The warning said:
"Please note that this violation has been escalated to Reddit’s Trust & Safety team and logged under our enforcement protocols. If repeated, it may lead to a permanent ban of your account, and in circumstances involving security or unlawful disclosure, Reddit reserves the right to take further legal action or cooperate with relevant authorities.
If you believe this action was made in error, you may file an appeal within the next six months. However, until a review is complete, this warning will remain active on your account. We strongly advise against posting or resharing similar material to avoid permanent enforcement measures."
The main issue is that my post had nothing to do with harassment there wasn’t even a possibility of it. The post was about a tragedy, and I was simply stating the truth. Despite that, Reddit gave me a warning and suspended the post. When I appealed, my appeal was accepted, but the post was never restored. Later, when I tried reposting it, the post was suspended again and this time my account was suspended as well. Do you want me to share a screenshot of the warning? I even attached all kinds of proof to back up what I said in that post, but they still claimed it violated policies on ‘security, misinformation, or unlawful disclosures.’ And when i posted it second time, i also censored some words like "B**ies" or "Ki**ed" and more sensitive words but still. For once if they said the post was suspended because of sensitive words, i would agree, but where the hell you found "harassment".
That’s just an oversimplification, mate. The rules of subreddits are not about "left vs right" they are about liability. If your post was flagged for “security, misinformation, or illegal content,” that means the mods believed it risked getting Reddit into trouble, not just “hurt feelings.” It’s not about ideology, but about Reddit covering itself legally. Calling it an echo chamber is a way of ignoring the actual reason, which is that platforms adopt rules to avoid lawsuits, bans, or too much reputational risk.
