I had this OP:
which used this article:
closed and deemed inflammatory today.
I’m kind of curious how something sourced from GLAAD could be deemed inflammatory?
The about page on the site used as the source states that:
Founded in 1985, GLAAD is a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change. GLAAD works to ensure fair, accurate, and inclusive representation and creates national and local programs that advance LGBTQ acceptance.
Would they actually publish something that was “inflammatory”?
Or is the moderator simply not willing to extend any effort to actually read what the OP article has to say and simply basing their decision on the subject matter and the fact that I submitted it?
I also submitted another OP on this same subject sourced from The Advocate. It has also been deemed “inflammatory”. That is here:
Instagram Suspends ‘Gays Against Groomers’ Amid Scrutiny of Meta’s Moderation Policies
And the source article is here:
https://www.advocate.com/news/gays-against-groomers-suspended-instagram
On this one the moderator has given some insight into their line of thinking when they say:
A story with the word GROOMERS in the title it isnt going to get posted on this channel .
This despite the fact that I am able to locate OPs created and posted by moderators that have “groomer” in the title after “groomer” was put on the banned word list around here.
Once again, I have to wonder if the moderator closing these two OPs actually took the time to read what the articles have to say?
Or is this place now simply unwilling to allow discussion on certain subject matters, no matter how the OP article approaches said subject?
