They haven't broken any "rules" yet. And reddit can't be too heavy handed with that or else they risk the Streisand effect as well as just general user loss.

In my circles reddit has essentially become a synonym for retard and is considered only useful for a laugh at the crazies or trolling. I suspect a good portion of the content that hits the main subs is fictional now.

Once TiA got banned I never returned to Reddit. The teacher sub I used to frequent became full of teachers who were “queer” and “autistic” and had “adhd”, and talked about it endlessly (that and whether they could wear X to school and get away with it, and then there were the ones admitting to committing some serious faux pas and acting like you killed their cat when you pointed out their mistake and told them the steps to correct it, serious child safeguarding errors at times).

Most of reddit went that way for me. It's largely just people whining about bullshit.

Used to have some fun giving the common sense answer to people's questions and laugh at them getting offended but reddit really cracked down hard on that. It's like "Help my wife is mad at me because I told her to eat shit how can I convince her I'm right." Like dude just don't tell your wife to eat shit you idiot, easy.
