A recovery and discussion community for those who were once followers of Islam.

General rules:

Keep memes and low-effort posts for Fridays only, and make sure you add "(Fun@Fundies) 💩" to the post title
Remove confidential/personal data.
Don't call out other users or communities
Content needs to be in context of the subreddit
Self-hate and concern trolling is not allowed. We understand that it can get tiring to see numerous dogmatic/extreme Muslims around you which might include your own loved ones BUT that is no excuse for people to then generalise their personal experiences to hate in a general sense people who might just happen to be Muslims. Posts like "I hate my dad because he forces me to pray" are OK however, posts/comments like "As a Pakistani myself, I hate Pakistanis, they are so dumb and stupid" will not be allowed
Follow the general Lemmy.World policies

I don't believe it is. The subreddit is over a decade old at this point, this community is rather new by comparison. Probably @Iamt1aa created it when they moved to Lemmy as well.

Unfortunately the exmuslim community here is much less active. Let's hope this changes. I'd rather have people be able to post here than deal with Reddit's stupid admins who randomly ban people.

That would make sense. The subreddit is akin to a warzone between Exmuslims and Hindutvas and other fundamentalist groups, they think we’re just some hill for their stupid vs stupid battle, instead of our own people. Although it’s pretty easy to catch them, you can just see the 2010 anti-muslim memes they’re posting that are so low quality, and don’t usually feature ex-muslims but instead trying to potray muslims as one giant terrorist group. And it seems that we’re winning so far as long u/An_Atheist_God keeps calling them out.

I learnt a Japanese saying watching a skit about idioms from other countries, it goes like Peaches, Chestnuts; 3 years, Persimmons; 8 years. We just need to wait and it’ll be active; be hopeful.
