Ovarit is just as guilty of random censorship as reddit. What happened?

Not on saidit much and not yet on ovarit myself. I took a look and, though I don't speak for the mods, I can guess as to why.

You were derailing the point of the meme/possible discussion. It is a fact gc/rf woc have been absurdly accused, repeatedly, their stance is "white feminism" in an effort to dismiss their specific, and the entire gc/rf advocacy's, grievances. And yes, it is almost always a white TRA doing this and it's a deliberate racist demonization and discrediting bs strategy. Then you come in to needle a version of "HDU talk about male violence on women! women also rape!"

If you were there in good faith, you should have contacted the mods after your comment was deleted to ask why, instead of doubling down with a new sarcastic post, which only made you look more trollish. At ovarit's still early stage, they are rightfully protective not to be infiltrated by TRAs and trolls.

No one should have to go through such such efforts to engage in good-faith criticism. At the end of the day, it causes the original poster and anyone who witnessed the censorship to limit their commentary to pre-approved topics (if they decide to even continue participating), which ultimately results in groupthink. No good can come of such censorship.

It's not censorship. It's applicatin of rules. Of course one needs to put in the effort to read the rules and about pages if they want to participate in any forum. And ovarit isn't a free-for-all forum; it advocates a specific type of feminism.

Ah yes, it's merely orders. I am certain that you would return an escaping slave so that you could continue following the rules set in your time.

The Police have unlimited power to enforce the Party’s views and ideologies and if anything goes against these ideologies or is not in line with the Party’s views, they are classed as illegal.

The people are regulated and oppressed by a certain set of beliefs, ideologies and even ‘rules’.

the Party tries to control the population’s behaviour by inventing ‘Newspeak’ a new language where the main tactic is to limit words to restrict independent thoughts and this ‘dumbing down’ will make disobedience unthinkable

...law is always based on a ‘body’ that gives it its power and authority. Whether that body is coherent or ethical, is a completely different question.

Wherever this power derives its legitimacy and whether it is morally acceptable, is a much different question.

Their rules are too vague in terms of "correct circles" to post things in. One article or comment can technically cover multiple circle categories at once, but it's not uncommon for one's threads to be nuked because they're in the "wrong circle". Once the thread is nuked, you can't just re-link it to the "recommended circle".
