I dunno, you're whole stance is claiming things that run counter to my experience and I don't feel wrong having attacked ML at all. You can say both sides do it, but even in that case it's wrong. I'm not looking to find a place that strictly lines up with my views so I can just live in an air tight echo chamber. I speak my mind in all communities and have only gotten banned in ML because I don't fit the mold. Maybe I've not come at people in world "the right way" like you have to get censored but I'm open to being shown some instances of it.

I'd love to show you examples of my normal comments removed, but they've all been removed lol. What would you like me to show you, I guess I could screen shot it from the mobile app on my side.

If you're Marxist and want to live in that ML bubble that's fine, but I'm not interested in a community that is so strict in what can and can't be said, especially if it's going to host non political communities. It seems like reinforcing group think. If it's all about Marxism then only host those communities, hosting others seeems like a slimy way to inject politics into other things.
