Understandable. I didn't mean to imply that I'd antagonize the mods, I'm sure their jobs aren't easy. It's just annoying that only certain conversations are allowed in certain spaces, and that the rules aren't necessarily applied consistently. After being censored once for a dumb reason, it just makes me less likely to engage - and I'm sure OP agrees. It's hard to have a nuanced conversation when you're removed for wrongthink. Anyway, to each their own.

I didn't mean to say you desire to antagonize the mods. It's cool, I understand how it can bum you out, but give them the benefit of the doubt that they're not simply power-tripping and that it's for "wrongthink". There's purpose to why they do what they try to do. Leave the community as an "all-think" you end up with something unfortunate like reddit's r/feminism or twox. I mentioned the voluntary work more to point out they can't do a thorough analysis for each reported complaint, then imagine a long queue on their modmail. Evals need to be as quick as possible. Don't take it personally, don't let a few hiccups turn you off from interacting with other radfems. Mods are just trying to keep it as focused as possible in a way they're capable of. Cheers.

Reddit, and especially twox doesnt allow "all thoughts", they are both carefully curated, in the case of twox including some pretending men moderators.

IF the only way ovarit can stand is by obsessive micromanagement of EVERY opinion, then it doesn't deserve to.

There's only one thing that non-biased, non-powerhungry mods need to do: "is this illegal"?

I shed NO sympathy for overactive nancies who get off to the ideas of their own personal mandate SILENCING other's opinions whom they don't like for whatever reason. That's NOT speech and thats doubly NOT feminism.

Save your boot licking for the pretending males who have successfully silenced women on reddit.
