Here's the truth. They want a safe space. If you question the admins they will ban you. You must be militantly polite or your gone
They explicitly state that they're making a safe space in their TOS thing, no?
Yes? That's explicitly the purpose. I get it's shitty but it's pretty stupid to go to a place where they outright tell you they're going to censor you and then get mad that they do it
What does "militantly polite" mean?
Overbearingly respectful, almost groveling, to their admins if you misspeak.
Do you have any examples of this?
Except... that's not what they say anywhere. In fact they wrote three nuanced essays that explain in detail their philosophy, and lay out that you CAN be critical of something (i.e. feminism) in a nice way that acknowledges your humanity and the humanity of others, and that if Feminists come in and flame you over it, THOSE are the people who will be getting warnings and bans. They want a mature community that fosters mutual understanding when disagreements arise. So when someone says "feminism bad" like they have a 26 character limit that doesn't exist, they see it not as disagreement but as disrespect.
This still sounds like you are just guessing. Can you actually provide examples of this happening? With the moderation log being public we should be able to easily see who got banned for what.

Took me like 10 seconds to find it, it's at the same place as for every other instance.
I very much disagree with "no examples needed", if you can't provide any then you're just talking out of your ass.
