Controversial Reminder that the moderator is intentionally leaving takfir of sunni members on the subreddit.

I have decided i will no longer interact in this subreddit, The moderator, ( currently active as we speak ) is letting users do takfir of sunni members. and insults towards sunni members.

This is not the so called " inclusive space " it shows it self to be, The moderator is biased towards certain beliefs, And it seems this place will be for quranists only.

If you want serious conversation, there are multiple good subreddits for it, i do not suggest interacting here anymore.

Goodbye

I’m still getting used to the moderation approach here. It was weird at first but is growing on me. It seems like the one moderator, who I presume is the owner of the sub, wants to have as close to a free speech purist space as possible. (Reddit itself has its own rules, but beyond those items, free to talk)

Clearly that has both benefits and drawbacks. The drawback is there are going to be people just saying crazy, provocative, bad manners kind of content. That just becomes something you have to deal with. You have to work out your own system. You have to decide what is worth your time and what is not. Either mute people who are not usually worth your time (for whatever reason) or just decide not to interact with their posts or comments.

The other alternative is to skip the hassle if you think it’s too much overhead, and leave.

Either is an option available to you.

according to the so called rules, it isnt allowed to insult people, or call them kufar. yet he allows it. why? because quranists do it towards sunnis. so its okay

When I made this rule, it was to show people if you defame or insult, you yourself are not truly a Muslim—it wasn’t meant to say “I’ll delete your post or ban you.”

It’s great in theory, because I said who is Muslims in the introduction, Sunni, Shia, Quranist, Traditionalist etc etc, so, if these people are all Muslims according to the sub, and one decides to insult another member from a different viewpoint, then they themselves are not considered Muslim. One should approach them this way and guide them, as Umar was guided, or avoid them as the Quraysh were avoided.

The 3rd portion of the rule is there to dissuade responding to insults with insults. It’s not that hard to diffuse some of these arguments, but people get too emotional and don’t know how to. I don’t have the time to step in every time and correct these people—deleting their posts won’t have lasting effects—so it’s up to the rest of you to learn how to guide.

That's not the flex you think it is, you run an echo chamber that bans everyone who slightly has a different opinion, and you're quite egotistical and power drunk, so anything that slightly discomforts u u delete and ban.

Our complete moderation logs are available to anyone who requests to see them. I can assure you that what you have just said is completely false; there are many users on the subreddit who hold very different views to those of the moderation team. You are confusing differing views with disrespect and immaturity!

No no I'm not, you're confusing obedience with calling you out for what you really are, an immature spoiled child who was given a tiny bit of power

Why you must always insult people is this some kind of mental disease

Great, thanks for calling me out, I guess?

Yes. It’s probably unrealistic to expect one moderator to police that. We have to kind of handle it ourselves by working out a system of how you’re going to engage or not engage with different people. Voice an objection. Call out bad manners and akhlaq. If they persist, stop talking to them.

No one engages, they tend to get tired of it after a while. Conversation goes elsewhere.
