Seeing a thread get locked just for asking if it’s okay to disagree with trans people’s identities really rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t want moderators pushing their agenda on to me. If I see something I don’t like, I can block that user or community. It’d be nice to block entire instances, but I don’t think we have that feature yet.

Does anyone know of any instances that don’t have stringent rules that exist to push a narrative? I’m cool with some moderation, like for spam and illegal content.

    That’s not why it got locked. It got locked because of the type of comments that you don’t see there anymore, as they kept coming and we removed all of them. They were name-calling and not saying very kind things to OP. We thought we don’t need that, and as they had their question answered, I locked their post.

    So it was protecting the OP there, not going crazy on censorship.

      Oh, I would have no idea because they were censored from me. Lol, see my point? I’d rather do the blocking myself than rely on others to do it for me. That way I get a clearer picture of what’s going on because I’m seeing everything I want, not just want others want for me.
