Over the last few days, we've seen an increase in content in several communities that violate Reddit Rules. Reddit communities are places for civil discussion and are one of the few places online where people can exchange ideas and perspectives. We want to ensure that they continue to be a place for healthy debate no matter the topic. Debate and dissent are welcome on Redditβthreats and doxing are not.
When we identify communities experiencing an increase in rule-violating content, we are taking the following steps as needed:
Reaching out to moderators to ensure they have the support they need, including turning on safety cowtools, reminding mods of our rules, or offering additional moderation support
Adding a popup to remind users before visiting that subreddit of Reddit's Rules
In some cases, placing a temporary ban on the community for 72 hours to enable us to engage with moderation teams and review and remove violating content
Currently /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is under a temporary ban. This means that you will not be able to access this community during this cooling-off period while we work with the mods to ensure it is a safe place for discussion.
We will continue to monitor and reach out to communities experiencing a surge in violative content and will take the necessary actions noted above to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation.

Since WPT doesn't resemble organic content, I'm hoping the law gets involved so they can find out who made the comments, and it turns out they're all bots or from some agency trying to rile people up
Reddit has someone got away with years of incredibly obvious astroturfing without getting properly exposed
