Banned from r/bosnia for commenting in r/europe, r/srpska, and r/Europe?

Why do you get automatically banned from r/bosnia for commenting in r/europe, r/srpska, and r/serbia? I guess i can stretch myself to seeing how you can get banned for being in a Serbian group, but Europe doesn't make sense

r/Bosnia može samo da mi čučne nežno.Živela Srbija i RS.Živeo nam Balkan bez ballija.
Fickle-Message-6143@reddit
They have auto ban for everything that could imply that user is Serb or Croat. The worst and most hatefull sub of all Balkan subs. For some time they had post pinned celebrating destruction of church somewhere in BiH.
Real sub of BiH is r/bih.
ExtremeProfession@reddit
They even ban Bosniaks that aren't right wing and don't believe SDA is the pinnacle of democracy and prosperity.
Scary_Persimmon_1682@reddit
A friend of mine from Goražde, who is a Muslim by nationality, is also banned.
SamiTheAnxiousBean@reddit
From a Muslim Region in serbia (and raised Muslim obv) , family (and family of a vast majority of others here and generally within the region) trace back to people who fled the Srebrenica genocide
Banned for "being Serb"
Scary_Persimmon_1682@reddit
They don't consider you Bosniak. My family fled the Raska oblast genoside where Serbian Muslims killed thousands of Serbian Christians during WW2.
AdEmbarrassed3803@reddit
you mean Sandzak oblast?
Gladius_Bosnae_Sum@reddit
I've been called a Bosniak nationalist on reddit by a few, and even I didn't pass the vibe check. I was informed that I can go to r/bih, the Serbocroat8an board lmao
SamiTheAnxiousBean@reddit
Can confirm
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Wow that's crazy
ZAMAHACHU@reddit
I am one of those banned for mocking SDA
arapske-pare@reddit
was before r/hreddit was made
HPLovecraftsCatNigg@reddit
Just for context but the church was demolished because it was built on a woman's land that was confiscated from her during the war. She won the court case and they had to put it down.
Fickle-Message-6143@reddit
That doesn't mean they should celebrate like they won world cup.
NagibUzbrdica@reddit
It kinda does tho.
Virtual_Heron_3344@reddit
Yeah, my neighbour's house is literally built on stolen land from my grandfather. Lord knows I'll celebrate whenever it gets torn down.
NagibUzbrdica@reddit
Exactly. The fact that people are upvoting the coment above and thinking we shouldn't celebrate the demolition of really any object built on stolen land is laughable, especially in this case when it was a part of politics of ethnic cleansing.
outlanderfhf@reddit
Good to know, although, having capital B and H would make it seem more official like BiH
NoNeedForNaming@reddit
Banned by affiliation.
Not something Reddit should be proud about.
NoNeedForNaming@reddit
All I said is, there are no real Ottoman sites outside of Sarajevo.
WTF??? 🤣
Absolute morons.
Marmotsammich@reddit
The turks are scared of the mighty serbs
Swaydelay@reddit
Bosniaks sometimes seem the most confused people in the Balkans.
zoranss75@reddit
Lol
Wonderful-Antelope39@reddit
They do this to protect bosnian muslims from this subreddit from lies of sides from foreign extremists and autonomists
Wonderful-Antelope39@reddit
It is good subreddit
SpotForeign4582@reddit
I got banned on r/kosovo for writing in a post the UN link with the map of Serbia 🤣..
they accept everything but the truth and factual history there.
brainwashing of a nation..
KulaTube@reddit
r/bosnia is extremist ultranationalist sub. Real Bosnian sub is r/bih.
Budget_Marionberry52@reddit
You are saying that average Bosniak (Muslim) is not like r bosnia mods and users?
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Thanks
BarskiPatzow@reddit
r/bosnia is an ultranationalist shithole sub. Moderators there are nuts to say the least.
barugosamaa@reddit
I wonder how fast i get banned there if i just say burek s sirom
uhm_akshually@reddit
I got banned from r/bosnia for saying this lol
BarskiPatzow@reddit
They hate the truth there, they live in their bubble of hatered.
barugosamaa@reddit
Totally deserved ban, how dare you be a normal person that politely participate in other subs?! /s
Yeah, that was 100% a sub that is a bit on the racist side.
Besrax@reddit
Why r/europe though?
Leather-Card-3000@reddit
Only r/europe would make sense out of those 3
2024-2025@reddit
r/srpska makes sense in a bosnian context. The sub is basically 90 % hate towards Bosnia and Bosniaks.
