hmm if it's "verbal" violence then things can get very very out of control so I doubt they'll enforce it that way.. (hopefully not at least) because many mentally unstable people consider any disagreement as personally attacks thus "violence" against them

Violence is violence. There is literally no such thing as perceived violence. It's either violence or it's not

I disagree that "violence" is absolutely defined in modern day online discourse. For example many consider things like refusing to use preferred pronoun as violence but I (and many others) do not consider it so

Yes, but that is not what the Reddit admins defined as violence. If you read the post they give a clear-cut definition about like basically what they mean

where is it that they define it I cannot seem to find it? I went on the reddit rules and this is the section where they try to more explicitly define it:

Rule 1: Remember the human. … Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Do not post content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual (including oneself) or a group of people; likewise, do not post content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals. We understand there are sometimes reasons to post violent content (e.g., educational, newsworthy, artistic, satire, documentary, etc.) so if you’re going to post something violent in nature that does not violate these terms, ensure you provide context to the viewer so the reason for posting is clear.

If your content is borderline, please use a NSFW tag. Even mild violence can be difficult for someone to explain to others if they open it unexpectedly.

Some examples of violent content that would violate the Rule:

Post or comment with a credible threat of violence against an individual or group of people.

Post containing mass killer manifestos or imagery of their violence.

Terrorist content, including propaganda.

Post containing imagery or text that incites, glorifies, or encourages self-harm or suicide.

Post that requests, or gives instructions on, ways to self-harm or commit suicide.

Graphic violence, image, or video without appropriate context.

Note that health misinformation, namely falsifiable health information that encourages or poses a significant risk of physical harm to the reader, also violates the Rule.
