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.

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

@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.

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.

@freemo

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.
