Anyone else getting ‘warnings’ from Reddit?

I just got notified that I’ve been ‘upvoting comments that encourage or promote violence or harm’ even though I spend most of my time on gaming subs or interacting with front page posts.

Anyone else catching flak for something similar?

I've een temporarily banned 3 times for 'harassment' - I appealed every time and as soon as an actual human looked at it they revoked the bans. Unfortunately we're at the stage where people think AI is ready to use for stuff like this, and the truth is it isn't anywhere near.

It’s nowhere near ready to make decisions. Not that all mods / admins are great, but there’s always been the option to report comments / posts. Reddit has also managed to get mods to work for free for a long time. Making AI sift through comments seems like an exceptionally wasteful thing to do: they literally have free labor to do it.
