I have spoken against genocide on reddit before and received site wide bans for speaking my mind.

    I got a lifetime ban from reddit - given by r/palestine for speaking out about usraeli settlers behaviour to Palestinians in the West Bank - no appeal, no contact.

    I was in the top 1% of commenters on that platform…Infiltrated by zionists?

      I got banned from /r/Palestine for calling out pro-Trump obvious foreign election interference. As in, brand new accounts during the 2024 campaign that posted dozens of pro-Trump articles to /r/Palestine with no other site activity.

      I had a fourteen-year history of posting in support of Palestinian liberation and against the occupation and genocide.

      Funnily enough, I also got banned from /r/politics for a pro-Palestine comment.

      What I take from all this is that reddit is a shithole and not worth getting worked up over. Fuck that site and all the astroturfing pro-genocide monsters on world news and the rest of it.

    I would love to see a poll on reddit on whether or not the /r/israel sub should be banned… but, I can’t even ask that question. unless someone is smarter than me…

      I support censorship on Lemmy.ml and my home instance Lemmygrad. You need censorship to have a chance of having good interactions, otherwise it’ll just be deliberate attacks, shock-content drowning out anything you’d wish to engage with.

      But the software isn’t censored. If you don’t like the censorship regime in your particular instance, you can go to a different instance. Almost none will be zero-censorship, but you can find one that is permissive. If you insist on no censorship at all, hosting your own on your home computer is feasible.
