Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

And what did the Catholic church at least used to do with people denouncing their faith?

Nothing. There are millions of lapsed Catholics and converts out of Catholicism. The church does not take action against them.

Excommunication is meant for practicing Catholics. It means "You can't take part in Catholic sacraments until you stop disagreeing with the church."

It is obviously pointless if someone already left the church. In fact, the people excommunicated most often - by far - are Catholic clergy who dissent about some matter of doctrine.
