News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.

Nah this isn’t corporate influence, it’s just plain old bigotry and racism. This smells strongly of “brown religion bad”.

A lot of Americans fell victim to this after 9/11 and it never went away. Anything Muslim is terrorism. I doubt most of them even know that allah is just the name they use for their god, and certainly not that it’s the same god as the Christian god.

allah is just the name they use for their god

Christian Arabs use this name for God as well

Lots of overlap between ‘viking enthusiasts’ and white supremacists unfortunately. This specifically seems more christofascist but obviously lots of overlap there too.

1000 year old? How dare this dude threaten us with scary Arabic numerals

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (6 children)

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.

Reddit mods are like, the pus from a festering wound

[–] kidney_stone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Interestingly, today I have seen a video pop up in which a guy (Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen) claims he is being persecuted by Islamic investors because he is refusing to talk about there being Muslim Vikings. Is it maybe related to this? Is this some new discovery that there were Muslim Vikings?

Just as a side note- this is a genuine question, and I have my skepticism towards Bull-Hansen that he is pretty much a right-wing reactionary judging by his videos during the last few years, but I am just wondering are these somehow connected.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 2 days ago

What dipshits.

[–] limonade@jlai.lu 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I wonder how this guy would react to the existance of the Arabic Christians.

these rings are cool as fuck

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

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If it was about God

The irony of this is that Allah literally means God.
