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

How is it a power-trip when I'm not in any position of power?

I'm only talking about the hyper-specific instance of you wanting a post put back up that no one on that sub wants to read. You're wanting it put up on a technicality. It won't change anyone's mind. It won't make anything better.

Welcome to a free-speech website.

But, really, it's not. It's a free speech commons with the ability to create side-zones with further restrictions. They have now complied with the rules and so can remove further text with impunity. So, you're wanting a one-off technicality. That's definition of a petty (ie small) gesture. It doesn't get any smaller.

You of course have a right to futile and stupid gestures. I just also have a right to point out they are such.

But, yeah, I'm here for a reason. There should always be a free-speech commons, there should not be shadow bans, and there should not be manipulation of what hits the front page. Getting to say you're being a dick is a bonus. Mmm. . . yummy free speech in the free speech area.
