I often don't understand why my comments get flagged. Sometimes it feels random, sometimes I can see that it is because I'm too libertarian or something?
Idk, it feels like people push comments into the 1 dimensional US political dimension (like critical of vaccins = pro-life = climate-change-denier or polar-opposite). Whereas one can be anywhere on a spectrum on any of the axes.
Critical of some research branches? You must be pro-doge then, and you are the "don't look up crowd" and vote maga.
So detrimental to open discussion.
I thought its probably some bot accounts that are flagging anything close to right wing content on here. But maybe its the people who knows but it's funny I kinda feel similar to you.
My comments are "alternative" as far as the mainstream is concerned, however I've not experienced flagging but rather consistent user downvoting.

Can you link to any pro-libertarian comments of yours that got flagged?
Valid reply! I went through my pages of threads didn't see anything, is there a way to search? It's also submissions btw.
