Posts that push an agenda and propaganda post will be removed

I have noticed a new trend of propaganda posts lately. As per the subreddit's rules these posts are not compliant and will be removed, repeat offenders will be banned.

​

I want to thank everybody that reported these posts and would like you all to know that I see your reports and will try my best protect this subreddit. I would love to hear any suggestions on how to improve the look of the subreddit and how to keep our audience engaged.

​

Best Regards

Since both sides consider anything from the other side "propaganda", what exactly does this mean?

If you haven't noticed, UAE and Saudi Arabia have been pushing on the news and have people on the internet saying that their somehow heroes to the Yemeni crisis when the truth is that they've made it worse.

I strongly agree with you there (including your other comments in your history - sorry, I had to creep haha). It's frustrating that we can't express ourselves, but knowing the fiery nature and tribal mindset of our people, I totally understand why these posts or comments are not allowed (maybe another Yemen subreddit that allows this type of discourse?). At the same time, I wish there were an outlet for us to safely express our thoughts as a community. Censorship, controversial ideas, biblioclasm, coersive beliefs have to stop. I wish our folk would be a little less influenced by sensationalist journalism and forwarded WhatsApp jpegs/TikToks, and it starts with sharing our thoughts with good etiquette and expressing them without logical fallacies, and backing those ideas up with reliable sources, academic papers, etc. And it's okay to have different outlooks on the current affairs of Yemen and different ideas on what it would take to progress our society. More of our community should listen and respect more, and react and censor less.

That is true, Yemen is diverse with cultures and cultural attire. If you have a Yemeni theme Snoo design that you would like to submit we would love to feature it as the Subreddit icon.

Salam! Thank you for notifying the Mod team. We usually catch these pretty early, however it seems they changed their strategy lately into a new one, no matter we will continue to block and ban them.

However we still rely on the help of the community to report and down vote these post as soon as you see them. Also feel free to message any of the mods to get their attention. We are here to support the community.
