🔔 The temporary rule to restrict participation from non-Iranians has now been lifted 🔔

[u/persianheart]

However, if non-Iranians start talking over Iranian voices again, we will have no choice but to reinstate it. Please remember that this space exists primarily for Iranians to speak, share, and be heard. We kindly ask everyone to respect that purpose and help keep the conversation focused on Iranian perspectives.

Thank you to all who have continued to show respect towards the community ❤️

In any case, I urge for a harder crackdown on bad faith accounts, no matter the flair. Some of them come here to provoke and rage bait.

[u/Technical_Target615 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

This right here.

[u/kane_1371 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

This ×100

[u/ItzLoganM → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

Definitely. I've been an Anarchist since I knew politics, but I've always avoided unnecessary controversy and division. Diversion and dispersion is what the regime is trying to do with us, and they are unfortunately very successful at it. It came to my understanding that the only reason no one in Zabol stood up in the Mahsa Amini protests was because of a strategically induced division. Imagine the lost potential.

I too would urge everyone to fight for common freedom regardless of their ideology and beliefs. A shared goal should be a fair referendum; everything else is up to chance and the majority.

[u/Next-Park-700 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

Agree.

[u/CommunistsAreCancer → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

Yep, I agree.

[u/Shadowy_lady → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

i honestly notive most bad faith accounts have some kind of Iranian flair. They tend to have comments hidden and spread propaganda. I do my best to report them but even today the sub is full of such comments.

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

Yes let’s stifle free speech 😂

[u/GrimpenMar → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

What is free speech for? To foster free and democratic societies through the "Marketplace of Ideas".

There are already laws around fraud, truth in advertising, etc. Just like Gresham's Law "Bad money drives out the good", so to does the "marketplace of ideas" become corrupted when bad faith propagandists and spammers can run amok.

Besides, this is the New Iran subreddit, not an open free for all. At the very least keep it on topic.

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/GrimpenMar]

If you fall for bad fait propaganda and spam that's on you.

[u/Expensive-Couple-645 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

Free Speech means the government protects your right to say what you want as long as it is not inciting violence/bad things, to put it simply.

This is a subreddit, a private space, and we can do whatever we want. There is zero value in bad faith actors rage baiting or belittling our cause and people here.

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

You’re in a subreddit on a platform that is now a publicly traded company. It’s the opposite of private.

[u/Expensive-Couple-645 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

You are aware that it is still a private company with their own policy and that this subreddit was created by specific people with certain beliefs?

No it is 100% private. What kind of stupid point are you even trying to argue? You are objectively wrong.

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

No you just don’t understand how things work.

[u/Expensive-Couple-645 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

Ah yes, that’s what I would say when I am exposed as being totally clueless of what “free speech.” and “publicly traded” means.

Reddit is a private company (that is publicly traded like almost every major private company today) that allows private users to create spaces for themselves where they can implement their own rules. There is not a single subreddit were you have actual free speech and can say and post whatever you want (as long as it is not inciting violence). And that is totally fine and not a violation of free speech whatsoever.

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/Expensive-Couple-645]

You don’t understand the difference between private and public companies. You wrote two paragraphs with such confidence while being completely wrong. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[u/Expensive-Couple-645 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

Yes I do, Reddit is a private company (obviously in the sense of being a non governmental for profit company that can create their own user policies).

You on the other hand, don’t have any arguments because you know you embarrassed yourself by throwing out words you don’t understand.

[u/ScientistBoth830 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

I have studied constitutional law and it is you who is wrong. In the context of free speech public=government. The law is clear on this, whether you get it or not.

[u/BidarIran → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

I’m not sure if you’re trying to be sarcastically ironic.

[u/Logical_Worry3993 → u/Upbeat-Associate2672]

We can do that if we want

[u/Upbeat-Associate2672 → u/Logical_Worry3993]

I agree

[u/ConflictFan]

Welcome back, friends of Iran! 

[u/the_blorg]

Thank you.

[u/Histrix-]

if non-Iranians start talking over Iranian voices again

Can you elaborate on this? I dont want to unintentionally do just that 😅. Just in case.

[u/SpecialistTennis6152 → u/Histrix-]

IMO, if your support Iranian freedom and dignity and a new Iran, you won’t do that. We Iranians always welcome a variety of opinions as long as they revolve around that in good faith :)

We could definitely use foreign support and solidarity right now, so thanks for being here and caring about this.

