IIRC, r/worldnews was moderated by Ghislaine Maxwell for a while even... It's dead, Reddit is dead. 😞

Quit reddit, it's not worth it anymore

The German sever feddit.org is problematic too. They follow Israel-backed rules over what statements count as “antisemitism”. I’ve seen valid statements get deleted by admins/mods.
I appreciate that the mods say they are bound by Israeli/German attitudes and laws over what defines “antisemitism”, but maybe run a server about something other than European affairs in that case.

I was banned by reddit for quoting two articles from reputable news sources:
FBI officials contacted by the daily reacted angrily to the allegation of preferential treatment for the Saudis.
One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, when queried by the Times about the airport escorts said "we'd do that for anybody if they felt they were threatened - we wouldn't characterise that as special treatment."
The newly released report leaves Ms. Farmer’s name redacted, describing her only as a professional artist. She had been hired by Mr. Epstein to acquire art on his behalf.
The complaint says that she had taken photos of her younger sisters — ages 16 and 12 — for her personal art work, and Ms. Farmer clarified in an interview that the photos included nude images. “Epstein stole the photos and negatives,” the handwritten F.B.I. report says. The report also says that Mr. Epstein had asked Ms. Farmer to take pictures of young girls at swimming pools and threatened to “burn her house down” if she told anyone about the photos.
Ms. Farmer said she did not hear from the F.B.I. until a decade later, when a fuller investigation ensued, ending in a 2008 plea deal for Mr. Epstein in Florida. She said she had lived in fear after trying to report Mr. Epstein.
According to reddit, my post "threatened violence".

The main reason I still use reddit is for the local subreddits - it's a useful feed for local information.
But there was a post today with a heavy pro-Israel bent, and I took the bait knowing what would happen and it did.
I don't regret it. I saw about 10 other people post similar things and then their posts disappear too.
Censorship is terrible but I think the tide is turning anyway -- the crimes are just too egregious.
