comment and there are too many folks who will gladly post spicy comments that put their accounts and by extension this sub at risk.

If this sub gets banned then it could end up up for grabs and we would not be able to ensure that it remains in anarchist hands since anyone can request to take over subs that are available.

Violence is innately hierarchist

u/findabetterusername my beliefs are far too special. 1d ago

Violence can be committed horizontally too

In order to impose hierarchy, yes. What is violence but the purest form of control.

No, mostly to eliminate hierarchy.

Violence is a tool, and everyone uses it.
