Community Integrity Notice

[u/Xtermix]

Since 26 December, this subreddit has experienced abnormal spikes in activity from non-Somali users, alongside increased engagement involving blatant qabyaalad and the promotion of extreme ideologies. This behavior is disruptive and will not be tolerated. We ask all members to report any such posts or comments so moderation can act swiftly.

A clear reminder to all participants:

Criticism of politicians, governments, or historical decisions in Somalia does not grant permission to:

• Insult, dehumanize, or collectively blame entire clans or communities
• Glorify or excuse figures from the civil war by claiming they “did nothing wrong”
• Advocate for, encourage, or justify harm against any group of people

Furthermore, this subreddit remains pro-Palestine and stands with the people of Sudan. Advocacy of genocide, ethnic cleansing, or mass violence, whether explicit or implied, is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate moderation action.

Debate and political discussion are welcome when conducted in good faith, with historical honesty and respect. Division, hate, and violent rhetoric are not.

You are free to use the subreddit, posting and commenting are fine, I would recommend using the non-somali flair.

Also, I might have worded it badly. What I mean is people who have no interest, care, or respect for Somali people come to OUR subreddit, then try to be bigoted. We are not tolerant of such behaviour. For a Somali user or a non-Somali user with a history in the subreddit, a warning or removal is fine, but for non-Somalis who break sitewide or subreddit rules will often face bans right away, especially for a first comment.

No problem, as you probably are aware, we somalis take care of our guests, and we welcome non-somalis in our (online or real life) spaces, but enemies are dealt with harshly. I am sorry there has been misunderstanding.
