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

GenderCritical was a sub for women who know that patriarchy exists. Who know that gender identity is bullshit. We will never be able to have productive discussions if we constantly keep having to "debate" men who come in and try to convince us that the very foundations of our beliefs are wrong. It'll go around it circles forever. There's no point to it. Personally I feel you should be able to comment but I don't believe anyone owes you debate.

Edit: whatever happened to "if you don't like something don't look at it"? Women don't constantly try to infiltrate male centric subs. This is something men on reddit do and it's fucking annoying.

It's still alive and well. If you don't like a comment someone made on /s/GenderCritical, hide it and move on. If the sub is on /s/all, the sub is not a safe space, and exists for all users on Saidit. If that's not what the users of /s/GenderCritical want, all you have to do is remove yourselves from /s/all, and you can be as exclusive as you like.

Saidit was created to combat exclusion and censorship. You came here for that very acceptance of diverse viewpoints, so that's what you're getting. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

BUT the question we need to address is: should be the moderators be permitted to go and exclude comments that were posted while the sub was still appearing on /all?

Prior to our update to rule 4b in the sidebar the only comments I removed were ones with slurs in, which is a rule I added when I first became a mod on Monday.

We are trying to keep the sub on topic and there are a lot of people upset at being displaced.

We are not trying to censor anyone.

Your fellow mods removed a ton of my posts (which didn't contain any slurs) before you complied with rule 4b. Explain that.

We didn't know otherwise and we're still getting a team together. GC's been in existence on this site for 3 days. We didn't know the rules here but we are learning.

I don't know how many times I have to say this but the ban on Reddit took everyone completely by surprise so we are doing what we can to regroup.

Its not our intention to tread on toes. We are no longer on s/all.

Because reading the rules before you start actioning comments is so difficult? Your fellow moderators were registered on the website for literally two minutes before making their first moderator action.

I can't force people to do anything. The sub grew very fast and we were cogniscient of not letting it get out of hand too quickly.

It is now over 1000 members and will grow as the week goes on.

You're the one who appointed a brand-new user as moderator. Did you even take a second to think about whether they were even suitable?

They moderated previous subs. And we needed mods quickly due to the volume of incoming users.
