I got banned from /r/WorldNews and /r/ukpolitics for saying that "from the river to the sea" isn't antisemitic. It was in the early days post Oct 7th when reddit was virulently pro-Israel; I don't think they'd do the same nowadays.

I didn't leave immediately but thinking about it again really pissed me off as I'd been a regular commenter without much issue for years. It genuinely left me feeling quite depressed thinking about how little I mattered to them. When you get banned there's always some shit about how you should ask if you don't understand the ban, but one sub never replied, the other went further and told me to stop messaging their mods (I did so once a week when I wasn't receiving replies, to not spam them) so that was meaningless.

The irony is that here I'm usually getting downvoted for being insufficiently anti-Israel.
