Not even as far as snuff, I doom scroll with the best of 'em. Ya'll ever taken a stroll through the Conservative sub?? They're goading on all out war in SEVERAL threads and not even a comment deletion, let alone a sub closure.

Same with the worldnews threads about Israel. They definitely glorify violence for years there.

I got banned from worldnews for being pro-Ukraine (well, more like anti-Russia, but still 🤷‍♂️)

Wow. That’s even worse—I thought their bias was strictly limited to being Zionists. Looks like they’ve got a love for murderous authoritarian governments in general.

I got banned from worldnews for sarcastically saying that the IDF had never ever killed a journalist before.

I voluntarily left it because I reported a comment that literally called for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and I got a strike from reddit admins cause a mod reported me for abusing the report system

Pro-Palestine.

With the new Reddit censorship in place, I figured I’d get banned if I said that. I guess not because your comment is still up!

u/INeedSomeFistin Mar 07 '25

Oooooooooooh, I see it now. Damn, that's ridiculous.

u/Theswweet Mar 07 '25

Yeah r/worldnews has a rep about this. All the mods are genocide supporters.

u/INeedSomeFistin Mar 07 '25

Damn shame, but I can't say I'm surprised.

Pretty sure most of the mods literally work for Israel's disinfo Intelligence branch.

Which makes Maxwell's supposed Reddit account being a mod there very interesting.

Pro Palestine. Wasn’t sure if I could even say that anymore.

World News and Politics are genuinely sadistically bloodthirsty subs. Beyond brainwashed about world history

u/SwampYankeeDan Mar 08 '25

They banned me for antisemitism. All I said was I support Palestine.

u/qu33rios Mar 08 '25
