    I dislike all religion for obvious reasons. Example, god would never allow the mass starvation of children no matter which god. He doesn’t work in mysterious ways. But freedom of speech to allow me to express my freedom to not believe in any god and to call god and any political party and or company stupid is Paramount to anything else.

    I don’t get it, I don’t see any religious connotations and the rings look cool.

        That’s the assumption that god is benevolent and would like to not murder people. Any other god doesn’t deserve any admiration.

        If there was nothing to tell you that those gods exist then you’d never know and wouldn’t be bothered by connecting bad or good things to the existence of a god.

        But as we know, Gazan people and Ukrainians are being murdered every day for ~the past 5 years. At any point of those 5 years of suffering god could have stopped it. But nah, ratchet it some more instead. and that’s reason enough to not believe in a god or to even hate an asshole in power who won’t move a finger to prevent suffering. And I don’t need to stand on moral high ground. I think most of us could agree that feeding the hungry is the logical thing a good person would be doing at this time.

      I’m trying to come up with a reasonable context for words “for Allah”. When have you heard anyone say “For Jesus”? In what scenario would you say it?

        “Jesus saves”, “God is my co-pilot”, “OMG”, “god is love”, “the lord is my savior”, “christ is king”, etc etc etc…

        It’s literally everywhere in English. I’m constantly bombarded with the exact same stuff that the brainwashed cry about when it’s “allah”.

        The mind set just might have been a lot different from how we think today…

        And if you want a copy of a 1000 year old ring, you really should copy it and not edit it to fit someone else’s notions about religion.

          I dunno who “we” is, but it’s exactly the same for the vast majority of people in imperial core. Just not with scary arabic. See my other comment for a few examples out of countless.

            “We” is the majority of people compared to way back when and today. Don’t be obtuse. Just compare the thoughts and beliefs of one mere generation ago from anywhere on the planet as compared to today if you need an example. And people across the planet and history have always had different thoughts and beliefs than they do today. No matter your take on the “imperial core”.

            As to why copy a rare 1000 year old design as close as possible? It’s their bauble and choice, not yours or mine, (though I will defend their right to do so). And besides it’s what the word “copy” means. Not “similar” or “kind of like it”.

          Exactly, but pointing out the historical context for this is going to get you downvoted.

    Lemmy isnt any better, I’ve been banned from a few Lemmy communities for wrong think or cause someone got mad that I disagreed with them. When you ask for clarification you get the same hostile bullshit that Reddit mods had. Having people mod communities is always gonna fail, because someone with a power trip and hurt feelings will always she the one applying to be the mod

    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.

    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.

        Wait, there’s more!

        Pedophilia is a sexual/romantic interest in prepubescent children. Most pedophiles never engage sexually with a child, and a good share of child molesters are not pedophiles and are just looking for easy victims.

        So on top of potentially shitting on LGBT community, this also concerns people born with a shitty sexual interest that know full well kids should never be abused.

        And the rates of pedophilia seem to be higher among child sexual abuse survivors, so they get death threats on top of their trauma. Not great.
