I’ve seen a lot more pro violence posts and comments lately, which is pretty off putting. I’ve not posted several times because I don’t want to end up on a list because of some echo chambers of maladjusted people. I don’t comment that often to begin with, and lemme/piefed seems to attract people banned from other platforms and other weirdos. Just not a very welcoming platform.
I’ve seen a lot of violence posts coming from non us users. It seems there’s some kind of effort to incite the us into violence going on and I don’t like it one bit.

I don’t see much if any content promoting violence myself but if I was I would agree with you. I also don’t post any, and was not banned from anywhere: I left reddit the moment I realized I disagreed with their policy.
So, if I may ask: have you tried using the settings to decide what’s (not) displayed in your home feed, coupled with keywords and blocking the most obvious trolls, those are fine tools to remove most if not all of that… sad content.
For example, on my home feed I only display ‘Subscribed’ content meaning that the only content I read comes from those communities I’m already subscribed to… none of which promoting any violence or, when this happens or when I realize some community is not what I expected it to be I just unsubscribe from it and I don’t have to read it ever again. Also, I don’t hesitate to block people the moment I realize they’re to trigger emotions and provoke, not to discuss.

Maybe, just maybe there’s some kind of reason why people from other countries hate the US more, recently?
Same. It was chill then suddenly about the last few weeks there is a lot of animosity on average posts.
There’s suddenly a lot more extreme views. Almost like ganging up to make people shrink or censor.
And finally a spike of relationship drama posts. They feel fake and fishy. Maybe bots.
Yeah, whoever is posting this pro violence content should get punched in the face

Edit: clarifications.
