> deleted all subreddits that were critical of war hmmmmm Or wait, are you confusing subreddits with threads and admins with subreddit mods? That’s the only way your comment doesn’t read as downright insane.

no, they outright deleted subreddits. Some of these subreddits were long criticized for having genocide material but reddit refused to remove them for "freedom of speech". When they put up a banner criticizing the war, reddit admins removed the subreddit outright. here is the time article about it https://time.com/6160519/reddit-international-hate-speech-ban/ https://time.com/6160519/reddit-international-hate-speech-ba... They refused to ban either subreddit for 2 years but a week after they criticized the war, they were both deleted.

    I got IP banned for my comments on HN! . These subreddits were against the russia-ukraine war and were stating that NATO pushed them. more fun fact. typing "zelensky Pan" stops all auto-complete in google since people are searching for "zelensky pandora" but "Putin pan" brings out all pandora papers about it even though Zelensky is twice as much in pandora papers as Putin. Even google has censored all negative news about zelensky in it's autocomplete.

      >I got IP banned for my comments on HN! . Looking at your submission history, I'm shocked that it's taken this long. Dang must be on a holiday. >These subreddits were against the russia-ukraine war and were stating that NATO pushed them. So, what you're actually saying is that they were actually not against the Russian war of aggression? Your suggestion that they were simultaneously against the war and also trying to justify it doesn't really add up.
