A recovery and discussion community for those who were once followers of Islam.

General rules:

Keep memes and low-effort posts for Fridays only, and make sure you add "(Fun@Fundies) 💩" to the post title
Remove confidential/personal data.
Don't call out other users or communities
Content needs to be in context of the subreddit
Self-hate and concern trolling is not allowed. We understand that it can get tiring to see numerous dogmatic/extreme Muslims around you which might include your own loved ones BUT that is no excuse for people to then generalise their personal experiences to hate in a general sense people who might just happen to be Muslims. Posts like "I hate my dad because he forces me to pray" are OK however, posts/comments like "As a Pakistani myself, I hate Pakistanis, they are so dumb and stupid" will not be allowed
Follow the general Lemmy.World policies

The only way to get out, is to move and go no contact with everyone. Even if it is for a little while, so that you can really be yourself.

I wonder if there is a similar community in Europe. But the part I'm living in, or used to live in, everybody acted and faked for their elders.

Now that generation is dying off and I'm excited to see my nieces and nephews get more and more freedom. One is married to a Belgian, the other to a Moroccon. That would be unbelievable 20 years ago, when girls were forced to marry inside the same village.