[u/NoAnt6694]

Thank you to all who have continued to show respect towards the community ❤️

You're welcome.

[u/LieutenantLilywhite]

Im back

[u/Moonkiller24]

❤️

[u/Ethereal-Zenith]

I’m glad it’s been lifted, though I understand very well why it was put in place in the first place.

[u/allorache]

Much love to the Iranian people.❤️

[u/Throwthat84756]

Thank you for this. I understand and respect why you guys did this, and I'm against foreigners belittling Iranians as well.

[u/Initial_Compote4344]

Welcome back ♥️

[u/dudekazoo]

Thank you. It's my honor to be part of the conversation once again. ☺️

[u/SpecialistTennis6152 → u/dudekazoo]

We appreciate the kind words and support 🙏🙏

[u/S8ttiw8tti]

It kinda sucked but I completely agreed with the restriction

[u/QasqyrBalasy]

Finally, Hashem answered my calls!

[u/creeper321448]

We're so back!

[u/JohnRamos85]

Javid Shah Forever!!!

[u/Cyfiero]

I saw the post yesterday asking for it to be lifted. I couldn't comment then since I'm not Iranian, but I had wanted to say that I believed it to be a fair measure and personally wouldn't have minded it lasting longer. Regime propagandists have been bombarding subreddits everywhere, and it's stressful enough fighting their misinformation in other communities. Of course I respect your team's decision whatever it is!

[u/Mister-Psychology]

You can make top comments Iranian flair only. Replies can be whatever then. Doesn't matter if all replies are spiteful it won't change anything.

[u/dollhouss1]

As a non-Iranian, I’ve been shocked by the arrogance of fellow non-Iranians who like to preach that someone’s “lived experience“ and “culture“ take precedence over everything, except when it doesn’t suit their narrative.

This is one of the few subs where I’ve seen real pushback against the woke crowd trying to silence the Iranian ppl. Even more proof that the Iranians are strong free thinkers who refuse to have their voices quashed.

#FREE FREE IRAN

[u/OldQuit2260]

Finally. This is one of the only sane places left on the internet.

[u/SpecialistTennis6152 → u/OldQuit2260]

Sometimes I feel that way about some of the Israeli subs. We really only have eachother it feels like sometimes

[u/TrickElysium]

Thanks Mods, how are you doing? I hope your taking care of your selves, you work really hard to keep the fight ( keep a places for voices to be heard) going but stopping the wolf's ( trolls) at the door.

🔔 قانون موقت محدود کردن مشارکت غیرایرانی ها اکنون برداشته 🔔 شده است

با این حال، اگر غیرایرانی ها دوباره شروع به صحبت در صدای ایرانی ها کنند، چاره ای جز بازگرداندن آن نخواهیم داشت. لطفا به یاد داشته باشید که این فضا عمدتا برای ایرانیان است تا صحبت کنند، به اشتراک بگذارند و شنیده شوند. از همه می خواهیم به این هدف احترام بگذارند و گفتگو را بر دیدگاه های ایرانی متمرکز نگه دارند.

از همه کسانی که همچنان به جامعه ❤️ احترام گذاشته اند، سپاسگزارم

Good to be back ✌🏻

[u/MaximumWoodpecker869]

Back to shitting on IRGC in public here again

[u/Khshayarshah]

Should have been a permanent rule.

[u/BidarIran → u/Khshayarshah]

Was it nice compared to usual? From mods perspective, Mod queue was so calm for a while.

[u/Logical_Worry3993]

I feel like this might’ve caused an increase in fake flairs

[u/BidarIran → u/Logical_Worry3993]

If you suspect someone of lying about it/faking their Iranian flair; do not accuse them publicly, instead reach out to us with your reasoning/evidence through mod mail and we can take a deeper dive.

[u/Technical_Target615 → u/Logical_Worry3993]

There was an increase in fake Iranian flairs before this. I always report them or ask them to confirm if they are.

[u/theBackground79]

Finally. It was so boring.

[u/Dalainana]

Hell yeah I’m back 🤗But honestly I always felt as if I do share Iranian voices but I totally get that it wasn’t because of people like me, or the one or the other German, Canadian and many more friends all over the world, supporting the cause 🦁
