It also makes me very uncomfortable seeing people on lemmy support countries and politicians that are literally funding multiple genocides of arabs, and exploiting the third world for profit. I always loved r/arabs and other minority communities as a balance of sanity for that.

Lemmy's supposed to be an international community, but i feel very second-class here :p

As of this moment, is there any Arab community that people can join? I remember the existing one having debatable moderation

I mod !arabs@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Though ironically, when i make posts in arabic there i get downvoted 🥲 There's more westerners (thinking that it's a community for news, not for arabs) than actual arabs there.

First time I hear about it, have you ever promoted it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca ? 😄

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Actually nope, i completely forgot lol. We actually have 58 members already, somehow? All i do is post news articles for now :^)

Promoting it would probably help, there are probably other Arabs around, they just don't know about the community

There are other arabs, i do get to talk to them sometimes (i recognize them all, i don't know if all of them recognize me tho lol)

I love talking to them, i just wish there were more to talk to.

I'll promote it later :-)
