    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.

    spez uses AI-assisted profiling to have mods determine if a member’s content is ideologically-biased and make comments about violence, and usually anyone using violent language even casually is marked for a permaban. So by this rule a lot were permabanned, many of them progressives.

    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.

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

      Allah is known in Christianity as God the Father, part of Trinity. Being an Abrahamic religion, Islam simply expands on Christianity, while describing much the same characters.

      Except Muslims do not recognize the Trinity as a thing; God the Holy Spirit is to them Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus (Isa) is a prophet, not a Son of God.

    May subs use scripts to moderate also which is very lazy. If you want to give warnings that is fine but they shouldn’t be used to ban. The worst are the subs that ban based on you leaving a comment in a sub they don’t like regardless of context. That should violate reddit rules because it blocks users from participating across the app and violates their access without any warning.

      I agree that it’s bullshit to ban someone from your group because they are subbed to a group that you don’t like. For subs that fear brigading by people that disagree with the intent of their group all they have to do is set up a "FLAIR’ policy. You ask the mod for flair. They do a quick check of your history and they allow you access.

      In general if you invest just a bit of time on research you will unfortunately find that one political leaning much more than the other bans people simply because they belong to a group that they don’t like.

        that would never happen on lemmy!

        /s

        source: I’ve been banned from communities I have never visited because the mods said I’m a racist bigot.

        jokes on them, I hate everyone equally regardless of race or gender. I especially hate malicious liars and ethically challenged mods.

          Let’s say it’s less likely on Lemmy. And group bans seem to last for days instead of forever.

    I regularly write my God’s name on things. It’s an ancient Polynesian God, Fu’Ksa’Kes

    It’s important to be respectful for fu’ksa’kes

    Check out my handle people. I was permabanned because a mod form one of the subs had a personal vendetta against me, he or she ended up reporting me to Reddit HQ citing racism when I had a civil and celebrated comment on the sub. The topic was regarding poverty as an identity amongst young people in my country, obviously I got permabanned so I decided to leave Reddit as a whole, since the Reddit mods do not want to establish any kind of conversation so I could explain the situation in a better way. I was a 17 year active user as well, I am sure the mod who banned me was not even there when I signed up.

      I started a new account a few months back and had to start building karma, so I was commenting a lot in the subs for new users. Every other day there was a post about “why can’t I post?” “Am I banned already?” etc. becasue reddit is trash, and I would respond explaining about karma thresholds and bots, and how reddit mostly doesn’t care about new people all that much.

      I got a 3-day ban for “pushing an agenda” - which is backed by plenty of evidence that any mod of any community can see. But if you have an opinion that doesn’t work with a mod, out you go.

    “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.

      it gets a pass everywhere, the decades of propaganda against arabic people via, bush’s wars had a generational effect. but criticism against christianity, is where they draw the line.

        Yes. Before Bush Islamaphobia was still promoted to justify the Cold War. This is probably the one miserable thing that doesn’t originate from Reagan.