Imaginary_Advice_478@reddit
and 50% of the population of that country
2024-2025@reddit
34,7 % of the population
Imaginary_Advice_478@reddit
Still a massive number. Should people in French subs be banned because they are in Algerian, Moroccan, Senegalese or Dominican reddit subs as well?
2024-2025@reddit
If they hate France and wish the death towards the country, absolutely yes
Imaginary_Advice_478@reddit
What? Are we generalising now? So every Serb thinks that?
What about them wishing death towards anyone thats not Bosniak? And we are talking about as you said 34,7% of population of that country that they wish death to?
I would never think that I am just using your arguments as an example...
I did live in Marseille and Paris tho for some time.
Beautiful city, beautiful people.
Marseille is awesome.
I am sure there are people that hate France there, we did see a lot of French and Immigrants do stuff in France that directly show that they want death to the country, but it's not all of them.
Same goes for people in Balkans and specifically Bosnia with all of its entities.
Again, people spreading hate and wishing death should be banned. But this conversation isn't about that? It's about being autobanned just because they are part of different ethnic groups and subreddits, in which case your arguments don't hold any weight or have much sense tbh
Altruistic-Effect251@reddit
This is not true, honestly.
Leather-Card-3000@reddit
and r/europe is 100% hate towards anything balkanic lmfao
rintzscar@reddit
That's nonsense.
Leather-Card-3000@reddit
Ye , sure.
Election in insert balkanic country ends with someone who declares on TV he/she is pro-europe( most likely doesn't care that much or its lying), and foreigners have no clue of his/her corrupt past -> "ooOOHHhH yEeAA wOrlD iS HeEaLINg yOu gO GuYys CoNGraTs"
Something linked with endemic corruption happens in insert balkanic country -> foreigners in r/europe with literally ZERO background in the political history of that country other than Politico/DW articles -> "oMmGgG oFCcc It iS BalKaNs iTs AlwAys tHeerE thAt thoOSe thIngS hApPen KiCK thEm OUT/BlOcK thEir EU fUndS/ acCesSion tO EU ThEy do NOt DEseRvE sOurCe: BAlKaNiC ImMigrAnTs cOntrIbuTe to tHe BaD sTate My WeStern/CenTraL eUropEan coUntrY iS In TrUstt!!!!!"
Look what they even say of hungary when anything political happens there , most cry to kick hungary out of EU. Or when they all get wet seeing Erdogan handshaking Zelensky "omg free world leaders" then next news about turkey being corrupt mfers they cry about turkish diaspora in Germany. Lmfao
xRyozuo@reddit
That’s pretty much anything not local for people though. I could say many of your points apply to Spain and politicians here and it’s just general ignorance.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
I agree with you a lot.
For a sub that bears the name "Europe", most of the people who comment are Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians, etc. And in most cases, the chauvinist type of users. Also, I totally agree that people with a Google-research background are the ones that are most loud there. And to be honest, /AskBalkans is not much better. It's basically a smaller version of /Europe
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Just because the rest of Europe(and the world) does not agree with North Macedonia's version of history, does not automatically make them Bulgarians/Greeks.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
What a splendidly humorous argument.
Now take a moment to reflect on why no Macedonians are commenting on either of these "fair" subs.
CondensedHappiness@reddit
You are free to comment whatever wherever you want. Just dont be surprised when your looney tunes version of history is not accepted by the rest of the world. Being a victim is all cool and cozy, but reality should outweigh it
Super-Ant2417@reddit
"You are free to comment whatever you want"
Comments whatever he wants (as a Macedonian).
*gets attacked by tens, if not hundreds, of Greek/Bulgarian bots
*most probably gets reported and banned
Freedom of speech accomplished!
CondensedHappiness@reddit
You arent free? Im pretty sure if you dont live in North Korea or Russia or somewhere like that you are free to comment whatever you want.
You are NOT entitled to people agreeing with your comment though.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Enjoy your wonderful echo chamber!
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Echo chamber is what you want. Echo chamber is your r/mkd
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Same as /bulgaria, /AskBalkans and /Europe
See, you've monopolized major subs, so enjoy the echo chamber and the "freedom of speech" :)
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Nah, go post in r/history or r/medieval or literally any historical reddit.
You will get the same "hate!!hate!!!". I hope you dont jump to the same conclusion of "bugari-tatari!!afrogreek!!"
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Wow, the argument :)
Let's repeat - /bulgaria, /AskBalkans and /europe as just echo chambers for the Bulgarian narrative. Macedonians are mostly downvoted to oblivion because of the sheer number of Bulgarian/Greek bots and most of them are banned. fReEdOm Of SpEeCh!
CondensedHappiness@reddit
You are really not seeing the real issue of the whole picture here. I know you think that the main issue is a Bulgaro-Greek cabal that has somehow conquered the internet.
