What's up with Reddit?

We have new members because of people fleeing, I'm seeing communities being archived, and just generally more than the regular Reddit being Reddit.

Has the end come in some way?

I’m the last person to ask. Reddit banned my email and devices after I posted that “If you have the opportunity to punch a Nazi, you should ALWAYS punch the Nazi.”

They basically showed how authoritarian they are by banning (and later unbanning) a bunch of porn and Elon Musk critical subreddits as well as some transgender and disability related ones.
- Yeah very weird glitch that all those things were grouped together.. so strange
  
  got the project_2025.exe virus
  
  Order 66: Project 2025 Edition, has launched too early
- Is white people Twitter still gone?

I deleted my 5-year-old account just now. I was suspended for 3 days because of a comment I made in a post about actual Nazis, in which I called them bitchmade pussies. Real Nazis, screaming the N-word and waving swastika flags. I was "bullying" them, reddit said. I still have the text of the offending comment here, if you think I said something crazy:

 
Shit, maybe it was that last line that irked them! Regardless, I took that as a sign that it was time to move on, permanently. This wasn't the first issue I've had with reddit of course, but it was the final straw.
- I was told talking like this is not "civil" which maybe it is not but if people can't express a mild opinion like this on a public fora for adults. I am not sure what sort of society reddit is shilling for here with these modding practices.
  Either way, fedi and decentralization is the answer to this corpo over reach.
  Deny the parasite engagement, by the time this is done it will bots selling shit to other bots on bot generated OP lol
- Hell yea brother fuck nazis. Fuck em all the way
- Welcome to mate, you made the right choice. We bash the fash together around here.
  
  Ideally while remaining more respectful of pussies perhaps, but that's a stylistic choice.

Several new accounts made direct targeted death threats at specific people working alongside Musk to destroy the US government. As this is not legal in the USA where the servers are Reddit axed the subs where this occurred. You can conclude for yourself why new accounts were doing this.
There were some NSFW subs that also got axed. Reddit has done this before and used the sane excuse of it being a bug. Again you can choose to decide if they are being honest about this but keep in mind Spez, the CEO, has repeatedly mentioned how difficult it is to legally manage NSFW material on the site and how investors hate it.
- Spez was an advocate and mod for a sub that supported child pedophiles a safe space tp discuss fucking kids. Look it up.
  
  Nuanced points of view have that problem.
- Do you have any sources about them being new accounts?
  
  No because those threads have been nuked. When you see accounts calling for the deaths of specific people you should click on them because they often are new. This is true for any forum.
- Several new accounts made direct targeted death threats at specific people working alongside Musk
  aka Musk paid some "PR" firm to do something threatening so they invoke the "law"
  Anyone who is attempting to make any direct threat against specific person online is either a useful idiot or a bad faith actor. The rules are pretty clear and this tactic is how discussions can get suppressed "legally"
  They did it with Luigi... and it is become clear this is a common tactic to suppress speech that the oligarchs don't like.
  With that being said, the spez that modded or commented on jailbait sub said that? lol

- Hey blaze I know you do good things for the fediverse, so take my question as genuine curiosity.
  Why are you just posting a community without context? Like, how does this answer OP's question?
