So apparently, spreading news about an homophobic attack is considered islamophobic

The article doesnt mention anything about islam, muslims, etc. and there was only like 4 comments, none mentioning islam or muslims. So the mods here assumed the attacks were done by muslims and decided to remove the post.
- This is also what happens when mods just see a large number of reports in a short period of time and do absolutely no investigating into the post themselves to make sure those reports are legit. I would generally note the mod taking ridiculous actions like this, and then report them to the other mods because they aren't helping if they're being lazy about it.
- The root problem is Reddit’s policy, not the mods.

Jeez... thanks for reminding me why I moved to Lemmy
- Wait... you moved to lemmy because you want to be anti-islamic?! Defederation incoming!

This is the new standard. Every group is throwing out the word "phobic" against anything pertaining to their group, leaving no room for any real discussion. Everyone's insulated in their own little bubble, popping any bubbles that don't perfectly mesh with theirs, and then surprised that there's no understanding between groups. It's not an islam problem, or an LGBTQ+ problem, it's a modern social interest group problem.
- Not quite. The real answer here is money. Reddit is part owned by Dubai venture capitalists and Reddit is deathly afraid of ANYTHING remotely anti-islam as they risk losing funding so they completely restrict speech around it and remove anyone who doesn't comply. Fuck Reddit.

Religion ruins everything.
- How bg3 treating you? I still need to finish nw2

Fuck religion.

Welcome to Reddit. Incidentally those fucksticks banned me for "report abuse"
Why? Because I reported people for harassing me. Like following me to different subs and leaving nasty comments.

That's what happens when you base your morality on groups instead of the subject at hand.
Unfortunately moderators have to do that to handle the amount of idiots who do the same.

Is it me or “GayBros” sounds waaay too gay
(No offence, just joking)

A bit of both, Gizmophobic?
- Gizmo's cute as long as you don't feed him after midnight or get him wet!

reddit has been garbage since 2014

I got permabanned, after 11+ years, for expressing my hatred of Russians. Guess they're a "protected class" now? LOL, nah. They're just paying the bills and funding the bots.
Reddit's a cesspool of loud-mouthed children, bots and the "politically correct" at all costs. And somehow, I'm not liberal enough. Go figure.
- That's just racism??? Having this horrible hate for a whole class of people due to the region they hale from is sad. It's like saying "I hate north Koreans" they are just the victims of an awful regime. Hate the gov not the people idk what's hard to understand. I'm sure whatever country you come from has had a history of some kind of colonialism or other atrocities
  
  Huh? Russian isn't a race. It's a nationality.
  I'm not supporting hating all Russians, just clarifying
  
  victims of an awful regime
  Russians sure have been poor, poor "victims" for an awful long time. When I was a child, they threatened the entire planet with nuclear holocaust. But you weren't around then, were ya kid?
  These poor victimized people have had 100+ years to get their shit together. And yet their evil continues to poison our planet. Give 'em another 100 years maybe? Perhaps at some point they'll pull their collective head out of their collective asses?
  Hate the gov
  The government they stand behind, over and over again? Decade after decade after decade? No matter the atrocities?
  Russia should be stomped fucking FLAT. Just like the world did to Germany after they started the two most heinous wars in human history. Germany learned the notion of FAFO. Time for Russia.
  Pull your head out of your ass. Russians are, and have been, the enemy of the world for 100 years. They're not going to change and they'll accept your compassion and laugh behind your back.
  But hey? Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe we should try and make friends with vile gangsters? I'm sure their heart is in the right place.
- That's just xenophobic honestly, so, yeah, makes sense.
- are you trying to rationalize your own racism?
  
  Hating Russians is racist now? Huh. Thought they were white people like me. OK. I'm a racist. Guess that word fits whatever these days.
- I'm going to leave these comments up I think but I just wanted to chime in and say expressing hate for any group based on their location of birth, race, ethnicity, age, religion, etc. isn't okay here and will also get you booted.
  
  That's entirely dependent on if you like those people or not, it's not a steadfast rule that's ever been applied on any website
  
  You didn't mention moderator status. Does that mean I'm free to call you a smelly scrotum?
- Reddit is about as Politically Correct as a KKK/Neo-Nazi meeting in Alabama. The amount of racist garbage that's spawned from that website is insane, especially when so many who use reddit claim otherwise even though it's all out there in the open, mods don't even ban half the racist comments
  I mean we're talking about a user base that actually got upset with people wanting less racism on reddit and threw such a fit that they got a poor girl fired who was in charge
