Not dystopian sounding at all:

    Please do not name this individual, at all. Doing so may result in your account being banned by the admins.

    Please do not ask further questions about this, as doing so may result in your account being banned by the admins.

    Please do not discuss this incident on Reddit publicly or privately (e.g. on private subreddits and/or in private messages, chat etc.), as doing so may result in your account being banned by the admins.
I fully understand and agree that the platform is privately owned, etc. etc., but this is getting strange(r) -- and quite normalized.

I don't get it - why are people angry with her over her father's actions?

She is not at fault for her fathers actions, but when she continues to surround herself with such people, including her husband, this may indicate a bad pattern of behavior

And these employees are deleting subreddits (e.g. gender critical), suppress media they don't like..it's really surprising reddit has not found attention the same way twitter or facebook have. Maybe because of their political leanings.

Identity politics has become a shield and weapon for bad behavior - how dare you question me you must be a bigot. Whoever can gain the public’s attention first controls the narrative.

Yes, it's absurd. I can say nasty things about you because of my Identity, which also shields me from anything you say in response/defense.

Someone was banned from Reddit for linking to an article dead naming a trans woman. Did I get this right? If I did, what's the problem here, really?

they have also been told that can't live-name her

also, she was the one who banned people for it (sketch)

also, I'm not sure that's why they were banned

It's not just that, they have banned any mention of her name. You literally cannot even type her name in private messages without the message at least getting deleted, if you aren't banned.
