I was warned for reporting (what I view as) legitimate violations of subreddit rules and calls to violence by reddit themselves. I was conditioned to not report abuse.

Add in reddit actioning accounts for upvoting certain content, and it's easy to see that healthy participation on the website is severely chilled, in addition to the website generally being hostile to discourse.

Aaron Swartz is rolling in his grave, reddit is nothing like what it was founded on.

same here, apparently the politics sub will take it more harshely, what you view is legitmate may not what the mods see. it seems they dont like when you are reporting a comment you did not engage in
