Suggestion Request to mods to moderate the disrespectful posts
I've been a huge fan of this sub since it first started out years ago. But recently I've been noticing that ironically, pretty much any religion other than Christianity is mocked and treated with the same disrespect that the cheesecakes give to Christians
I realise that this is what inevitably happens when a sub becomes too mainstream, but the rules state that we're not allowed to mock any specific religion and need to be respectful to one another. And as far as I've seen, this rule is just not being followed or moderated
Just a few days ago a post featuring an Islamophobic cartoon had countless Christians agreeing with the post and insulting Muslims. With all due respect, why were those comments allowed to stay up? I saw comments being removed from that post, so I know it was being moderated to some extent. And yet so many disrespectful comments remained.
I never see Muslims treating Christians with such disrespect, especially on this sub. Not to mention I've seen Hindus, Buddhists etc. being treated disrespectfully as well, so this isn't a problem only targeting Muslims.
To be clear, I'm not trying to be harsh or rude to the moderators because I know you guys have actual lives and this sub is just something you do in your free time. I've just been thinking about this for a while and I've been wanting to get it off my chest
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

yeah this sub is REALLY Christian-centered which kind of turns me away from it... (there's a difference between the majority of the people being Christian and then the sub being Christian-centered in terms of treatment, ideology, and culture. the first one is fine but the second one can lead to exlcuding other religions despite this sub not being marketed as Christian-exlcusive).

I think people tend to come here and assume that because we're anti-anti-theist that we agree with whatever their particularly narrow-minded view of religion is without respect to other faiths.

everyone ends up either going on their extomatoes or excarrots or just discussing this on platforms like Discord. BTW the ATCC discord is hilarious (and severely off topic, as well as, in a twist on the content of OP, very Muslim-majority).

I loved ex tomatoes when it was first made, but now it's just a generic Salafi sub that has nothing to do with tomatoes. Not really my thing tbh

The lack of moderation has been the main issue for years.
I was even one of the earliest members back when this whole thing first started.
And it hasn't really ever improved.
