I am new here. Just came over from Facebook hell, where they have blocked me for publishing a "news story" about Somali Muslim thrives" and commented,"we need to get them out of our country"....they called it hate speech and banned me for a week. Next time it will be thirty days. They determine what hate speech is. I am anti-Muslim, or anti-any religion that claims that anyone should kill another human. I think that I should have the right to my feelings.
@Sharondee Hello!
You can find a lot of details about this instance and the services we offer at https://qoto.org/about/more
I would quote a paragraph that is relevant, it's in the "Rules" section of that page.
"We are all adults here, act like it. Despite our belief in freedom of expression (free speech) we want to create a space where people are respectful to each other. Don't disrespect people; if they disrespect you then block them and move on. If we get a report on one of our users then an administrator will reach out to the parties involved and try to mediate a peaceful resolution. We will talk it through like mature adults. Lets remember there is a person at the other end of the screen, if we can be mature in real life we can do it here too."
@Sharondee Nobody called it hate speech, @design_RG is just being cautious, and it seems rightfully so, as you calling him brain dead breaches the rules the way I understand them.
I don't think your feelings will be silenced here, as long as you don't try to hurt others.
@namark
Thanks, namark, I pointed someone to our Terms of Service and Code and Conduct, and the response was indeed not in accordance with our expectations.
I could just silence her, but sent a report and will let our moderation team decided.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

That's my fault. I originally replied and kept it as a DM so only he could see. I did refer to it as hate speech, though I admit not particularly hateful as hate speech goes (it could have been worse). But yea I'd say if someone is calling for a group of people to be kicked out simply because of what god they believe in, I'd say that's a pretty hateful thing to call for.
He wasnt however suspended from the service, so I'm mostly going to wait and see how far this goes. But I did make it clear that if he is telling muslims to leave their homes and leave a country they are legal residents of, that wouldnt be acceptable behavior here.
I see, that makes sense. I thought they were referring to their post here (which I would say is a discussion on hate speech) somehow being classified as hate speech itself.
Well I guess if you call my feelings (legitimate) "hate speech" you are as brain dead as Facebook. I suffered five attacks by Somali Muslims. If I cannot have enough free speech to share the truth, you are advertising falsely. Bye
