The issue that I had with reddit are ludicrously complicated posting rules on each subreddit and absolutely ruthless deleting of threads.

Most subs on SaidIt don't even have a list of rules, and most of the ones that do just copy one or more site-wide rules.

3/4 of my threads got deleted for arbitrary reasons.

It's actually against site-wide rules for a moderator to remove your posts unless:

A. it breaks site-wide rules or is off-topic, or

B. the sub has been removed from s/all and clearly lists the rules in its side-bar

You can contact u/d3rr if you think someone has violated this rule. M7 seems to be back (even if he's ignoring me) so maybe you could talk to him too, IDK, I quit being an admin a while back and quit paying attention to who's doing what.

Is this forum good place to start controversial discussions?

Yep! You're allowed to have any kind of opinion you want, so long as you don't promote violence (which people have gotten away with too). I'm pretty sure whatever you want to talk about is allowed.
