Yeah they're a bit too censorship-happy. I've had a few comments and posts removed. And they're very ideological/hivemind-y. I try to stay away from ideology because it's too much sometimes. Maybe if they were less strict with the circles and eliminated the downvotes it'd be better.

I like radfemmery for the memes, but I mainly stick to saidit's gc and lgbdropthet subs. I like seeing multiple different opinions, not the same opinion upvoted over and over.

It's just crazy. It's like they DELETE whole threads that aren't even offensive and/or totally off topic... and then get all pissy if you question "why".

I guess this is why people accuse them of obsessing over "ideological purity".

It's like... you bake a cake and place it on the dining room table for them and everyone else to enjoy. They come along and proclaim, "This cake belongs in the refrigerator or the kitchen counter, not on this dining room table", so they toss the cake in the TRASH. Then they say, "We tossed this cake because it was placed in the wrong spot. You can't move this cake. You will have to bake a new one if you want it, and place it where we tell you to. It might still get tossed again, however!".

this is actually a wonderful way to put it.

It's also startlingly similar to the 'gay cakes' scandals. Posts should not be deleted for ideological reasons, just like cakes should not be denied for those same reasons.
