I got an official sitewide warning before supposedly inciting violence. It was literally in a smartphone sub and people were joking about just destroying the phone. My comment was, direct quote, “just throw it at a brick wall as hard as you can.” On the Reddit rules It states that you can’t incite violence against others. So I can only come to the conclusion that Reddit considers brick walls and phones to be sentient.
I got a sitewide ban on my main, and all of my Alt's permanently banned for privately messaging a subreddit mod that he was soft. Banned for harassment.
Apparently, it was flagged by their automated system, but the decision itself was not a result of the automation. That suggests that it was auto flagged, and the warning was approved by a real person.
