Reddit has temporarily banned two subreddits, r/WhitePeopleTwitter and r/IsElonDeadYet, for violating community guidelines by promoting violence and doxing. The platform is taking steps to ensure a safe environment for discussions and combat rule-breaking content.
Reddit has seen an increase in rule-breaking posts across “several communities,” and it has issued a temporary ban on one that featured users calling for violence against people who work for the Elon Musk -led Department of Government Efficiency . That community, r/WhitePeopleTwitter, was given a 72-hour ban on Tuesday, as reported by Engadget. Screenshots shared on X show multiple examples of the threatening posts.
Reddit also gave a full ban to a subreddit called r/IsElonDeadYet for violating rules “against posting violent content.” The unnamed admin said Reddit is taking steps “to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation” in a post on r/RedditSafety. “Reddit communities are places for civil discussion and are one of the few places online where people can exchange ideas and perspectives,” the Reddit admin account wrote.
