the mod said they will unban him if he remove the post in /r/viking
“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.
Wait to they find out about Arabic numbers and start banning upvotes and downvotes
In Germany someone trolled a mayor candidate of one of the Nazi parties with that. He fell for it

Reddit is embracing the new christofascist dictatorship.
Is that the state flag of Ohio on the right side astronaut?

Islamophobia still get a pass on the internet. Especially on Reddit.
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.

You mean Reddit mods, right?

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 small userbase of lemmy really allows you to see that 80% of really stupid posts are made by very few very stupid users.
hey, i only account for 5% of those really stupid posts
The most absurd about this imo. is that Arabic is considered promoting terrorism, but Vikings are not.
1000 year old? How dare this dude threaten us with scary Arabic numerals
Reddit has always been a fascist shithole… At least since the state murdered aaron…

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.
Yes this is my hobby horse and I am riding it
I mean, that’s the standard of moderation for any online space. Lemmy isn’t any better it’s just more benevolent.
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.
I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.
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.
Reddit sucks ass, and not in a good way.
* Cancels account
Username checks out?
It really does, but lemmy really isn’t much better, it just sucks in a different way :[
A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.
- Doesn’t give a warning, just goes straight to a ban. Lazy mod.
- Says the words “for allah” promotes terrorism. I’m critical of Islam but even I wouldn’t make such an obviously bigoted claim.
Its not even Islamic, arab-speaking Christians say they worship Allah too, its literally just a translation.
Dios! Gott! Kami!
but can’t say Allah… go figures…
Doesnt it need to be Kami-sama?
God only said to honor thy father-san and thy mother-san, didn’t really have clear instructions on himself.
Ty :)
So anyone else saying Kami-sama is by their own wish to honor kami, yes?
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.
It is like why people get Chinese character tattoos and “engrish” packaging and tshirts are popular in east Asia.
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
What are the odds that a Viking raider wore this ring ironically?
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 don’t think reddit would actually stand for this. We’re not that far down the road…yet.
The Moderators of a viking themed subreddit being racists? No way!
I got shadow banned from the entire site for making a popular post about diy Luigi prayer candles on witches vs patriarchy.
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
I definitely disagree with what happened to you but I didn’t get banned from the page I got shadow banned from the entire site.
I don’t think they’re trying to compete with you, just relating a similar story.
Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.
If it was about God
The irony of this is that Allah literally means God.
It’s usually called islamophobia more than irony.
