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

Except we've moved the sub from all and we're building the sidebar as we speak. It's a GC community and eugenics is not a GC ideology

You haven't changed the sidebar to announce you will remove dissenting opinions. And even when you do, that doesn't allow you to remove comments posted from before you updated the sidebar and took your sub off /all.

Now, reapprove all my comments you removed. Welcome to Saidit.

Wow, what a meaningful and productive stand to be making.

Not at all a useless, petty power-trip. . . You must be fun at parties.

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.
