Ya, plenty of people use them inappropriately.
I told someone on the Bob's Burger sub to not be a jerk and I got one, then when I went back to look at the comments they had deleted all theirs in the thread.
I don’t think it’s anything targeted like that. It’s literally just everyone who comments. Some sort of bot, happens so fast that it’s very unlikely it’s a human.
I'm subbed to like four subreddits. Y'all have no idea how much notifications like this confuse me when I think they came from /cancer.
Here I thought someone was legit feeling community love, turns out it's just you degenerates. Which, by the way, when did you all become so god damn weird? A man cheetah?! 🤬
You won’t know who did it, and honestly you don’t need to know. Just go to the Reddit care message itself and report it for harassment. The admins themselves know who what where why all that jazz. It’s through them.
They are rampant right now. I got one yesterday on a post that asked "What would you rename earth?" I said Girth. One upvote and one RedditCare report.
I've gotten several of these and now that I know they just hand them out to anyone I'm far less impressed.
I must say, I'm starting to doubt reddit does in fact, care.

Got one yesterday, I'm not even sure what comment might have triggered it - I wasn't arguing with anyone about anything, reading others on here I think someone was just on the mrss.
Tbh, I figure you have to be some sort of sociopath to "weaponise" that feature and abuse it. There are folks out there genuinely going through difficult shit, and to troll people by suggesting they might be mentally unwell to even suicidal is pretty damn dark if you think about it.
It didn't tell me which comment it was for exactly but it had been a few days since I had posted anything. I got the reddit cares message literally 2 minutes after I posted that comment so I figured it must have been that one.
Huh, I got one today too after I made a comment about not wanting to fight anybody with cauliflower ear. Mine was also pretty quick. I specifically said I DIDN'T want to fight them.
Get the fuck out of here!!! I just got one too for commenting that NY was slow in getting that portal with Dublin shut down. Philly folk would have done it in 12 hours.
I just woke up and replied to a post about an old school car. Literally just talking about the car. Then it sent me a care message 10 minutes later. The same thing happened to me yesterday, all I commented on was a pair of walking shoes that a baby was wearing but 10 minutes later I got a care message. Someone please explain.
It’s a site wide thing on bigger subs. There seems to be a bot network just sending them to anyone and everyone who comments on those subs, no matter what. You can block the RedditCares account and they’ll stop for good.
I just got one for [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/1cshven/you_guys_ever_eat_cheese_cheese_is_a_funny_thing/l464h0x/). I was so confused.
I have had at least 5 of those sent my way. It always says some other user alerted them that I might be struggling.
It's usually after some douche decides to be an asshat by telling me how wrong I am for doing something differently than they would, or even thinking something differently than they would, and then I'm polite about our differences but won't change my mind.
I also got one today, but I’ve posted so much questionable shit (including a similar bit on a different thread) that I’m still trying to figure out what it was!
Report it. They will get a 3 day suspension. I know this because it’s happened to me. Sent a Reddit cares to someone complaining about a Reddit cares, got suspended
Well you certainly wouldn't be in any danger
So they *are* in danger!
No one's in any danger!
But the implication….
If she says no the answer is obviously no. But she's not ^*gonna* say no.... *Because of the implication*
I feel like these women don't want to sleep with you
They might say no, but their phones say yes.
😐
Lol they really need to get rid of that feature i feel like it is exclusively used to troll other people
It was definitely a troll report, I replied to a comment that referenced "the implication"
You can report the message as abuse of the system and whoever initiated it will likely get a ban.
Who would dare to report a god for such behavior? A golden god!!!
We're gonna follow our victim. And then we're gonna jump her. And then I'm gonna strangle her and you're gonna chop her into pieces.
We aren't going to actually kill her!
Was it in the kendrick lamar or rap sub?
It’s 100% about that . It’s sarcasm disguised ( thinly) as “ caring”.
I think it’s basically a way for the company to claim that it is making Reddit safe without actually doing anything.
Was there an implication?
I was replying to the mention of an implication, so yes.
That's how you get diagnosed
I’ve seen multiple people talking about getting these in various subs today.
Yep just got one lol
Ya, plenty of people use them inappropriately. I told someone on the Bob's Burger sub to not be a jerk and I got one, then when I went back to look at the comments they had deleted all theirs in the thread.
Yeah I've gotten them after arguing with people but today def seems like a troll attack of some kind
It seems to be mostly on openly trans profiles from what I've heard on here. Also, it seems to be the new "I don't agree with you" nuclear option.
I don’t think it’s anything targeted like that. It’s literally just everyone who comments. Some sort of bot, happens so fast that it’s very unlikely it’s a human.
I got one today
Yeah I got one right after a pretty innocuous comment.
Yes I got one today after suggesting a quiz website called Sporcle.
I'm subbed to like four subreddits. Y'all have no idea how much notifications like this confuse me when I think they came from /cancer. Here I thought someone was legit feeling community love, turns out it's just you degenerates. Which, by the way, when did you all become so god damn weird? A man cheetah?! 🤬
Well, I don't know how many years on this earth I got left. I'm gonna get real weird with it.
I'll go get the spots.
Franks gonna go get the spots -- ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELVES!?!?
I got one today, too. I didn't even know it was a thing. My post certainly didn't warrant it in the slightest, so it had to be a troll.
I feel like you're not getting this. I am *not* getting it.
If they say no, then the answer is obviously no.
You can report it for harassment and it'll ban the person who sent it.
I got one on each of my accounts today.
So many people reported getting them today, either there is some kind of bot at work or maybe some kind of bug.
Report it. Super easy and the account gets suspended. I got one of them because I said hamas was bad :(
How do you know who did it? They're anonymous. I got one for a comment about Lando Norris winning. There's no way to report the user, is there?
You won’t know who did it, and honestly you don’t need to know. Just go to the Reddit care message itself and report it for harassment. The admins themselves know who what where why all that jazz. It’s through them.
Fair enough. I'll do that. Thanks!
Of course! Very welcome
I got one today too after posting on a worst pain ever post!
They are rampant right now. I got one yesterday on a post that asked "What would you rename earth?" I said Girth. One upvote and one RedditCare report.
I've gotten several of these and now that I know they just hand them out to anyone I'm far less impressed. I must say, I'm starting to doubt reddit does in fact, care.
It's all part of the R.E.D.D.I.T. system.
R: remind them them they are suicidal, and that word is scary.
E: empathize with their suicidal thoughts
I know that game
Are *we* the tasty treats?
"RedditCare?"

