If I understand it right, the moderator of the mastodon.world instance has blocked several posts by Hasnain Kazim, as Kazim reported yesterday on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/661473263/posts/10163657720033264/
Kazim is a quite famous and successful book author in Germany and something between left, conservative and liberal. He was journalist for the most important German weekly news magazine Spiegel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasnain_Kazim?wprov=sfla1
Canceling his posts is stupid and certainly completely exaggerated. To me from the external perspective it seems that the moderator is abusing his power. He is damaging free and respectful discussion. Furthermore, when a famous person like Kazim reports those experiences to his broad audience, who do not understand the functioning of the fediverse, the moderator also damages Mastodon in general significantly, it seems to me.
What do you think about this case ?
Oh wow...
People still using reddit said inflammatory things?!
Next you're going to tell me everyone on twitter is actually the same person as their profile pic.
The people using arabic in online comments are of course not 100% arabs, but i'd bet 80%+are. And i am pretty sure that if you concentrate on those using arabic in international media who are fine with gay people dying, that this percentage gets a lot closer to 100%.
There's billions of Muslims...
So you could literally show me 10s of millions that are dicks, and I'll say that means thos 10s of millions of people are dicks.
I wouldn't say that means all the billions of Muslims are dicks.
You could sub "Muslim" for any demographic, my logic would stay the same because I'm not a fucking bigot.
If you ignore how these cultures abuse and kill their LGBT population with death sentences based on religious law, you are a bigot, because you wouldn't be that lenient if for example catholic italy would do the same.
Again:
The actions of even 10s of millions doesn't give you a reason to judge all 2+ billion.
It's based on "religious law" by the interpretation of extremists.
Something shared with the other two Abrahmic religions and multiple others.
But at this point you are being explicitly bigoted and I'm going to keep reporting it. So it would be in your best interest to go spread that shit elsewhere.
Thats the problem here: i don't see any countries where laws are based on the bible and interpreted in a way that legitimizes murder of minorities based on their gender and orientation, and especially not such a widespread usage of sharia law.
You can educate me if you know of any that do so currently, and i know that not everything is peachy in all countries (especially since Trump 2 in the US), but by and large this behaviour is not socially accepted and for sure our judges don't condemn anyone to death for being gay.
Sharia is fundamentally incompatible with democracy, and also in my view incompatible with human rights. And you are falling victim to the "no true scotsman" fallacy - denying that Muslims stance towards LGBT in general is absolutely abhorrent and often deadly where they have power doesn't help anyone.
