What X’s report says

What it means

Post detected in response to a user report to contain content in violation of X’s Violent Content policy.

Effect on visibility

Post discoverability is restricted to the author’s profile. All users can see a label explaining that the post has limited visibility.

What X’s code adds

Hidden from everyone but you in both Following and For You, not only from non-followers (visibility-filtering/rules/tweet_rules.rs).
You see a notice you can appeal, and 13 actions are switched off on the post: like, reply, repost, quote, share, bookmark, pin, copy link, DM, edit, highlight, embed and lists.
A repost of the post carries the same notice.

Read from X’s open-source code. X’s live settings can differ.

What to do

Reread the post against the X policy it names. If it breaks the rule, delete it. If you think the label is wrong, X’s appeal form for limited posts is the place to say so. Figures of speech (“I’ll kill this launch”) can get reported too.