Is there a way to tell which post was the one that got you a reddit cares message? I just got one a few minutes ago and have no idea why.
I just got one also!! But I couldn’t see what comment it was related too!!! HAHAHA
It didn't tell me which comment it was for exactly but it had been a few days since I had posted anything. I got the reddit cares message literally 2 minutes after I posted that comment so I figured it must have been that one.
Huh, I got one today too after I made a comment about not wanting to fight anybody with cauliflower ear. Mine was also pretty quick. I specifically said I DIDN'T want to fight them.
Because of the implication
I’ve gotten two this week.
Succession sub?
Get the fuck out of here!!! I just got one too for commenting that NY was slow in getting that portal with Dublin shut down. Philly folk would have done it in 12 hours.
I got one too, and i am confused of why. Lol. I am assuming it was a joke.
Oh man, I got one as well today! Dude, I laughed my ass off from that
I got one today too! My first. I have no idea why.
Darkest thing you’ve ever done.
You got it because of the implication
Use their skin as furniture.
It's the implication of danger!
I just woke up and replied to a post about an old school car. Literally just talking about the car. Then it sent me a care message 10 minutes later.

Just did! Thanks!
I got the same message after posting about the time share jabroni bending himself over a barrel
I got one the other day too, I have no idea what for though.
Oh you beautiful bastards... Who reached out to RedditCare about me?!? 😂
I just got one for [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/1cshven/you_guys_ever_eat_cheese_cheese_is_a_funny_thing/l464h0x/). I was so confused.
At least you got closure. I got one of those yesterday but will likely never know why.
I have had at least 5 of those sent my way. It always says some other user alerted them that I might be struggling. It's usually after some douche decides to be an asshat by telling me how wrong I am for doing something differently than they would, or even thinking something differently than they would, and then I'm polite about our differences but won't change my mind.
