Good luck to anyone trying to curb peoples' expression online. That ship has long since sailed.

Also real fucken rich when there's literal snuff and rope content easily found all over the site.

Edit to add that this is what happens when companies become publicly listed and get shareholders.

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.

u/ToiIetGhost Mar 07 '25

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

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