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.
