Somali atheist woman here, this is my last safe space.
I haven’t been to the x Somalian community since our last purge in our discord by the same people that made it a cesspool of fuck ass fake performative nonsense. ( I hate every time I stalk that sub it’s an eyesore.)
TLDR about the Somali ex-Muslim discord
They let someone who was a liberal in and they doxxed most leaders but couldn’t do the rest of us so we had to leave and that was our last safe space -taken by a liberal Somali. (Because of this most of us on the Discord just stopped interacting. It was just too dangerous. I’ve lost so many friends, I’ve never seen them again.)
Shortly after the overriding of the x Somalian subreddit started. Btw this was something that was bound to happen when you don’t clarify the status of something. That's why we need a Somali atheist-only community, so these ppl know their lane.
Then suddenly the Islamophobia conversation started mattering in an ex Muslim sub Reddit ( can someone explain this to me logically???)
I can’t stand these people so fucking much it’s either complaining about a family member they still eat dinner with like we’re a joke? They genuinely believe we’re a joke and most of us aren’t fearing our lives from crazy ass Muslim families enough to change our names and uproot our lives.
I guess I’m making this post to feel comfortable again
because they're everywhere..
( Why do they follow us even on the internet to victimize themselves against us? Like they aren’t physically harming us? When the rest of the world already does that for them??? It’s never enough. It's creepy.) I’m an FGM survivor so it’s extra triggering for me when I’m silenced and some fuck ass jilbab is cared for me more than me in a subreddit that’s designed for ppl like me u know?
I love this subreddit you guys aren’t thinking about your oppressors ‘isms and feelings’ and it makes me feel comfortable to speak up.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for not coddling them. x I’m glad to be back here since my community is gone,
