interest in social media around the Never-Ending War against the Jews of the Middle East, I continue to look at the nature of various venues going all the way back to Daily Kos in the 2000s.
Recently I have been taking a gander at Reddit and compared to, say, X or Facebook I am pleasantly surprised.
From what I can tell, Facebook is pretty much the bottom-of-the-barrel in terms of gutter-level antizionism.
The hate towards Israel coming out of Facebook pages like "Artists for Palestinians" is very low rent... but that is part of what I found interesting about it.
I want to know what people think on the street and it doesn't get more street level than Facebook antizionism. Those guys absolutely despise Jews Zionists and they haven't the intelligence or sophistication to gild their hatred in the form of academic-sounding neo-socialism that you might find from, say, AOC or, much to my disgust, Bernie Sanders.
The "subreddits" that I am beginning to participate in include r/Isreal and r/IsraelPalestine.
To my taste, at least, the environment of Reddit is better than Facebook and X, mainly because it's a bit more homey, if you get me.
X, btw, is just awful and alienating and cold.
Although I fully expect to get banned from Reddit shortly -- because I keep getting banned from various social media venues -- for the moment I can be found under the name u/Good_Low2461.
I didn't even choose that moniker.
They chose it for me and, for the time being, at least over there, I welcome the anonymity.
I think that Reddit tends to be more anonymous than either X or Facebook.
Ever since I left Daily Kos, somewhere early in the Obama administration, I have remained pretty much open about my identity.

Just heard the term “AI Slop” to refer to internet content, like increasing numbers of youtube videos, that are created by AI and voiced by AI.
Awful.