Where the issue stems is that the history being taught in North Macedonia is taught ONLY in North Macedonia and nowhere in the world. Now you want the rest of the world to agree with your version of history. That will NEVER ever happen, unless somehow North Macedonia takes over the world.
The issue are not Greeks or Bulgarians, the issue is your secluded whimsical version of history. That is the origin of most of your country's issues today
Super-Ant2417@reddit
I honestly don't care what you say. All you say is "bla bla bla" for me and what I say is "bla bla bla" for you.
You've destroyed the option for a solid discussion just by being agressive and dismissive with hundreds of Bulgarian/Greek bots. There's no discussion. Only downvotes and bans.
Macedonians (in most part) are gone from /AskBalkans and /europe.
Enjoy your echo chamber!
CondensedHappiness@reddit
We cant have a discussion? Who is holding your hands tied behind your back right now?
I repeat, you are free to comment whatever wherever u want. Just dont be surprised when people disagree with a version of history, that is taught exclusively just in your country.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
No, we can't have a discussion.
I will, most probably, be even banned for this amount of replies to a Bulgarian.
We are not free. You are creating an echo chamber. Enjoy the fruits of the bot-created "free space".
CondensedHappiness@reddit
You are mistaking the rest of the world for r/mkd where you can legit get banned for just existing as a bulgarian.
A true echo chamber of made up "history" somehow always hateful and aimed at your Greek/Bulgarian/Albanian neighbours, never at your Serbian brothers.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Think what you wish, I don't care what the average Bulgarian Reddit user thinks.
Enjoy your echo-hateful chamber.
CondensedHappiness@reddit
If its a random Argentenian or Lithuanian reddit user, you would care.
Because you have not been brought up since an early age by your educational system to hate Argentina or Lithuania.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Bla bla bla... Bla!!
Bla bla bla bla!?
Bla.
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Just embrace the hate bruv, it will make you stronger!!!!
Keep hating the uga-buga tatari bugari and the afro greeks!!! They are your true enemies for 154431243123 years!!!
Your only true allies, friends, soulmates are the Serbians. You have been allies since the biblical times after all.
Super-Ant2417@reddit
Such wow!
Such bla bla! :)
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Bla bla would of been good, the sad reality is that 90% of your compatriots actually who heartedly believe what I wrote as a joke above.
The reality is your "bla bla"
Super-Ant2417@reddit
You can't even handle "bla bla" :) :)
Ah, buthurt you are, aren't you?
shortEverything_@reddit
The world doesn’t agree with Bulgaria that the language is a Bulgarian dialect - the world also doesn’t agree there is no ethnic Macedonian minority in Greece. You guys are not arbitrators of truth despite your vocality on the internet and international organisations.
Any Macedonian topic is flooded with bulgars and Greeks - doesn’t sound like a constructive environment for debate but rather an eco chamber
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Just notice how this vile hateful communist propaganda works.
Greeks in capital letters spelled properly, "bulgar" small letter, not even spelled properly.
And these people want to be in a UNION with the Bulgarians btw.
shortEverything_@reddit
Bro I’m writing on my phone and give zero cares about spelling your nationality correct every time I comment. I wish I had a dollar for every time a you or the southern neighbour call us Bulgarians, bulgars, skopjans, Slavs, brainwashed, NMKs, thieves etc
CondensedHappiness@reddit
Naahhh you wrote Greek correctly. Dont backtrack on it now!!! Embrace the hate!!!
rintzscar@reddit
Hungary is not on the Balkans.
What you just explained is reductive, simplistic and, frankly, stupid.
Grow up.
Leather-Card-3000@reddit
Oh nooo, the guy from the askbalkans subreddit who defends western european racists told me to grow up..what should I do???
CondensedHappiness@reddit
I too call BS on that. I've been on r/europe for many years
I have never seen any hate towards the balkans (except for Serbia).
Leather-Card-3000@reddit
Oh noo... the guy from askbalkans subreddit who defends western european racists told me to grow up, what shouls I do????
Waswat@reddit
Itt people complaining on a sub hating on subs while they themselves are hating on subs. Y'all are a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
2024-2025@reddit
Not anything specific towards Bosnians, only seen shit towards Serbs and Russians.
You’ll see denial of Srebrenica genocide on r/srpska and Serbia. People denying the existence of Bosniak as a people and people wishing death towards Muslims etc
bobo6u89@reddit
Thats like a must have.
User20242024@reddit
LOL
Disastrous-Royal1695@reddit
Many years ago I was banned there with my old account because I did not side with a schizophrenic "The serbs want to demolish us" -Diaspora kid from the US who doesn't even know the language.
