I’ve seen a lot more pro violence posts and comments lately, which is pretty off putting.

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.

Edit: clarifications.
