Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Why is the title different?
We like to have fun here.
What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.
What are the basic rules of the community?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.
-
Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
-
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
-
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.
FAQ
I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?
-
This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
-
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.
What can I post?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

Banning Zposter lemmygrad account in such a way that we cant even view the mod logs for what they posted is incredibly suspicious and disingenuous.
Zposter had a very inflammatory mode of communication so I'm not going to blanket defend them as its possible they said some wild things. But this specific circumstances of the past 10 days? The admins and mods are moving in an incredibly suspicious and socially violent way that is clear to see.
I don't expect anything to change here. Settler Yankees run the platform then the problem goes to the core. I'm not too bothered though. Because Allah swt is sufficient
If any of the pro-resistance pro-Z newshead comrades want to join a tg group chat where we can talk news (not yankeebear drama) then shoot me a dm. I'll try to set something up this week insha'allah.
Edit: updated for neutral pronouns as I dont know Zposter pronouns.
I think the deleted thing that pissed them off was that they said "Redwizard wants to disable IP scrapping for a few months then ban everyone with the same IP then enable IP scrapping again" they provided an image of a leaked chat of redwizard saying that.
The old (Russian) "misinformation" 🫠
Zposter was banned for malciously spreading the idea that we use AI mod tools and that we can turn of IP anonymization. The comments were spammed and thus i used the remove content action. People raising the concerns in good faith have been left up, like afters' comments.
Intentionally lying to continue this drama is wrecker behavior, just as zposter used an alt to pretend to be another user to engage with this post and to DM others with the intent of furthering the struggle session
I see. thank you for explaining. I still feel uneasy about the way everything has played out.
Also I stand by what I posted earlier about about the zionist sensitivity to the antisemitism discourse.
Its incredibly unfortunate that the conversation seemingly always gets reduced to being about the actions of one particular individual or a particular mod.
