Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy..blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

While that works with 'facts', it doesn't work for opinions. A sense of morality is exactly an opinion or set of opinions that define what is and isn't right. It is exactly mired in perspective and again this is very self evident.
Muslims say that music is Haram because it is said so in Hadith, does that make music objectively wrong? They believe when a religious authority states this is true, that the religious authority has made a canonical judgement ( fatwa ) that is basically binding.
Am I a heathen for liking music then?
I can't believe people are so naive as to think objective standards for morality are even remotely possible.
That is the exact opposite of what the above comment said. An objective view of morality would say that the "rightness" or "wrongness" of the act of making music is an objective truth. If music is "right", then music is right, regardless of what Muslims or any other people say, and vice versa.
It means you can't come to a correct moral judgement just by taking a poll of the people around you.
That's literally exactly how all humans work. Our ideas is morality come from our peers, and culture. That's all relative and very mutable.
