News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There were a lot of highly upvoted actual death threads on the sub. I hate Elon Musk as much as anyone on this websites but if you have a bunch of posts with thousands of upvotes calling for mass murder, it's obvious what's going to happen.
How is one guy a mass murder?
How is "pink mist them all" refering to one guy?
Where in the screenshot does it say that?
The entire reason that subreddit was closed was due to the post that hit the frontpage with more than 15k upvotes about two days ago and the comments in the thread. Claiming that it was banned for no reason or simply because Musk wished for it is either in bad faith or straight up lying. I saw that thread being made and it was obviously violating Reddit ToS (and the actual law) so hard it should've been instantly deleted. Yet it wasn't.
Sounds like something to address with individuals through moderation, and maybe a site ban for individuals depending on TOS details, not the entire sub.
Banning the entire sub, then, comes across as something else entirely.
So I can't say I'd agree with you.
Seems like you've slightly overcounted those upvotes lol
A handful of comments with less than 50 up votes, what a fucking threat.
It also seems like they are more or less talking about the 6 or so Hitler Youth Musknhas working for him too.
So while it would be advocating murder, I am not so sure about the "Mass" part.
Oh, that's fine then, my bad!
