    It looks they’re pushing hard again anything Palestine.

    I’ve seen removed content from people’s personal Instagram accounts, YouTube, and now reddit.

    Looks coordinated, but I don’t have much else to support it.

      This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. When the Ukraine war started, there was a lot of this going around, a ton of astroturfing, a ton of bans of accounts and subreddits. Reddit is one of the largest social media sites, and the one that has a culture of being “smarter” than all the others ones. One of the best ways to get people to blindly believe anything you say is to convince them that they are very intelligent for believing it. Redditors love that shit. It’s like the website was custom built to be an open mouthpiece for the US state department.

      IOF and US forces are ardent Redditors.

      Even if that weren’t the case, there are a lot of shared interests between the US capitalist class faction centered in Silicon Valley and the Zionist colonial project, so messaging against these interests is removed.

      Who funds Reddit anyway? I won’t be surprised if a significant potion of their owners have links with Zionists and neocons.

        The media companies in the US depends on bribery and indoctrination from the Capitalist class and con-artist politicians for their profit. Free market and democracy depends on the assumption that everyone have perfect information to see through deception, so the Liberals will establish a flawed system that will ensure the failure of Capitalism to everyone except for the oligarchy.

        Perhaps propaganda is effective enough where folks will censure of their ‘own’ accord without explicit instruction. I think it’s plausible since it’s in their material interests to act as such anyways.

          Yea, this phenomenon is described in Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model.

          It’s not explicit coordination.

            There might be some of it though such as Reddit saying “From the river…” is sometimes against the Content Policy. My guess is that 99.9% of the time it’s used is to mean freedom for Palestine and not calling for genocide or something

    Respond to them and tell them you’re glad that Reddit mods also consider the Zionist entity’s treatment of children as violent.

    Fuck reddit, year and a half ago my community with truthful information about Ukraine War was just fucking deleted like it never existed, and I even couldn’t get there to get my posts and post them on Telegram or something. Two month of hard work were just deleted

    There are like…two niche communities (which weren’t political anyway) I miss from my reddit days, and literally nothing else. This does not exactly tempt me to consider going back.
