    I got banned from world news for being pro Palestinians and the mods wouldn’t even give me an answer as to why I got banned. Then when I kept asking I got a site wide ban for "“harassment”

      I got banned from /news for being “antisemitic” because I debunked the fake israeli Rape propaganda and from worldnews for calling out a Zionist mod spreading pro-israel propaganda.

      Also took a few temp bans on .world for debunking other Hasbara such as claims about Hamas bases under hospitals in the beginning of the Genocide.

          Justifying israel and America committing Genocide = reasonable discussion.

          Saying that blocking some ships to inflict economic pressure on the people committing Genocide is okay = terrorism.

          Liberals in a nutshell.

            It’s simple, look at the skin color of the perpetrators and victims, and do a comparison. Easy!

          The reason I made my account on .world was because it was the most Zionism infested instance. It was a very intentional choice.

          As long as you can debunk the Hasbara without getting banned it’s the best place to change people’s minds. You’d be amazed what .world looked like 9 months ago.

          The mods put up with it for a while. But now the elections are coming close and Biden is still committing Genocide the .World mods are stepping up the censorship.

      I got perma IP banned from reddit after engaging a pro Trumper in a debate about what candidate actually gives us any remote chance for legalization. They devolved to trolling. I matche their energy. Guess who’s comments got downvoted to hell (the troll) yet still is allowed to keep their account.

        I swear these people act like school staff who prioritize protecting bullies over their victims. I cannot count the number of times I was accused of being uncivil when I decided to match the bullshit of trolls and bullies.

          It’s because reddit had a rightwing mod takeover and they really do favor the bullies… like look at all the nazi stuff/subs there. Reddit is compromised

          Yea. These people basically get ahead by taking advantage of the decency of others. But once you match their energy, How dare we be so indecent?

          That’s OK though. I now know what it takes for them to understand we can’t be fucked with.

      Back when Reddit was both good and the only option, we could laugh about being banned from the Trump sub.

      Lots of mods on my favourite bits of Reddit left for lemmy, they were replaced by admins and the admins’ friends

      It’s easy now to get a site wide ban if you participate in big subs (and a myriad small subs with the same mods) and don’t share the mods’ politics

      my experience is such that people don’t get these sweeping bans for having opinions. They get them for acting like sociopathic aggressive individuals.

      And based on what I’m seeing when I check folks’ profiles reiterating the same story… Yep it checks out more often than not. There’s no discourse on the internet when it consists of calling people slurs in a weird barrage of insults. Those are the people who get banned here or there.
