Reddit has been user hostile since 2014. It's just that as long as you hurt one part of the community the other parts hate you're fine. The mods are universally hated on reddit and they were the ones most impacted by the changes. The average user either didn't notice or stopped getting automatically banned for joining the wrong subreddits.

> The average user... stopped getting automatically banned for joining the wrong subreddits. Still happens, you're just not allowed to talk about it. /r/bannedforbeingjewish (which collated this) is banned,[1] but to give an example, /r/interestingasfuck (13 million subscribers) bans users that are members of /r/Israel.[2] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/bannedforbeingjewish/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bannedforbeingjewish/ [2] https://archive.is/OkfOY https://archive.is/OkfOY

  What's weird is the subs that will ban you for simply commenting in another sub, especially for just one comment, even if your comments are contrary to the theme of the sub.

    When r/thedonald was around, I would debate misconceptions americans had about politics in Denmark from time to time (no we're not socialist). And of course I would get banned left and right (but mostly left), and would get the "you post in thedonald, ergo I win"-line regularly. Reddit was a trash heap then, and it's gotten exponentially worse since. Why anyone go there voluntarily is beyond me. It contains nothing of value.

      If you like British panel shows (or any version of taskmaster) then /r/panelshow is pretty great. Not much chatter, but then again, maybe that's part of the appeal lol.

      Tech support for niche issues is pretty good there.

      That subreddit could basically not be further from the ones I frequent. There are some ok cycling ones, relatively low traffic, not many people, good content - and especially not only typical computer nerds.

  Let’s be super clear, [2] does not ban the user for being Jewish as per [1] claims. There is no way for the mod/bot to know this rather. It is clearly spelt out in the terms. “You have been banned for participating in a bad-faith subreddit (specifically Israel) which brigades other subreddits and spreads propaganda/disinformation/racism/sexism.” Personally I don’t use Reddit that much, so I can speak to if this statement is true or not, the mods however do think it is.

    There's no other nationality in the world where commenting in the subreddit devoted to that country results in being automatically banned from other subreddits.

      I am not surprised. With the amount of misinformation that is produced and disseminated from the highest levels of israeli society. See my other posts on 1) Zionism = racist / supremacist ideology 2) misinformation 3) links to a documentary demonstrating how people are being awakened to the truth (and how they realise they have been lied to) Israelism film on YouTube 4) psyops campaigns both against their own citizens , and Americans etc.

        Russia does all of the things you’re alluding to at arguably a much greater scale. Also as you’ve outlined, plenty of the misinformation is targeted at Israeli citizens themselves and banning those people from the opportunity to engage outside of their bubble makes no logical or moral sense

      Really, the H accusation card? Point noted. I should have prefixed it with zionist Israelis. There are Israelis that have been awakened to the truth (see BT Salem, Ilan Pappe milo peled etc) Also many former American Jewish Zionists [1] see Israelism film. You can also watch this to understand how these ideas and misinformation is propagated at an industrial scale. You will note I clearly specified Zionist , which is an inherently racist/supremicist ideology. Akin to aparthied in South Africa.

        Yes, when you say things that sound like Hitler, I will tell you that you sound like Hitler. I’m not clicking any of your stupid links or engaging with you. However, I know a lot of South Africans and will be sure to warn them away from your company.

      Some samples of misinformation at the highest levels. There are many more, here are some of the more recent ones: False claims of beheaded babies, reports of babies burnt in ovens. Even more nefarious , are the psyops influence campaigns (both against own citizens [1]) and against American's [2] [1] https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-admits-psychological-warfare-attempt-against-israeli-citizens/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-admits-psychological-warfa...
