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

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

All my bans were related to Israel. My first two bans were for stating that Netenyahu needed to be put on trial and hanged for his crimes. The same way Saddam was hanged and many Nazi war criminals were hanged.

They accused me of calling for violence against an individual, and I cannot see their point. If I said I wanted him to be randomly shot or murdered I would, but I wanted him tried and judicially punished. That is not a threat.

And you might wonder why I suddenly am pro-death penalty when I was anti-death penalty for a long time? Because the scale of these crimes and the brazenness is so severe that I realize I have actually seen a crime that IS worthy of capital punished. The soldiers Who took part in the war crimes also need to be sentenced harshly with a minimum of multidecade sentences and if they are released they would he on a strict parole for the remainder of their lives.

And the fun fact is that Netenyahu is continually the genocide in part because if there is another election and he is replaced, he will likely be convicted of major corruption charges within Israel and spend a lot of time in prison anyway...

That sounds comically bad. Like hard to believe bad. Even the slightest mention of anti-Zionist feeling is forbidden now on Reddit?

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

I am currently personally banned from reddit for a pro palestine comment, not just like an account, they've banned my IP and Device IDs, any account I create gets deleted within a few hours, I tried to make one today to test how bad it is...

2 hours, it lasted 2 hours

[–] Lionheadbud@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's despicable how they've tried to shut down criticism of Israel's mass murder by dishing out permabans

[–] Birbatron@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just the mention of r/worldnews made me quiver .

[–] Birbatron@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a fascist's paradise

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Lemmy.world isn't any better these days, it took the anti-spez but still pro r/worldnews crowd

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Lemmy.world is getting there too, though that's more of an admin/moderator issue than a user issue (for now).
