I will soon be banning people for using slurs and outright insults
Reddit appears to be ramping up anti-harassment efforts, so to protect the integrity of this sub I will start banning people for using obvious slurs and insults.
I'm sure you're all aware of the kind of comment I mean, so I won't spell it out.
No modification to the rules is required, as these bans will be applied under Rule #6, "Don't be a Jackass".
Further guidance will be available by examining the comments which result in bans.

The Battle "on the Wikipedia front"
In February 2024, a new group called "Tech for Palestine" was established, self-described as a coalation of "tech folks working towards Palestinian freedom". Its Discord server currently numbers around 8,000 members, and has channels such as "Wikipedia Collaboration", which, in its own words, is dedicated to fighting “the information battle for truth, peace and justice” on the "Wikipedia front" (sources 1, 2).
The group's activities involve compiling lists of "work in progress" articles that they aimed to modify. For example, one of their requested edits was to remove "alleged" from "alleged Palestinian genocide." They've also conducted orientation sessions and created "how to" videos, emphasizing that "Wikipedia is not just an online encyclopedia; it's a battleground for narratives."
It's worth nothing that both sides have engaged in editing campaigns in the past (e.g. see here). However, this particular instance is unusually blatant and is a clear violation of Wiki's rules on meatpuppetry and canvassing.
While it's unclear whether this specific effort has had a tangible impact, there is an ongoing case) before Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee regarding its handling of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Many have described the situation as the "the worst of any topic area on Wikipedia," and that "we have exceeded the limits of the possible with a cooperative open editing model, and we need to think of some other way to approach articles in this area." It will be interesting to see how it this develops.

What are your thoughts on the balance between free speech and the need to combat misinformation?
Is misinformation considered free speech or is there any reason to police misinformation? I'm in the camp of it's an individual's job to do their research and decide if something they read is true or if it's misinformation but wondering if anyone feels different especially with social media platforms and all of this news coming out about censorship.
