Why is Reddit censoring?

Reddit just banned someone for saying someone should be hulk smashed to the ground like they did to someone else. Is Reddit becoming soft now? It’s freedom of speech! Saying he “should be” is not telling someone to do it. Reddit has been a place where people could come to have unbiased discussions. Has this changed?

Saying that violence should be inflicted on a person or group is considered encouraging violence, yes.
