I think this site is still very young, and obviously it's for anyone who prefers a less heavy-handed approach to moderation. I'm new here too, interestingly for the exact same reason. r/waterniggas was an in-joke, and had zero racial commentary, and they banned it just for using a naughty word. They've gone over the edge. It's not even policing opinions at that point, it's a V-chip that automatically flags language like club-fucking-penguin and that is a recipe for blandness in my book.

I don't think censorship (or opposition to it) is itself a left- or right-wing issue, so the conglomeration of various folks who come here to get away from it don't necessarily (or perhaps don't yet) fit into either camp simply by virtue of being here. Hopefully it stays a mixed bag. We'll see.
