Everything is political. The notion that you can do things and have them not have political consequences and be politically informed is a total falsehood and illusion.

This app is just honest and upfront about its politics, in contrast to something like Reddit which is “apolitical” which just means the admins explicitly support the status quo.

My mistake, I misunderstood and thought purge was already present.

I think my tendency would be to consider there to be about 3 categories of content. In parentheses is the result that I would probably go with when classifying the content in that category.

• Rule Violation (can be viewed upon click)
• Reprehensible (cannot be viewed)
• Banned/Illegal (purged from the DB)

Clearly banned/illegal or reprehensible content would also be rule violations in most cases, so I more mean that rule violation is the minimum category to be moderated and that a rule violation isn’t excluded from the other categories, etc.

Given that purge exists, it seems like showing the content when you go to them makes sense.

The only other idea I have is implementing a click to reveal, but that seems like overkill to me.
