Cadaan economist randomly dissects R/Somalia 🤣🤣

[queasyian]

Why are these people so obsessed with us? I’ve never seen them do this to other groups. Also why do these posts get many views?

its a trend to speak about us right now. we are the 'others'. its fine, remember this was the russians at one point too from the west. tomorrow it will be someone else

Worst thing Somalis did was airing out all their bad rubbish online.

They only have themselves to blame although you can’t control folks online people are supposed to have some level of xishood

You will never see this sort of things regarding other africans. Heck, not even with middle easterners or desis. You would think that due to islamophobia someone would have digged up their online communities.

Toosh ee nugu saareen. Only way to move forward is just to not speak english, just somali.

Most of Somalis in the diaspora can hardly speak Somali

The Somali name gets boosted by the algorithm, it’s all by design

What's worse are the low IQ Somalis engaging with the tweet, helping it gain traction. We are doomed with handicaps

Cadaans are watching r/Somalia. For a small minority we’re too loud on the internet

Somnet--this site's predecessor in spirit--was dissected ages ago by some cadaan lady who wasn't fake and agenda-ed like this guy:

A book, "Digital Diasporas: Identity and Transnational Engagement", mentions somnet and Basra

I found this in the basra introduction and thought it deserved it's own thread. It starts off like this interesting statistics, I wonder how much of this holds true in sspot as well. Starts off nice and wholesome right? Just wait, it gets worse. after basra welcomed back that girl...

I can’t believe there was actually a book written about somnet

It’s mostly about uk Somalis

The Uk is a cursed island

Lowkey I might divest from somalis, no logical discussion is possible and we brandish the worst of ourselves to the world to a degree I don't think any other community has.

As a guys that actually chills with other communities we really aren't that much worse than anyone else, but we refuse to not have all our negativity be at the forefront of our existence

 

[AbrahamFreedom]

I have read people say countless times that the mods on that subreddit are always banning or silencing people who are irreligious or who have fully integrated into western society so they wouldnt spread anything that would be antithesis to what it means to be "Somali". This was commonly done on various online Somali platforms since forever. Somalis and their policing of Somalis opposite to themselves only have themselves to blame for this.

So them somali racial debates have existed specifically within online circles for well over a decade now. Turns out the great incel invasion of the pandemic was just a ticking time bomb.

ngl I think this all links back to our clan based culture, we just function on such a strong degree of tribalism we look for an "in" and "out" group in anything.

It's not honestly unique to Somalis or our culture. I've been on forums and such since around 2008-2012 ish and have gone back to some of those sites' archives going back to the 90s and most ethnic groups discuss the same stuff or similar stuff. You'd be surprised. Human beings in general are obsessed with "in" and "out" group dynamics. We never left our Paleolithic bands.

It's disingenuous to say that we don't exist on the higher side of that scale considering our recent civil war, but generally I agree. Even I, as critical as I am of us, have been in community both IRL and online with enough demographics to know that this shit is everywhere

But we are the only ones who make it a part of our visibility to the degree that we do it's insanity

I personally don't have beef with irreligious Somalis, but they aren't this holy grail of intelligence some people on this forum think they are

Not only irreligious. Westernized Somalis are more emotionally stable and alot more self-aware than the rest of Somalis. They act like gentlemen/a lady. The non-westernized Somalis, which is almost all on Somali platforms like r/Somalia, are usually unhinged. Its no surprise of the negative image of your community
