    “God”: Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we’d all be a little better of we honored him more.

    “God” but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.

    Disgusting and such a clear example of the damage we do to another when we accept the all encompassing conditions of corporate social media without resistance.

    When a social media website is being run for profit, this kind of shockingly ugly simplification of “foreign” ideas (Islam is NOT foreign to the US) is inveitable. In order to monetize at scale, the system demands this degree of ignorance, it is not optional nor an unintended side effect it is rather how “we” ensure the “right” history is recorded as a racist, xenophobic society choking to death on its own bigotry.

    It is the same situation with mainstream corporate news. The more money you add, the more practiced and willful ignorance you get.

    Remove it so they unban you.

    Post it again, and add all this history too.

    Immediately unsubscribe from their shit sub.

      Just delete all the content and then stop posting: posting again has almost no effect as the mods have no social life and will manually delete the post within minutes, almost nobody would have the time to read it

    Mods are always the actual dumbest most power tripping little fuckers. (InB4 banned from this com)

    Edit: This is actually just straight up racist / xenophobic the more I think about it.

      No, more just anti-authoritarian like an ACAB teen. Racism would have been easy to spot if you’d called the mods a racial slur .

    The most absurd about this imo. is that Arabic is considered promoting terrorism, but Vikings are not.

      I want a President do declare Aaron Swartz Day a day of national mourning and shame, with hopeful reflection on the immense value of open source & creative commons. Maybe with a public investment in open source commons like browser or mobile OS.

        Lemmy is better because there are open standards and alternate servers.

        Humans are mostly all the same; incentives pervert or ennoble us.

        Centralized power and monetary incentive tend to the former

    I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.

    Community ban from r/unitedkingdom, followed swiftly by…

    Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people all over the world. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules.

    Permanently banned for hate

    Reddit is moderated by the worst people in the world.

      I got banned for the same reason after a comment that contained a direct, attributed quote from Donald trump. TBF he is a hateful little shit so I probably should have known better.

      Tbf, some people are hiding their LGBT-phobia under the guise of “i hate pedophiles”, I’m not accusing you of anything, but I can see how that statement could be problematic.

    A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.

    1. Doesn’t give a warning, just goes straight to a ban. Lazy mod.
    2. Says the words “for allah” promotes terrorism. I’m critical of Islam but even I wouldn’t make such an obviously bigoted claim.

        Some of us Atheists unironically wear religious stuff because it looks stylish, because the words sound cool, or because we like and appreciate the fandom of a particular story, even if we realize people made it all up. I can wear Dr Who swag for the same reasons.

            And similarly why you find a lot of Caucasians with Mandarin script tattooed on their skin. It’s cool, they like the meaning, and they don’t have to be Confucian or whatever

              More likely it was because the Vikings worked as mercenaries around Europe and for the Byzantines. There is a railing in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul with runes carved into it by bored Vikings. They would’ve picked up items from all over the world in the process. They’ve also found Islamic coins in hoards found in Scandinavia.

              The owner of this ring probably didn’t even know what was carved on it, it just looked nice.

      I got banned from Witches vs Patriarchy because I got into an argument with somebody who was saying only bottom surgery counted as gender affirming care. My stance was that top surgery is also gender affirmative, but the mods said thats transphobia. I don’t get it.

      Edit: accidentally a word

    Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.
