Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
A mod from r/popculture was raising alarms about posts regarding Luigi Mangione getting people banned. Apparently, the mod in question was reinstating posts calling for violence and other reasons against TOS, posts which admins had removed, leading to them getting suspended. This isn't to say that reddit admins are without fault or definitely not targeting discussions about Luigi, though I just thought it was funny that this particular person was lying for no reason and got caught.
In broad terms, yes Reddit is targeting conversations about Luigi. they have a lot of pressure from advertisers, institutional investors, as well as Peter Thiel backed research groups that have the ear of the president. Splitting hairs about this sounds a little like bootlicking to me.
Him reinstating posts that he believes the admins are blocking without actual reason does not mean that the admins had a legitimate reason to block them in the first place. You can argue that the admins blocking him was a forgone conclusion but accusing him of lying is a bridge too far.
