There's some censorship going on in the newly popular feminist subs and it needs to be openly addressed.

I don't see how they haven't been "honest about it". It's quite clear what the sub is for.

If your only issue is that they haven't removed themselves from All, then that's your complaint and the rest of your post is superfluous. I'm sure the mods at /s/GenderCritical would be happy to do that.

This has been changed. Thanks for your patience with a brand new mod team, much appreciated.

Thanks for complying with rule 4b. Also, welcome to you and all refugees.

I have been seeing tons of gendercritical posts on /s/all for the past day. When I just checked, they are all gone.

thanks for your kind reply. I created the sub on the fly and I didn't have it unchecked.

Just because you've removed it from /all doesn't give you a pass to remove comments posted while it was still appearing on /all.

Why not, though?

It's a curated sub now. Imagine if I had a gardening sub, and people were posting irrelevant stuff, or comments about how gardening is stupid. I take it off r/all to make it a better space for the people who want to learn about tomatoes. Why shouldn't I be able to remove the comments that never fitted the goal and wouldn't be allowed now?

Is there an explicit rule about this?

it's been removed from /r/all? to comply with mod rule 4b the sub needs to also state in the sidebar that opposing opinions are removed.

how they haven't been "honest about it"

Well what is "radical feminism"? The sidebar provided a lot of links to do reading, but even here there are many women who think "gender critical" just means "trans critical." What is "homophobia"? Does not believing in "sexual orientation" count just as much as "we should all go <abusive act> the <slurs>"? What is "racism"? Does "I think White peoples deserve a homeland" count just as much as "we should all go <abusive act> the <slurs>"? What is "antisemitism"? Is all criticism of Jewish groups prohibited? And what does any of this have to do with helping women? Why does not believing in "sexual orientation" in addition to not believing in "gender identity" mean women can't participate without self-censoring?

Why were perfectly acceptable posts removed? Why did the moderators refuse to answer polite posts appealing removals?

I don't think they were fully honest about what sort of content they removed and why.

they haven't removed themselves from All

They have been aware of the moderator rules for several hours now since I mentioned that they may want to take that option. I understand they are still sorting things out, but I also noticed that they have not made some quick edits to the sidebar and taken themselves of all (though they did make a few quick edits to the sidebar to add the rules about removing some specific slurs).

This is also an issue for the people who are taking care of site policy. Site policy is a bit (imo unfortunately) fuzzy sometimes, imo. Is GC breaking the rules? What exactly are the rules in this situation? I believe this needs to be made more clear as well.
