Gaza's 2.3 million residents were largely cut off from the outside world after Israel expanded air and ground operations and suggested its long-promised ground offensive against Hamas militants had begun.

    I’ll tell you one thing - I’ve been on reddit just trying to provide some counters to the (extremely genocidal) conversation going on over there, but the censorship is just out of control. /r/worldnews mods will straight up permaban you for a comment like “I just wish everyone would try to resolve this peacefully”. You look at the front of /r/worldnews any day, it’s 60% articles from Israeli newspapers and the comments are just 75% “[removed]”.

    One of the biggest discussion sites on the internet and they’ve basically weaponized it into a propaganda tool. Shameful time we live in.

      Reddit has been extremely trash. Going back from time to time wondering if the people there are talking about topics I’m interested in that haven’t gained traction on lemmy has made me seriously question why I ever liked using that site. You’re absolutely right about the genocidal conversation on r/worldnews, it’s so disgusting.

      That sub isn’t officially right-wing, but it’s definitely right-wing. I’ve seen a ton of transphobic bullshit upvoted there too, for example.
