so sick of the ban wave… literally can’t even talk to someone on reddit without them also being banned, had my last alt for like a week and maybe 10 people got permanently suspended literally while I was talking to them, mostly very polite interesting people. one was a super long very calm somewhat humorous debate about WW2 history and just as we start to agree, poof he’s banned. I want to give reddit credit and assume it was for something on another sub, but im guessing they just mistook one of his comments about the war as a “call for violence” or some bullshit and banned him.

I hate most social media these days, since ukraine. I never really liked reddit but I kinda got into it because of chapo , then I found you guys when they got banned but then you got banned too so wtf… there’s not even a new replacement sub, why bother they’d just be banned right? I hate facebook, twitter, imgur, i don’t take photos of my lunch so ive never even been on snapchat or instagram. I miss revleft (if anyones old enough to remember them?)

I’m just done with reddit any social media you guys can recommend where I dont have to stick to 144 words, or just post photos?

    No recommendations…back when I spent too much time online I tried to radicalize people on YouTube and my comments would get removed or shadowbanned, even when I would be NEVER hostile or cuss or suggest violence, only offer simple facts about Ukraine etc. It has certainly got REALLY bad since the war, I can barely even say words like “capitalism” or “China” anymore.

    Tumblr I wasn’t quite so obviously censored but would recieve a heap of death threats about me and my family whenever I would try and talk Ukraine, nothing to seriously worry but just demoralizing because of how insane and evil some of these mfers are.

    The only social media I can half recommend is this one 😅 Tumblr is okay sometimes and I still use YouTube for education, but definitely all-in-all I heavily limit my social media use.

      alot of it comes from Trump, dont forget in 2012 Mitt Romney was laughed at and mocked for claiming America’s number one geopolitcal enemy was Russia. Then ukraine and syria happened, and then 2016 happened, and Hillary thought it would be an awesome idea to capitalize on everyone’s mccarthyist brainwashing and paint trump as some kind of russian spy. A charge she was also happy to level at Bernie Sanders. Somehow now it’s Hillary and Zelensky vs Trump and Putin. Despite the fact that Putin and Hillary would probably be best friends, and zelensky is practically the Ukrainian Trump, a right wing Tv personality with no government experience elected with the backing of shady financiers, in a time of political turmoil who’s often accused of secretly being a neo nazi.
