"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Recently I got warned on Reddit for saying death to mullahs now I got banned for saying death to Zionism. These proves the fact that Reddit has no freedom of thought anymore, they're more fascist than Elon or Zuckerberg platforms.

i got permanently banned a few days ago for making a post about how the Democrats have done nothing to stop the genocide in Gaza. I appealed and they brought the post back but I'm still banned...

Even if they give you your account back you're probably shadow-banned for causing trouble.

I don't get it! I've downloaded reddit maximum 2 months ago and I was amazed I thought it was such a free space and I was super hopeful everything was there and it seemed like a place I can easily express myself without the eyes of government (compared to Twitter) but look at these.. it's so depressing

It's the biggest consent manufacturing SNS after twitter.

Yeah reddit's always been a zionist fascist shithole. These days I just browse a select handful of subs through a selfhosted redlib instance.

Even the so-called 'progressive' subs are filled with dehumanizing comments about 'the Arabs' and brown people.

Ever since reddit had the incident where they screwed over API / third party use and reddit mods tried to rally and protest it (and got shown how little power they hold over the website), it seems to have gone fast downhill toward the same sort of trajectory as Musk's twitter: more openly reactionary/fash. My suspicion is that some of the mods who got axed by admins during that incident were mods who were at least mildly more true-believer liberal and so had some power of pushback. But with them in shambles, it left a power vacuum for opportunists to fill: the kind of opportunists who wouldn't care much if they're filling a role that's only vacant because the admins are trash, so long as they can use it for narrative control.

Not to say it was good before then, any more than twitter was good before Musk. Just that it seems to have gotten more mask off, much like the administration of the US.

I got banned from r/worldnews for calling isntreal an imperialist apartheid state back in 2020, reddit has never had "freedom of thought" (unless that "freedom" is libertarian-alert shit)

I got a warning for endorsing violence after responding to a person justifying the shooting of Renee Good. They asked why an ICE officer should risk bodily harm standing in front of a moving car and I said something to the effect "because they're a scumbag and they would be doing everyone else a favor by rendering themselves unable to perform the functions of their "job"." Apparently it's endorsing violence to answer someone's dumb hypothetical question about an officer getting run over, but it's not endorsing violence to say it's cool and good that they for real shot someone in the face.

Reddit is an elementary school. The moderators are the teachers.

Your first mistake was using reddit.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

in what subreddit you said that? it was on-topic?

[–] devrimci@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

In Persian subreddit I said death to mullahs and Zionism it's being discussed a lot there
