Nah it’s a white collar business crime / fraud for a first offender there’s no way he’s going to jail. On the other hand it makes the penalty phase of any conviction for the RICO case in Georgia a lot more serious

Edit - thanks for the reddit cares - nothing says “I’m a chicken shit trumper who can’t participate in a the dialogue outside /r/conservative safe space” than abusing reporting in this manner. It’s like a “special upvote”. Thanks!!!

Lol the "special upvote". I also got one after a Trump comment. These fragile snowflakes really have no other way to express themselves. I'm disappointed I only got the one special upvote so far.

You guys are late to the party. The "special upvote" has been going on everywhere since last night for any comment about anything. Has nothing to do with politics as far as I can tell. Just somebody fucking with reddit on a massive scale.

Interesting didn’t realize that. You’d think they would just disable the feature already.

It's only hitting certain subreddits, apparently. I haven't gotten any from multiple comments in r/baseball but got one almost immediately after commenting in r/politics.

I got my first two from r/nottheonion and r/drugs. Figured it was everywhere.

That may be why they did it the way they did. Reddit can't very well disable the feature for sending somebody a message if you're concerned for their safety.
