I tried going back to Reddit after a year and a half away. It’s literally unusable now. Got banned from like 5 subs and Reddit within 2 days whereas before my account was 7 years old without a ban. You literally can’t say anything there anymore without offending someone or starting a fight and you’ll get banned right away for any dissent or wrong think. Every mod is ban happy and if you say anything beyond a one word, vanilla answer, you get banned. It’s absolute trash, like I said I made it there for 7 years without a ban, now it’s just frustrating to get banned from every other sub for every other comment. And every post you put up gets taken down right away for one reason or another
I’m currently a public enemy on reddit (as in, they ban every account they find that could possibly be me) because I made a comment stating that Egyptians (I’m egyptian) are not zionists. This was in response to someone saying that Egyptians actually hate palestinians and support israel.
I got permabanned, then they proceeded to permaban every account I made, after the first, the one that lasted the longest (and last) lasted 3 months until It was flagged again for saying “I don’t debate zionists” which reddit considers hate, they removed the 3 day ban I got for that but didn’t remove the permaban the account got for being associated with my old account (used on the same device).
Basically each time I’m banned from a subreddit or temporarily banned from reddit itself my account gets terminated.
All because I don’t support israel.
I refuse to make another one out of principle
Edit: I can’t stop laughing right now.
THEY ACCIDENTALLY UNBANNED ME
Wow. Zionists have banned me from their reddits for not replying fast enough to their bullshit. That is nuts.
I was permabanned for saying that Lebanese people (I am Lebanese) don’t blame Israel for all of Lebanon’s problems… just the problems that they deserve blame for.
Seeing my nearly 13 year old account guy permabanned for that when these people have been getting away with calling for the genocide and bombing of Lebanese children is as chilling as it is infuriating .
Lots of people seem to be reporting permabans for comments involving Israel
That sounds comically bad. Like hard to believe bad. Even the slightest mention of anti-Zionist feeling is forbidden now on Reddit?
You better believe it. I had an account for almost 12 years that only got any kind of ban due to anti-zionist criticism I made. The whole affair with Gaza has broken me in ways I cannot describe. But you wouldn’t believe what was the comment I made that got me permabanned .
Some zionists were trolling me on the Lebanon subreddit and accused all Lebanese of blaming our problems 100% on Israel. I only responded that we only blame Israel for what they deserve blame for.
No seriously, that is what got me permabanned. They claimed that that comment was a call for violence against a marginalized group of people.
The situation over there is tough, it’s so zionist it’s starting to feel right wing.
To be fair, half of it is filled with outright fascists, ahem r/Europe cough r/Worldnews
I always wonder who are the creeps that check out strangers post history. Anyways that’s my point, I’m not like you you’re not like me. I don’t like you either but I don’t want you banned because you offend me.
What’s worse is that if you look at both our histories you’re gonna realize we both hate Trump and conservatives, in a person of color. I’m LGBTQ. but you’re one of those people who just creams themselves on division so you look for it, even among your allies. So to you in not a true Scotsman and therefore you can now look down on me and feel better. When at the end of the day we’re both on the same side, even if we don’t jive.
I always wonder who are the creeps that check out strangers post history.
I mean, I kinda get your point but also when you say things like you get banned that often and that easily are you really surprised people might be curious why and try to see what sort of things you actually post? (Note: I haven’t looked at your post or comment history as of making this comment.)
