Lol, this comment was legitimately censored for making the joke "Jews... are controlling the media?"

Edit: I thought about it more, then did some quick searching and it actually shouldn't be a joke.

Didn't take long at all to find these articles of people being punished in Hollywood for calling out Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

It's sad that we're not even allowed to mention how they censor us without being censored. That's how bad it's gotten.

Do not use anti-zionism (OK) as a guise for your antisemitism (bad)

Yes, antisemitism will be removed even when it’s a “joke.”

Edit: I thought about it more, then did some quick searching and it actually shouldn’t be a joke.

What shouldn’t be a joke?

It’s sad that we’re not even allowed to mention how they censor us without being censored.

We know where “ironic” bigotry tends to lead: to an online space becoming a Nazi bar.

It's not censorship; it's content moderation — how hard is it to not make racist jokes on an ostensibly ML forum‽

It is 100% censorship when what I'm saying accurately describes reality.

We're literally not allowed to say the truth because of censorship.
