Do you feel worried that organizing a sensitive post on Redait can make you in trouble? Now, perhaps.
The Reddit user base grows rapidly as it is welcomed as one of the last “social” places online. However, with growth the fluctuation comes, Reddit is now formatting users who interact with the content that violates the site rules.
In a publication on Wednesday, website officials said that Reddit users who vote “several parts of the prohibited content to violate our policies” in a short period will get a warning. Redait said that he had changed because the site relies on “participating users” To vote bad content and report violation content.
The publication says: “The bad content overlaps or violates this system.”
The company says this policy is currently limited to a warning, but it is considering “adding additional procedures on the road.”
“The vote comes with responsibility,” says Post. “This will not have any effect on the vast majority of users, as most of them are voting or reporting already abusive content.”
A Reddit user said at a publication on Friday that Reddit’s description of “violent content” in the new policy seemed very wide.
“What if you do not like a fictional character from a TV program or a video game and I want to express it in an excess way?” Reading reading. “Now we have to dance about what we say and be madly, we will prohibit?
Reddit has extensive rules of violent content. However, the site’s policy says that users can spread violent content if it is “educational and worthy of ingenuity, artistic, documentary, etc.”
Last month, Reddit closed the famous community R/Whitepepletwitter after many users made threatening comments against Elon Musk and the Ministry of Government efficiency.
Tensions have grown between Reddit and Musk users in January after the supervisors moved to more than 100 branches to ban links to X after Musk’s speech at President Donald Trump’s opening, where some of the interpretation of some presented as a fascist greeting.
At the time of the temporary ban, Redit Bi told that she wanted to use her societies in “civil discussion” and “one of the few places via the Internet where people can exchange ideas and views.”
“We want to ensure that they continue to be a place for health discussion, regardless of the topic,” the company said in a statement. “The discussion and the opposition are welcome in Radit – threats and duxe is not.”
However, the moderation system in the Reddit content was not without defects. The Reddit supervisors said this week that the system attaches the name “Luigi” to violent content, even when it is used in non -violent contexts. On Thursday, supervisors of the famous SubRe -Popculture said they were forced to stop the forum due to the control of the Reddit system in a publication.
Reddit did not immediately respond to a request to comment from Business Insider about the moderate content system. A company spokesman told The Verge that Reddit does not have a “Sitewide candidate for” Luigi “or expects users to stop talking about Luigi Mangione”, according to the port.
Luigi Mangione, 26, is suspected of Ivy-Legue, who is accused of shooting and killing the CEO of United Healthcare Brian Thompson in December 2024.
Reddit Verge told R/Popculture recently fell to only one supervisor, allowing Subreddit to filter words that are likely to be automatically sensitive. Society Supervisor BI told that they did not make a list of sensitive words, and they said they believed that Reddit content is inconsistent.
The supervisor said: “I reported a lot of comments on the people who call me or other people on the F-SLUR, and Reddit told me that he does not violate their policies, but the saying” Luigi “does,” the supervisor said.
One of the founders of Reddit Cofter Alexis OHANIAL, who left the company in 2020, said last week that he believed that the future of social media will be supervised by artificial intelligence, where users have “skiing” “choosing the level of tolerance” on some topics.
