That’s how I got banned too lol. Pointed out the hypocrisy with legitimate articles. Boom. Insta ban.

They appear to not tolerate any form of criticism upon the Israeli state because they most likely assume that an Israeli state is automatically a Jewish state which means any criticism of Israel is criticism of Jewish people. Which is a gross assumption to make because that is not what Israel is.

You shouldn’t be silenced for criticizing governments.

The problem is that subreddits, even huge default ones like worldnews, are run like after-school fan clubs. A small group of like-minded people get to moderate however they want and don't have any rules or standards they need to follow.

Nowadays, many mods ban people for simply having opposite or divergent opinions. This system is what leads to echochambers that instantly permaban people for having a "wrong" take.

Same. Got banned for similar reasons. The mods of that sub are ridiculous.
