THIS MIGHT NOT BE AS SIMPLE AS IT LOOKS

We might be before a new "reddit psyop" case here!

On the right pane at https://de.catbox.moe/1jl4is.png, reddit user u/_TheEastIsRed_, who is also a mod of r/kke, a sub for the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), says "you got your first warning from reddit". How does he know how many warnings a user has received?

According to his profile, he has been on reddit for one month:

The same user repeatedely posts threats of violence, claiming he will execute all his political opponents who are "fascists" or "antisemites". He also clarifies that "fascists" are those who don't belong to the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). This is clearly seen here:

When this post is reported to reddit admins, their response is that it was examined and wasn't found to violate their policy!

Coincidentally, user u/_TheEastIsRed_ immediately deletes the specific post that got reported:

https://files.catbox.moe/6mv1qx.png and https://www.reddit.com/r/AltGreece/comments/jb1kyp/comment/g944u69

He has also posted a tirade glorifying violence and explicitely expressing his intention to massacre "all remaining fascists in the cruelest and most torturing way possible" which can be seen here:

Plenty of his posts contain similar threats, open calls to violence and murder!

Yet the only one he got into the trouble to delete was the one reported to reddit admins, who found that it doesn't violate any reddit policy!

TLDR: A new user who mods a sub for the communist party knows about another user's account details. He also posts graphic details about torturing and killing "all fascists". Reddit admins find nothing wrong with that and he selectively deletes the very one post that got reported. Isn't that strange?

I'm pretty sure that wanting to kill "facists" (most of which aren't either facist or antisemitic) makes you the facist.

What's their goal, in your opinion, with this account?

A new account is used to promote violence and spread militant propaganda and at the same time provoke other users and communities. If they are agitated and reply, they get banned. If they don't fall for that, they get banned under another pretext at some point.

That very user also posts in various English-speaking subs, using similar incendiary rhetoric. I don't believe he would do that freely without someone noticing, his posts are ISIS level threats. So perhaps we are witnesses to some entity trying to start a bloodshed. I really hope public awareness will stop them.

Though this is a special case, the use of agitators happens on many "country subs". Here is an expose and a paste link for another country sub on reddit.

Troll farms are not unusual and many political parties and organizations or even countries have been exposed for using them. In Greece, it was revealed that professional trolls employed by a major party were paid 60 european cents for each post on twitter. In one case, they were caught using mugshots from US for their accounts.

I agree with you, it really does seem like this is what they're doing. Reddit truly is the Cesspool of the Internet.
