I got permanently banned from /r/worldnews because criticizing Israel is "misinformation"

Well, what the fuck were you doing at reddit in the first place?!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I've completely replaced reddit with Lemmy on my phone, I still sometimes check some bigger subreddits when on my pc. Or subs like HFY that has no equivilant.

Ashamed to admit it, but for me Reddit is hard to kick. I would spend hours on various subs and writing comments. I had 8.5 years invested till I got kicked out. I didn't realize how much time I was spending on the site until that happened.

I dropped it cold turkey after 15 years. I've gone back and looked at it a couple times and noped the fuck out of there. No regrets.

They really are ramping up the suspensions and kicking users out for good. I used a slang word for cigarette and I got suspended for a week. I told them to go back and read my comment, there was not any malice behind it. No dice..

Seems like you know what you did on purpose

Hfy?

And I know what you're saying. I was being facetious. I sometimes check reddit at work too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

HFY (humanity, fuck yeah) was a sub for short stories about humans being cooler than aliens. Not in a self congratulatory way, but like how humans could feasibly have good or useful traits that alien species might not. Such as creativity or physical prowess due to being top of the food chain in a competitive ecosystem.

There’s a Lemmy alternative but not a lot of traction.

I got banned from Reddit permanently because I had commented on an article of pertaining to enemies of the state. I said that traitors should be hung. So a bit strong but it was not directed to a particular person.

If I went out like this, I would have this shit framed and hung over the fireplace.

Lol! I got banned off r/worldnews for that exact same thing three days ago. Got permabanned off reddit this morning.

The rivets are coming off their old propaganda machine in regards to Israel, and they are desperate to plug all the holes.
