The past week has shown humanity at its worst: A horrific terrorist attack left at least 1,300 Israelis dead, among them peace activists and even innocent children. The fates of many more kidnapped civilians still lie in the balance. Meanwhile, statements from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggest retaliation…

        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…

          Hfy?

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

            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.

      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.

        See, this on the other hand is bullshit. You know that there is an antisemitic conspiracy saying that “ThE jEwS cOntRol eVeRyThIng”. Why you gotta stoke that shit?

        Children with bone-cancer control the narrative?

        Edit: also, this is often phrased as “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize” which is a quote from a literal neo Nazi and kiddie porn enthusiast, Kevin Alfred Strom.
