      This is such a weird response that multiple people are making. Not that you’re seeing a trend of Islamophobia, but just one shitty comment. And rather than merely chastise that commenter and chase them off, you suggest abandoning the platform - making it more friendly to more shitty commenters. Why cede the space to them?

      There’s a difference between [anything else of a reason] and a phobia. But you’re free to use pop-buzzwords, if you’d prefer to.

      I haven’t seen much Islamophobia here specifically, but all of Lemmy is generally anti-religion, while still being very humanist. This comment was particularly horrible by any standards because of the sheer lack of empathy for widespread human suffering. That is not merely anti-religion, it is anti-humanist, and that is why it’s being downvoted.
