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

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

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

Just the mention of r/worldnews made me quiver .

It's a fascist's paradise

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