Dear r/Egypt community,
It has come to our attention that a recent post has attracted a number of comments containing hate speech, homophobia, and attempts to justify violence. Let us be unequivocally clear: This behavior is abhorrent and will not be tolerated within r/Egypt.
Our subreddit rules explicitly prohibit hate speech and discrimination. This includes any comments that incite violence, promote hatred, or demean individuals based on their identity. We also do not tolerate preaching or proselytizing that targets or marginalizes others based on their identity or beliefs.
We understand that discussions about social issues can be passionate. However, there is a clear line between respectful disagreement and hateful rhetoric.
Such behavior violates subreddit rules and Reddit’s content policy. Therefore, anyone who engages in homophobia, transphobia, or any form of hate speech will be permanently banned from this subreddit.
r/Egypt is a space for all Egyptians to engage in constructive dialogue. We encourage respectful discussion and debate, but we will not allow our community to become a platform for bigotry and intolerance.
If you see any comments that violate our rules, please report them immediately. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all our members.
To those who disagree with this stance: Your views that promote hatred and violence have no place here. This is a community for thoughtful, respectful discussion that represents Egypt’s diversity, not a platform for hate. This is not a platform for you.
Thank you for helping keep r/Egypt a safe and respectful space for all.

Does that include hate speech against Israelis? Because I'm all in when it comes to hating them.

Intransparent moderation doesn't help people understand what's acceptable and what not. Posts are often removed with no indication of the violated rule, as what has just happened with my post minutes ago[1] criticising, surprisingly, removal of posts with no clarification!

Half of this sub's content is self-hatred against Egyptians in general and notorius classism in particular, and no collective actions have been taken by the mods against that? So, yeah, when u apply your rules sellectively expect people to break them.

Hope we actually see something that counts as equality when it comes to the islamophobia or christianphobia on this sub. If you can actually care about all three (islamophobia,christianphobia and homophobia) then you would be actually against hate speech. Just dont discard the first two with the excuse of "free speech". It's either open season on all three or no hate speech for all three.

Thank you I really feel uncomfortable when I see a homophobic or just hateful post on a Arab community so good thing y'all mods actually ban homophobia and transphobia <3

I will never accept them because I have a religion that forbids this. And I am an Egyptian too so paning me or anyone who disagrees literally goes to show that there's support to one group over the rest. 85-95 % of Egypt is Muslims so it makes sense that this stuff is not ok in their community and last time I checked there's something called freedom of speech here so homophobia shouldn't be panned from here cause it's considered that. You are right about the violence part but that's about it.

Of course, I support doing this. It’s even more important for you to initiate a vote and let everyone choose—that’s a better way to reflect freedom and democracy.

I've never read anything in this subreddit yet that I'd personally define as "homophobia" lol
Where exactly is the limit now? Is it still okay - on a factual and argumentative level - to express one's deep disgust towards a certain group of individuals but calls for violence are prohibited or are both now banned?
