i just like that i can post here and not worry about getting banned for criticizing israel, amerikka, capitalism, white supremacy, etc. i hate having to walk on eggshells on reddit and constantly getting banned/lectured to by the dumbest liberals on earth

I got perma ban for this. This is hate speech. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Honestly you're better off. Being on Reddit is self harm.

Lol, yeah. But you know, I had my communities there and communicating with people from all over the globe without thinking who they are, where they're from made me feel like I had my happy hippie place, like I'm connected to the world. And fuckers took it away from me by banning me so some zionist fuck doesn't get offended.

That day when day banned me, my ex committed suicide. I had a need to share it with someone because I don't have many people around me and unfortunately VL is my socialisation. I needed my online people that day. I wish there is a way to send a message to admins just do I can tell them to screw themselves in the ass with something hard and sand and papery for this ban.

Glad I found this place. I like it, even though it's a little bit complicated. ๐Ÿ˜… But at least I don't have to read zio hateful disgusting bullshit.

And yeah, my mental health went to south since reddit showed me what pieces of inhumane scum live on this planet. So yeah, you're right, it really is a self harm in the end.

Oh, I'm so so sorry about your ex... Yeah, I didn't mean to downplay how much those online spaces can mean to us. It's really awful that it was taken from you for not towing the mainstream line. I have a Palestinian flag pin that I put on my backpack but I take it off when I go into the office because no one at work would sympathise and I worry about retaliation for it, so I understand. Fucked up world we live in.

I didn't take it as a downplaying from your comment. ๐Ÿ™‚ Just saying that it's fucked up that those bastards are protecting Zionists' emotions and banning people without considering that maybe their platform is somewhat important to the users they're banning. And they're doing it like cowards, with a senseless bot to which every word can be forbidden word.

It's really awful that it was taken from you for not towing the mainstream line.

Oh, fuck reddit. I found Lemmy. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Oh, I'm so so sorry about your ex...

We do... Fortunately, my colleagues don't say shit when I wear my keffiyeh, but even if they did, I'm feisty bitch and I would fight them over it. I'm just waiting if our stupid police will start to bug me, but I think they have bigger issues to deal with.
