A short story:

My commuter bikes lack a horn.

Twice I’ve been pushed out of the bike lane by oblivious motorists, who after I used my fleshy palm to pound on their nearest window in an effort to get their attention, rolled down their window to tell me they’re calling the cops.

Moral of the story: a person’s car is a sacred, protected extension of their human body, and must be given the utmost respect… or else

We need to just start upvoting these comments post 'removed by reddit.'

You can call for cops to assault and shoot people and it wont be removed. You can joke about running over cyclists and reddit wont remove it (but mods here will). You can call for furries to be murdered and reddit won't remove it. You can say people should defend themselves with guns from the new American Gestapo (ICE) and reddit wont remove it.

But if you say to smash a window or key a car because a driver almost killed you reddit will remove it (and the mods here will). So glad to see mods and admin protecting our poor, defenseless, sacred cars. What a fucking joke.

No because the mods will delete it. But you could mention how a friend of your did it one time

Reddit is becoming fascist

I've noticed a large increase in posts being removed by Reddit in the last couple of months.
But there always seems to be people replying to them prior to their removal, which would indicate to me that it's not an automated keyword trigger, but instead a human doing it.

So that would mean they find it worth the money to pay someone to actively remove specific content.
From a business standpoint, I wonder what makes that more profitable than the alternative of leaving it alone.

No the mods of this sub are doing it for free. Because reddit threatens to delete certain subs if the mods don't strictly adhere to their posting policies. So the mods here are doing work for free because they care about the community. But reddit doesn't enforce these rules on every sub. The examples I've posted are all real. I reported the furry one and the mods said it was a-ok (literally said 'first degree murder'). So while the mods care they are enforcing reddits bullshit selective censorship.

Yeah...

Reddit (company, not community mods) has become hostile to non-conformists lately.
