    i posted “death to isreal” and got the same thing.

    Meanwhile, numerous subs dedicated to incredibly graphic ukraine drone warfare videos, celebrating death to “orcs” is cool.

      there’s no point in pretending reddit isn’t just a place for the US State Department true believers. No point in even trying, it’s like pissing into the ocean.

        It’s extremely funny. You only need two data points to see Reddit for what it is. Eglin Air Force Base being the most “Reddit addicted city” in 2013 and Jessica Ashooh being made the Director of Policy in 2017.

    Ok, now make an alt and submit a revised version with the flag of China or the DPRK and see if you get banned. Post the results side-by-side in the same sub.

    I won’t wait for the results.

    Got banned from a supposedly safe space ahem r/fantasy ahem for calling out that recommending a mormon and Zionist author Sanderson to an east asian looking for hope is ironic.

      Damn, that sucks. I literally just finished the Mistborn trilogy on Friday and it has become one of my favorite series. I haven’t had a series I enjoyed like that in like a decade or so. Do you by any chance have links to comments he’s made about Zionism or anything like that?

        Just look at the Legion series cliffnotes. Rich white city boy goes to Jerusalem to save it from the evil brown savages. It’s not even a little subtle.

        Afaik, because of his book legion, I am in a dilemma whether to read it for myself but the facts are that the books are set in a place inspired by Jerusalem and tries to glorify the settlers and also he has been to Israel multiple times for book signings iirc.

    “Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging”

    Their self-image is beyond delusional

        A Fed or specifically a CIA agent. People have been using the term ever since Terry Davis (a schizo programmer who developed his own OS) got popular. In one of his videos he says at some point that “the CIA ni***ers glow in the dark; you can see them if you’re driving. You just run them over.”

    My ban was just for asking whether Israel claiming they’re “going to do to Hamas what the US did to ISIS” meant killing millions of civilians and then leaving.

      All the lib tears are going to be delicious when and as the AmeriKKKan flag gets the same treatment as its regime spirals further into undeniable decline and then collapse, hopefully/likely in the near future. If we’re lucky, reddit won’t even be around anymore and they won’t be sheltered from the mockery and disdain of the entire non-western and non-lib world they’ve sidelined and silenced on their platforms anymore.

      People buy high-karma reddit accounts?

        Spam and astroturfing purposes. A previously active account can get away with more and may have more sway in communities they were active in.

          Yep. I saw a reddit post once detailing the process. With some negotiating tactics. He was able to get a 7 year account with 80k karma sold for 210 USD
