    Sounds like it was the BBC that had omitted the context in the original headline. If anything this highlights how wild it is that Reddit titles still can’t be edited

      The only reason I can think of for that rule is to prevent people from posting something that’s very agreeable and then changing it to something terrible once it has thousands of upvotes, and making it look like many people support the terrible statement.

        Not even mods can do this in Reddit, though. Seems like an unreasonable restriction.

        If only there was a system that logged every moderator action into a public page that everybody can see. Maybe we can call it “modlog” or something like that.

    Am I the only one who wonder about a Hamas “genocidal” strategy? That they wish they could kill all Israelis, no doubt, but “genocidal strategy”?

    Are we supposed to believe they thought they would get all Israelis on Oct 7th or something??

    lol I just got banned for commenting in this thread. Not sure what I even said but presumably for criticizing the IDF’s war crimes. The mods there are unhinged.

      I got a ban from there after being confronted by a /pol/ troll. One of the ones that attacks things they don’t like as being Indian. They said something about them needing to be genocided. I called them a nazi. That was the reason for the ban.

      So that’s why I’m pretty sure the mods of subreddit are basically /pol/. I think that whole subreddit is a front for controlling narratives.
