Reddit sets the threshold for violent content really low. At one point someone asked if a prisoner who is medically revived from the dead has served their life sentence, I answered that you have to be irrevocably dead, and admins said that promoted or glorified violence. I made no mention of violence whatsoever, nothing I said encouraged violence in any way, and somehow even on appeal they didn’t realize how ridiculous that was.
That's because no human is actually reviewing anything on Reddit. It's all keywords and AI, and they didn't care how often it gets it wrong as long as they don't get negative coverage in the news.
It's also the AI issuing most of these bans too. Reddit is already a laughing stock once a msm reports it