TopBoysenberry8563@reddit
That is the most hateful sub. If u are Serbian or croat you will be banned there.
Icy-man8429@reddit
And Bosniak too 😂
TopBoysenberry8563@reddit
How? That sub is full of bosniak nationalist.
Disastrous-Royal1695@reddit
That's the problem.
emirm990@reddit
You will get banned if you are not a Bosniak nationalist.
Divisive_Ass@reddit
Horsehoe theory - it went back to turk
Icy-man8429@reddit
Talking from experience, many such cases.
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Op is bosniak and got banned
ve_rushing@reddit
Apparently there's is such thing as "too much social media". They banned you for your own good.
SnakeX2S2@reddit
I was banned because they were relocating people to r/bih. I’m confused now, is the sub still active?
OrthodoxSlavWarrior@reddit
That's a fake reason they're giving you. They'd just deactivate the sub or something instead of risking their users getting a sitewide ban.
SnakeX2S2@reddit
Well it was strange when I got the response but I didn’t think much of it. Still, I don’t get why was I banned then. I engaged in r/europe multiple times, perhaps that was it.
OrthodoxSlavWarrior@reddit
It's a nazi echochamber sub, just like r/europe. That's, unfortunately, nothing new.
They have automod set up in a way that bans both serbs and croats for being serbs and croats. Serbs are being targeted directly through r/serbia and r/srpska, while croats are being targeted indirectly through r/europe.
Reddit admins also won't do anything about it as they're also power tripping asses who abuse the little power that they're given. They'd rather ban a fun and ironic sub like r/2balkan4you instead of things like r/europe. You can see exactly where their priorities lie.
LibertyChecked28@reddit
Based Bosnian Automod.
Scary_Persimmon_1682@reddit
They did a favor for you. You should buy them a chocolate.
Altruistic-Effect251@reddit
That sub is painting a very bad picture of all of Bosnia. It should be taken down for spreading hate, discrimination and war mongering.
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Yeah, we should report it so it gets taken down
WorldClassChef@reddit
Are you Liberian and Bosnian? Or did you mean you’re American and Bosnian? 😂
(Referring to your flair)
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Lol American.. I didn't realize its an Armenian flag. Thanks, need to fix that

Hahahahahah
Incvbvs666@reddit
In my short stint at reddit, I've come to view being banned from terrible subs as badges of honor. It's like Pokemon, collect 'em all!
Substratas@reddit
It’s giving old r/sailormoon mods.
enilix@reddit
That's an extremist sub. Go to r/bih instead.
ahmet-chromedgeic@reddit
The person leading the sub is mentally ill. Unfortunately r/bosnia is a good name for the sub and a lot, if not most foreigners think it's the sub for the country, so it gets traction.
oioioioioioiioo@reddit
That sub should be banned tbh, it's surprising how it still exists, I got banned there by having a friendly discussion. The original concept of the sub is to spread bosniak sided agenda as stated by the owner of the sub in another forum, if I'm not mistaken.
Stverghame@reddit
From what I heared, that sub goes on to ban random Serbs and Croats that never even participated in it.
I'd honestly take that ban as a medal, and inshallah I hope they find me and ban me. MAY IT BE THROUGH THIS POST, ELHAMDULILLAH
Life-Arm-3138@reddit
As a bosnian, let me say this: Najebem se ja moderatorima na r/Bosnia svega najmilijeg :)
vokille@reddit
For Bosnia and R. Srpska i probably understand, you told them you love burek with cheese?
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Burek with pork 😋 😉
vokille@reddit
Wow, that's low.
In Republika Srpska they also use lamb, true Cevapi in Banja Luka for egzample are made of lamb.
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
Just joking bro.. didnt mean to be offensive
vokille@reddit
Unless there's some rakia involved, i don't accept jokes.
CmdrJemison@reddit
Yea was also banned in there for no reason.
Motor_Reality_6@reddit (OP)
They might have seen your Croatians flair lol
dont_tread_on_M@reddit
Reason: croat
Certain_Bag6363@reddit
Political sub and a place where the hate for serbs and croats grow day by day..
ElectricDoughnutHole@reddit
This is the best sub, everyone is lovely here, so welcome! 🙏
outlanderfhf@reddit
There is no genocide denial in Ba Sing Se
CyberWarLike1984@reddit
Why r/europe though?
deviendrais@reddit
Is this sub even for Bosniaks? I‘ve seen some users from South Asia there
PasswordIsDongers@reddit
More and more subreddits do shit like this now. Can't do anything about reddit mods being reddit mods.
A_Child_of_Adam@reddit
That sub needs to be reported…
