        It also worked with Reddit. The Palestine discourse there is utterly repulsive and gleefully genocidal.

            worldnews is absolutely surreal and awful. Country specific subreddits are also getting worse and worse.

              Holy shit you’re not wrong. I just browsed the top of the week on World News for a good twenty minutes and there wasn’t a single post about the thousands of civilians that have been killed. I didn’t see a single pro Palestine post and anybody talking about the literal war crimes being committed over there we’re just downvoted. I think I agree with your word choice of “surreal.” It feels like straight up propaganda and they are all falling for it. Every post about Israel was just saying something about how they’re taking out the terrorists.

              It’s hilariously ironic that I got banned from worldnews four years ago for criticizing the Saudi regime and how they use millennia-old scripture as justification to treat women horribly. Apparently that’s ‘bigotry.’

              Everything I hear about the toxicity of worldnews these days is baffling.

                Well, Saudi Arabia is an ally in all but name to Israel. Also both countries have excellent ties to large swaths of US politics.

      Or… I run a reddit botnet, and Christmas is coming up. What’s the easiest group of rubes to fleece?
