Been up an entire day with more than 1k upvotes on the German subreddit. Maybe ask what agenda your mod is trying to push there.To be fair, it’s in German. Entirely likely whatever automated flagging the admins used on the other post isn’t working on non-English ones.
Still, it’s a fair thing to point out.
If it is an automated thing then you can still file an appeal, but the mods pretty clearly acted on their own accord here.
I’m guessing the agenda is “this is definitely going to lead to a bunch of anti-islamic discussion in the comment section, and I don’t want to deal with all that (with limited mod tools)”
I’d put more blame on reddit administration than the mod who’s trying to play the safe side to keep the sub in existence.
That could’ve been a very different and still valid response though.
Different subs get different rules, unfortunately. The anarchism sub was constantly being threatened with being shut down if they didn’t self censor stuff that was fine anywhere else in Reddit, for example.
My cultural identity is based around freedom to acknowledge reality, and this genuinely offends me to my core. Maybe acknowledging reality should be made into a religion of some sort so it can be given similar protections? What would be a good name though? Sentientness? Existence?
I wanted to make a parody religion called “the church of slitting the throat of random bystanders on the street”, to make fun of doing harm and limiting the freedom of others under the name of religion. Would be also a good basis for some comedy/action-thriller movie/whatever, wgere a serial killer manages to legalize his killing spree by making it a religion.
Objectivism?
That one may be taken by people you don’t want to be associated with…
How about Common Sense?
Unfortunately, common sense is often the opposite of reality.

Reddit at its best.
That’s really insidious
Wow. From r/GayBros? Srsly?
They were notoriously one of the more openly mysgonstic and “drop the t” of the queer subs. That’s kinda wild honestly.
one of the more openly mysgonstic and “drop the t” of the queer subs
I was subscribed there for years and never saw a word of that…
Well I don’t know what to tell you aside from seeing a lot of posts on trans subs where OP would be like
Why do gay men hate trans women? I got told by someone in a LGBTQIA+ sub that I was just a a confused gay guy?
And the comments would be filled with people guessing
“This was /GayBros wasn’t it? They are like that, Gay men as a whole aren’t.”
I won’t argue with your experience, but at minimum that sub DEFINITELY had a reputation.
Redditors are known for making up random stuff just to cause drama.

you may be confusing r/GayBros for r/askgaybros. Roughly the same size and spelling, but only one of them has a strong reputation for transphobia.
Oooooh maybe! Thanks for the clarification!
They never expected the brownshirts to come for them, i guess.

c/leopardsatemyface material? 🤔
Please remember things like this when you say “hate speech isn’t free speech”. I wouldn’t put it past the Republicans to claim that pro-LGBT+ or pro-choice is hate speech against Christians.
Classic reddit
The post says nothing about Muslims, but please proceed to blame Muslims because mod said so.
Literally nobody in this thread is blaming Muslims. Please stop with the knee jerk reactions.
I didn’t talk about people in this thread. Sorry it wasn’t clear. I’m only talking about the mod
Hey, thats me.
For the record, the article doesn’t mention anything about islam or Muslims, and the comments in the post neither, so the mods saw “homophobic attack” and went “better remove it because Islamophobia”

Phobic in this sense means aversion to/repellant. You don’t think hydrophobic materials are afraid of water, right?
Comment removed: subject unfortunately too sensitive to joke about on the internet…
Second part was: “seriously why is it called ___phobic, doesn’t make sense?”
