all capitalist social media has become more fascist in the last decade due to a concerted top-down push from ideologically driven upper managerial/executive class.

I've felt this before I left 
over a year ago. A lot of my stuff was removed just for being not reactionary, not even just tankie shit.
I'm not sure if you remember, but when the chapo sub got banned, those of us with a history of posting there had our upvotes and downvotes removed. Like we'd upvote something, log-off, and the upvotes disappeared.
IMO, a lot is in play here. Reddit tends to ban overly hostile mods, and people with lots of free time (i.e. people with material resources) are gonna be mods. But there's no reason that a huge social media company isn't going to try to crack down on subversive thought. Anti left behaviour is as old as capitalism itself.

Zionists aren't going to tolerate even the most civil conversation with the other side. You're not wrong to be upset, but I'm not at all surprised.
I hate this idea of every comment and every post there having to be 100% aesthetically and morally correct, to only being able to question the status quo of subjects on the most surface level. It really feels like social media is training people to be 'mentally stunted', to self-censor everything and live in an imaginary dream world where every thought is percieved as the most perfect, morally superior, and everything that slightly deviates from that is wrong and needs to be removed.
I empathise. I've spend many hours stressing and feeling depressed with how unfair reddit and wikipedia are. I can't stress enough, though, that we are living in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Your boss and your landlord hold the power of death over you, and the political/ideological systems are controlled by that class. Sometimes we can pretend for a bit that we have some power, but as the contradictions in Western capitalism become bigger, we'll be given less of a voice to criticise them, including social media.

I really do empathise. It's shit. I'm guessing that I'm much much older than you. I want to say that you'll see this trend almost everywhere, at work, in media, with family, at social settings, etc. It's absolute dogshit and I'm sorry.
