Hi comrades,
We've received some reports recently and so I'm making this announcement.
In our rules, Lemmygrad does not lean one way or the other towards religion. This means that in effect, we accept all communists no matter their religion or lack thereof.
However, this doesn't mean we allow feuds or unprincipled criticism. This seems to come especially from our atheist comrades, who sometimes (from what has made its way to us) see it fit to remind religious comrades that religion shouldn't exist.
While we appreciate that the criticism is about religion and not the particular beliefs of some comrades, this kind of discourse does not have its place on Lemmygrad as we effectively don't lean one way or another and expect users to lean that way too.
edit: as such, this reminder also applies to religious comrades.
We're very hands off with moderation and we'd like it to remain that way in a community as tight-knit as ours.
This doesn't mean that you can't criticize religion or atheism, as long as it comes in good faith and is done from a Marxist basis.
This principle also applies to other contentious topics that are prone to debate on our platform.
Thank you for sharing, quite fascinating, reconciling scientific socialism with Islam. I think it was a practice for some major Ba'athists too, right? Like "I'm Muslim, but any sect that finds itself tryna preserve exploitation even in the name of Allah boutta be excommunicated".
In those exact words ofc. (/s)
