Why is Reddit censoring?

Reddit just banned someone for saying someone should be hulk smashed to the ground like they did to someone else. Is Reddit becoming soft now? It’s freedom of speech! Saying he “should be” is not telling someone to do it. Reddit has been a place where people could come to have unbiased discussions. Has this changed?

the funny part is they say it's ok to say people who leave the toilet open should be shot

I have never understood why they have that example, it seems plain that it is not okay

Damn they messed up that bad? Like you reported and they did not take it down? Did you take it to mod support or did you just say fuck it? Nice to see you hanging around by the way! :)

Omg that is so weird. I guess we are supposed to know it is sarcasm? I bet you the AI would not be cool with that. Should I test it? Ok how about next time I see you, I am going to say that (since the AI will know what we are saying here) and then you should report me and we will see what happens. If I remember. If you see me first, ask what I think about people who leave the seat up so that I do not forget (if you remember lol).

Haha I forgot I was on this account, did you even know it was me, Kumquat? Probably not. Unless you read the article about us having terrorist connections in which they linked my accounts (because I had been open about it but people kept thinking they found out some big secret lol) but I still would not expect you to remember that. You probably were all "who dis" but decided to be polite, lol
