Our site culture is how it is from a lot of online fighting, and trying to counter brigading/trolls in the early days. Our moderation is pretty heavy-handed because of this, but they do let you appeal.
Usually if there's a rule, there's a specific event that caused it.
Moderating anything is literally gatekeeping, but I can see how to someone wandering in it looks like a lot of arbitrary stuff to tread carefully around.
But if you seem like you're coming here in good faith usually people aren't too impolite, although they might be because sometimes it's exhausting for us to hear something annoying for the millionth time that a newcomer is probably new to hearing.
It's terminally online gibberish yeah. I don't even understand what half of the site taglines mean or where they come from, and I've been using this website for years lmao.
Thanks for the info, but wtf... Maybe I'm out of touch, but that gibberish sounds more like gatekeeping.
We're gatekeeping... an obscure leftist online forum?????
Yeah lol it's definitely not what gatekeeping means

Is gatekeeping even real? It’s usually people mad about that based Mao quote “No investigation, no right to speak”.
Or liberals who are mad we won't say they're the cool kind of capitalist

I wish it were gatekeeping, then it would be intentional. Unfortunately, this is just how we are...
